Abstract Composite coatings of TiB were successfully obtained on the surface of a Ti–6Al–4V alloy by in situ laser cladding technology using Ti/B/Nd2O3 powders. The microstructure and corrosion resistance of the fabricated composite coatings were investigated because relevant studies have been thus far limited in this field. The results indicate that the cladding coating and the substrate combined well via metallurgy after laser cladding treatment, and no obvious cracks were observed in the cladding coatings. The coatings comprise only the TiB and the α-Ti phase. The addition of Nd2O3 promoted the formation of a uniform and refined microstructure of the cladding coatings, and a well-defined structure was obtained when the added Nd2O3 content was 2 wt%. The microhardness of the cladding coating obviously improved by 3 to 4 fold above that of the Ti–6Al–4V substrate. Moreover, the corrosion properties significantly improved by adding Nd2O3 into the coatings. Electrical impedance spectroscopy and polarization tests showed that the best corrosion resistance of the cladding coating was achieved with the addition of 2 wt% Nd2O3. All samples revealed obvious near-capacitive behavior after immersion in a corrosive medium.

The synthesis of hard composite coating on titanium alloy by laser cladding of Al/Fe/Ni+C/Si3N4 pre-placed powders has been investigated in detail. SEM result indicated that a composite coating with metallurgical joint to the substrate was formed. XRD result indicated that the composite coating mainly consisted of γ- (Fe, Ni) , FeAl , Ti3Al , TiC , TiNi , TiC0.3N0.7 , Ti2N , SiC , Ti5Si3 and TiNi . Compared with Ti-3Al-2V substrate, an improvement of the micro-hardness and the wear resistance was observed for this composite coating.

To improve the wear resistance of titanium alloy parts used in the engineering applications, in-situ formed Ti(C,N) particles reinforcing Ni-based composite coatings are fabricated on Ti6Al4V alloys by the laser cladding technique using Ni60, C, TiN, and small amounts of CeO2 nanoparticles mixed powders as the pre-placed materials. Firstly, the formation mechanism of Ti(C,N) particles as a reinforced phase in the coating is investigated. Then, the influences of CeO2 nanoparticles on microstructures and wear resistance of the coatings are analyzed. It is indicated that the large Ti(C,N) particles form around TiN particles, and the small Ti(C,N) particles form through independent nucleation. CeO2 nanoparticles play important roles in increasing the nucleation rate and improving the precipitation of Ti(C,N), hence the microstructures and wear resistance of the coatings are apparently improved after adding CeO2 nanoparticles. It is observed that the 1 wt % content of CeO2 additive in the pre-placed powders is the best choice for the wear resistance of the coatings.

Laser-cladding CeO2-doped Ni-based composite coatings were prepared on the surface of a titanium alloy, and the effects of CeO2 addition on the microstructure, microhardness, and corrosion resistance of the prepared coatings were studied. The results showed that TiC, NiTi, Ni3Ti, and Ti2Ni phases were formed on the prepared coatings. Moreover, the addition of CeO2 in laser-cladding coatings effectively refined the microstructure and reduced the number of cracks generated in the laser-cladding process. When the amount of CeO2 was 2%, the number of cracks in the laser-cladding coating was significantly reduced compared with that of 0%. When the content of CeO2 was 2% or 3%, the microhardness of laser-cladding coatings reached the maximum value. At the same time, it was found that the appropriate addition of CeO2 was helpful to improve the corrosion resistance of the laser-cladding coating. However, excessive CeO2 addition could reduce the corrosion resistance of the laser-cladding coating.

Electroless nickel coatings are widely popular in various industrial sectors due to their excellent tribological properties. The present study considers optimization of coating parameters along with annealing temperature to improve microhardness and corrosion resistance of Ni-P-TiO2 composite coatings. Grey relational analysis is used to find out the optimal combination of coating parameters. From the analysis, it is confirmed that annealing temperature of the coating has the most significant effect and amount of titanium particles in the coating has some significant effect on corrosion properties of the coating. The same trend is observed in case of combined study of corrosion behavior and microhardness. The surface morphology, phase transformation and the chemical composition are examined using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and energy dispersive analysis respectively. The Ni-P-TiO2 composite coating revealed nodular structure with almost uniform distribution of titanium particles and it turns in to crystalline structure after heat treatment.
