Nanostructure WC composite coatings were prepared on surface of Q235 steel by argon arc cladding injection using microstructure WC feeding which were prepared by nanostructure WC powder. The microstructure of the coating were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Phase of the coating were analyzed by energy dispersive spectrometer and X-Ray diffract meter, moreover, microhardness and wear resistance were texted by Microhardness tester (HVST-1000) and friction wear testing machine (MMS-2A). The results show that the combination of coating and substrate is metallurgical bonding. and no Pores and cracks were founded in bonding area. aggregated nanostructure WC particles and nanostructure WC particles uniformly distributed in the coating. The maximum hardness of the coating is 1461 HV. Compared with the Q235 steel, the wear resistance of the coating increased about 15 times.
In order to overcome the occurrence of insufficient oxidation reaction, high temperature oxidation resistance (ZrB2-SiC)/Si composite coating was fabricated on the surface of graphite electrode by argon arc cladding, process using the Si, Zr and B4C power blends. The microstructure and phase composition of the clad layer were researched by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The result shows that the coating consist of ZrB2 and SiC particles, The combination of the cladding layer and the graphite matrix results in kind of a continuous interface without visible defects. As the result of burning 60 min at 1573K, the oxidation weightlessness rate is 0.62%.
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.
