The composite processing between laser cladding and low temperature (300°C) ion sulfurization was applied to prepare wear resistant and self-lubricating coating. The microstructure, morphology, phase composition, valence states, and wear resistance of the composite coating were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), and friction and wear apparatus. The results indicate that the laser cladding Ni-based coatings and the maximum hardness of 46.5 HRC were obtained when the percent of pure W powder was 10%, composed of columnar dendrites crystals and ultrafine dendritic structure. After ion sulfurization at 300°C for 4 h, the loose and porous composite coating is formed with nanograins and the granularity of all grains is less than 100 nm, which consists ofγ-(Fe, Ni), M23C6carbides, FeS, FeS2, and WS2. Furthermore, the wear resistance of the composite coating is better than the laser cladding Ni55 + 10%W coating, and the friction coefficient and mass losses under the conditions of dry and oil lubrication are lower than those of laser cladding Ni55 + 10%W coating.

The experiments of laser cladding Ni-coated nano-Al2O3 powder were made on 2Cr13 stainless steel using 7kW CO2 laser processing system. The microstructure and mechanical characteristics of composite coating were tested by scanning electronic microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersion analyzer of X-ray (EDAX) and microhardness tester. The results showed that the composite coating was composed of superfine cellular dendritic structure. The X-ray diffraction data revealed that the cellular grains were composed of nano-Al2O3 particles, iron nickel alloy and iron chromium alloy. The mechanical characteristics of composite coating greatly increased. Compared with parent metal, the average hardness of composite coating increased by 1 time, and its wear property increased by 1.25 times.

Laser cladding of the Fe3Al + B4C/TiN + Al2O3 pre-placed powders on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy can form the Ti3Al/Fe3Al + TiN/TiB2 composite coating, which improved the wear resistance of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy surface. In this study, the Ti3Al/Fe3Al + TiN/TiB2 composite coating has been researched by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. It was found that during the laser cladding process, Al2O3 can react with TiB2 , leading to the formations of Ti3Al and B . This principle can be used to improve the Fe3Al + B4C/TiN laser-cladded coating on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Furthermore, during the cladding process, C consumed the oxygen in Fe3Al + B4C /TiN + Al2O3 molten pool, which retarded the productions of the redundant metal oxides.

In this study, Al–Ti–Co was used to improve the surface performance of pure Ti . Laser cladding is an important surface modification technique, which can be used to improve the surface performance of pure Ti . Laser cladding of the Al–Ti–Co + TiB2 pre-placed powders on pure Ti can form ceramics reinforced the composite coating, which improved the wear resistance of the substrate. Characteristics of the composite coating were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness and wear tests. And the laser-cladded coating can also have major dilution from the substrate. Due to the action of the fine grain strengthening and the phase constituent, the wear resistance and microhardness of pure Ti surface were greatly improved.

Laser cladding Fe-based alloy coatings with 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15% Al2O3 xerogel on 45 steel substrates were prepared by 5kWCO2 continuous wave laser. The effect of the content of Al2O3 xerogel on the microstructure, microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings was investigated by scan electron microscope, X-ray diffraction. The results show that the microstructure and properties were different when the content of Al2O3 xerogel changed. The addition of Al2O3 xerogel can enhance the fluidity of molten liquid and refine the microstructure. Adding adequate amount of Al2O3 xerogel to Fe-based alloy can improve the hardness and the wear resistance due to the nano-Al2O3 particles on surfaces and the dispersion strengthening and hardening of nano- Al2O3 particles.

To increase the strength and wear resistance of material surfaces, various combinations of B4C and 80TiFe powder were mixed into a Fe60 self-fluxing alloy powder; the composite coatings reinforced by TiB2–TiC were successfully prepared on Q235 steel surfaces by laser cladding. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to study the microstructure and chemical and phase composition. Microhardness and wear testers were used to investigate the mechanical properties. The results show that the interfaces of composite coatings and substrate materials are excellent for metallurgical bonding. The block-like TiB2 particles and flower-like TiC particles are uniformly distributed in the cladding coating. When the mass fraction of the mixed powder is 30%, the average microhardness of the coating is approximately 1100 HV[Formula: see text], which is 50% higher than that without the mixed powder, and demonstrates the best wear with a performance twice as better as that of the substrate.

The NiCr–TiB2–ZrB2 composite coating was deposited on the surface of blades made of steel (SUS304) using high-energy ball milling technology and air plasma spraying technology, which aimed to relieve the wear of the blades during operation. The influence of titanium diboride (TiB2) and zirconium diboride (ZrB2) on the microstructure and wear resistance of the coatings was investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Vickers microhardness tester, and a wear tester. The results showed that the TiB2 and ZrB2 particles were unevenly distributed in the coatings and significantly increased the hardness and anti-wear, which contributed to their ultra-high hardness and extremely strong ability to resist deformation. The performance of the coatings was improved with the increase of the number of ceramic phases, while the hardness and wear resistance of the coating could reach their highest value when the TiB2 and ZrB2 respectively took up 15 wt.% of the total mass of the powder.

In this paper, the enhancement of NiCrBSi coatings by adding Cr3C2 were investigated. The NiCrBSi coatings with different additions of Cr3C2 were produced by laser cladding. The microstructure, hardness and wear resistance of the coatings were studied by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness tester and M-200 wear tester. It is found that the main phases in the coatings are [Formula: see text]-Ni, Cr[Formula: see text]C6 and Cr7C3, and they also contain a small amount of CrB, Ni4B3 and Ni3Si2. Moreover, with the increase of Cr3C2 addition, the microhardness and wear resistance of coatings are obviously improved. When the addition of Cr3C2 is 20%, the wear resistance of the coating is the best, and the wear resistance of the coating increased by 191.2% than that of the Cr3C2-free coating. The wear resistance of coating decreases when the addition of Cr3C2 reaches 30%.
