A series of γ-Ni ss /Mo 2 Ni 3 Si composite coatings were deposited on the hot-rolled 0.45 wt-% C steel plate using DJ-HL-T5000B CO 2 laser system. The microstructure and phase constitution were studied by XRD and SEM with an attached EDS. Microhardness, toughness and dry sliding wear behaviour of the alloy coating were studied. Research results show that all the designed coatings with different compositions are composed of γ-Ni ss and Mo 2 Ni 3 Si. The volume fraction of Mo 2 Ni 3 Si, as well as the average microhardness, shows an increased tendency as the Ni content decreases from 65% to 50%. The addition of γ-Ni ss ductile phase can effectively improve the toughness of Mo 2 Ni 3 Si-based alloy and prevent the spread of the cracks. Furthermore, the wear resistance of laser-cladded γ-Ni ss /Mo 2 Ni 3 Si coatings exhibits a distinct improvement compared with that of the substrate. The wear mass loss and wear mechanism are affected by the volume fraction of Mo 2 Ni 3 Si.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
