Microstructural analysis of TiC reinforced ferrous surface composites processed by accelerated electron beam irradiation

The present study aims to analyze microstructures of TiC reinforced ferrous surface composites processed by accelerated electron beam irradiation. Two kinds of powder/flux mixtures, i.e., TiC and (Ti + C) powders with 40 wt% of CaF₂ flux, were deposited evenly on an AISI 304 stainless steel substrate, which was then irradiated with electron beam. TiC agglomerates and pores were found in the surface composite specimen processed by irradiation of TiC powders because of insufficient melting of TiC powders. In the specimen processed by irradiation of Ti and C powders having lower melting points than TiC powders, a lot of large TiC carbides were precipitated in the melted region, together with a few TiC agglomerates or pores. This indicated the more effective TiC precipitation obtained from the melting of Ti and C powders, instead of TiC powders. The hardness of the surface composite layer was about two times higher than that of the AISI 304 substrate mainly due to the precipitation of TiC carbides.     

Rebuilding of metal components with laser cladding forming

Laser cladding forming (LCF) is a novel powerful tool for the repairing of metal components. Rebuilding of V-grooves on medium carbon steel substrates has been carried out with laser cladding forming technique using stainless steel powder as the cladding material. Microstructure of the deposited layers has been characterized using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDAX), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Mechanical properties of the rebuilt V-groove samples have been evaluated by tensile and impacting tests and microhardness measurement. Experimental results show that good fusion bonding between the rebuilt layers and the substrate has been formed, and the microstructure of the cladding layers is mainly composed of fine, dense and defect-free epitaxial columnar dendrites. Due to the effect of grain size refinement, the tensile strength, impacting toughness, elongation and microhardness of the rebuilt samples have been greatly enhanced compared to those of the substrate. Microhardness is also very uniform throughout the rebuilt regions. With the growth of the deposited layers, the microhardness increases gradually. The good ductility of the deposited regions is verified by the SEM fracture analysis.

Laser induction hybrid rapid cladding of WC particles reinforced NiCrBSi composite coatings

In order to investigate the microstructure characteristics and properties of Ni-based WC composite coatings containing a relatively large amount of WC particles by laser induction hybrid rapid cladding (LIHRC) and compare to the individual laser cladding without preheating, Ni60A + 35 wt.% WC composite coatings are deposited on A3 steel plates by LIHRC and the individual laser cladding without preheating. The composite coating produced by the individual laser cladding without preheating exhibits many cracks and pores, while the smooth composite coating without cracks and pores is obtained by LIHRC. Moreover, the cast WC particles take on the similar dissolution characteristics in Ni60A + 35 wt.% WC composite coatings by LIHRC and the individual laser cladding without preheating. Namely, the completely dissolved WC particles interact with Ni-based alloy solvent to precipitate the blocky and herringbone carbides, while the partially dissolved WC particles still preserve the primary lamellar eutectic structure. A few WC particles are split at the interface of WC and W₂C, and then interact with Ni-based alloy solvent to precipitate the lamellar carbides. Compared with the individual laser cladding without preheating, LIHRC has the relatively lower temperature gradient and the relatively higher laser scanning speed. Therefore, LIHRC can produce the crack-free composite coating with relatively higher microhardness and relatively more homogeneous distribution of WC particles and is successfully applied to strengthen the corrugated roller, showing that LIHRC process has a higher efficiency and good cladding quality.     

Microstructure and wear behavior of γ/Al4C3/TiC/CaF2 composite coating on γ-TiAl intermetallic alloy prepared by Nd:YAG laser cladding

As a further step in obtaining high performance elevated temperature self-lubrication anti-wear composite coatings on TiAl alloy, a novel Ni-P electroless plating method was adopted to encapsulate the as-received CaF₂ in the preparation of precursor NiCr-Cr₃C₂-CaF₂ mixed powders with an aim to decrease its mass loss and increase its compatibility with the metal matrix during a Nd:YAG laser cladding. The microstructure of the coating was examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and the friction and wear behavior of the composite coatings sliding against the hardened 0.45% C steel ring was evaluated using a block-on-ring wear tester at room temperature. It was found that the coating had a unique microstructure consisting of primary dendrites TiC and block Al₄C₃ carbides reinforcement as well as fine isolated spherical CaF₂ solid lubrication particles uniformly dispersed in the NiCrAlTi (γ) matrix. The good friction-reducing and anti-wear abilities of the laser clad composite coating was suggested to the Ni-P electroless plating and the attendant reduction of mass loss of CaF₂ and the increasing of it's wettability with the NiCrAlTi (γ) matrix during the laser cladding process.     

Enhanced diamond nucleation on copper substrates by graphite seeding and CO2 laser irradiation

Diamond nucleation on copper (Cu) substrates was investigated by graphite seeding and CO₂ laser irradiation at initial stages of the combustion-flame deposition. A graphite aerosol spray was used to generate a thin layer of graphite powders (less than 1 μm) on Cu substrates. The graphite-seeded Cu substrates were then heated by a continuous CO₂ laser to about 750 °C within 1 min. It was found that diamond nucleation density after this treatment was more than three times as much as that on the virgin Cu substrates. As a consequence, diamond films up to 4 μm were obtained in 5 min. The enhancement of diamond nucleation on the graphite-seeded Cu substrates was attributed to the formation of defects and edges during the etching of the seeding graphite layers by the OH radicals in the flame. The defects and edges served as nucleation sites for diamond formation. The function of the CO₂ laser was to rapidly heat the deposition areas to create a favorable temperature for diamond nucleation and growth.     

High resolution electron microscopy of precipitates in high Co-Ni alloy steel

In the secondary hardening reaction in ultrahigh strength steel of high Co-Ni alloy, the needle-shaped precipitating carbide is the main strengthening phase. Particular attention has been paid to the nucleation, growth and coarsening of the precipitate and its interface with the ferrite matrix. High resolution transmission electron microscopy observations show that when tempered at a low temperature condition of 454 degrees C for 5h, the precipitating carbides begin to nucleate in the form of clusters; at peak hardening tempered at 482 degrees C, the growing carbides are fully coherent with the matrix, exhibit black-white contrast in bright-field images and have their own hexagonal crystalline structure as M(2)C. Coarsening carbides tempered at high temperature lost their coherence and exhibited Moiré fringes. Lattice images directly indicate the crystallographic relationship of M(2)C carbides and ferrite, [100](alpha)//[1101](beta), [100](alpha)//[1120](beta).     

Surface characterization and growth mechanism of laminated Ti3SiC2 crystals fabricated by hot isostatic pressing

Laminated Ti₃SiC₂ crystals were prepared by hot isostatic pressing from Ti, Si, C and Al powders with NaCl additive in argon at 1350 °C. The morphology and microstructure of Ti₃SiC₂ crystals were investigated by means of XRD, SEM, and TEM. The high symmetry and crystalline was revealed by high resolution transmission electronic microscope (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The growth mechanism of Ti₃SiC₂ crystals controlled by two-dimensional nucleation was put forward. The growth pattern of layered steps implies that the growth of the (0 0 2) face should undergo two steps, the intermittent two-dimensional nucleation and the continuous lateral spreading of layers on growth faces.
