Diode Laser Surface Alloying of Armor Steel with Tungsten Carbide

Abstract: Metal matrix composite (MMC) surface layers reinforced by WC were fabricated on armor steel ARMOX 500T plates via a laser surface alloying process. The microstructure of the layers was assessed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.The surface layers having the WC fraction up to 71 vol% and an average hardness of 1300 HV were produced. The thickness of these layers was up to 650 μm. The addition of a titanium powder in the molten pool increased the wettability of WC particles by the liquid meta… Show more

“…The laser beam, besides laser welding [8,9,10], is also used e.g. for laser surface melting (LSM) and alloying (LSA) [11,12]. Additionally, the laser beam is also used for hybrid methods combining the beneficial effects of laser beam welding and different arc and plasma welding processes [13].…”

“…Considerable research has been devoted to laser surface modification methods, such as laser surface melting (LSM) and alloying (LSA) processes [3,4]. The LSA currently appears to be a leading method due to mainly altering the surface chemical composition [5,6]. Inherent rapid solidification and cooling involved in laser surface modification processes provide a unique opportunity for non-equilibrium synthesis of novel materials [7].…”

“…The laser technique is becoming more popular. The use of laser beams is also becoming a good option to be used in laser surface melting (LSM) and laser surface alloying (LSA) in addition to laser welding [19][20][21][22][23]. Furthermore, laser beams are also used in combination with other methods, such as different arc and plasma welding processes to create a hybrid in order to achieve the beneficial effect of both processes [24].…”
