“…Laser cladding refers to adding external materials to the molten pool formed with laser irradiation of the substrate, employing synchronous or preset materials and rapid solidification of the two to create a cladding layer [ 258 , 259 , 260 , 261 , 262 ]. The characteristics of laser cladding include: the cladding layer has low dilution but strong bonding force and is metallurgically bonded to the substrate, which can significantly improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, oxidation resistance, and electrical characteristics of the substrate material surface to achieve the purpose of surface modification or repair, meet the specific performance requirements of the material surface, and save a lot of material costs [ 263 , 264 , 265 , 266 , 267 , 268 ].…”

Titanium alloy has the advantages of high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility and is widely used in marine equipment, biomedicine, aerospace, and other fields. However, the application of titanium alloy in special working conditions shows some shortcomings, such as low hardness and poor wear resistance, which seriously affect the long life and safe and reliable service of the structural parts. Tribocorrosion has been one of the research hotspots in the field of tribology in recent years, and it is one of the essential factors affecting the application of passivated metal in corrosive environments. In this work, the characteristics of the marine and human environments and their critical tribological problems are analyzed, and the research connotation of tribocorrosion of titanium alloy is expounded. The research status of surface protection technology for titanium alloy in marine and biological environments is reviewed, and the development direction and trends in surface engineering of titanium alloy are prospected.

The design of the resonant ultrasonic vibration-assisted laser cladding (R-UVALC) setup involved employing finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate the ultrasonic transducer, horn, and workpiece in a resonance state. The impact of R-UVALC on AlCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloys was assessed using various ultrasonic vibration amplitudes of 0, 5, 10, and 15 µm, with a constant frequency of 20 kHz. Ultrasonic vibrations reduced pores and cracks and increased the clad breadth, melt pool wetting angle, and laser-clad layer consistency. The columnar elongated grains in proximity to the substrate surface underwent a size reduction and transformed into grains with a more equiaxed shape with the utilization of ultrasonic vibrations at an amplitude of 5 µm. Laser cladding performed without ultrasonic vibrations yields two phases: face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC). However, when the coating is exposed to ultrasonic vibrations with an amplitude of 5 µm, it forms a solitary body-centered cubic (BCC) phase. The microhardness tripled compared to the substrate, and the most significant microhardness value was achieved at 5 µm of ultrasonic vibration. The friction coefficient was assessed at an ambient temperature, revealing that an ultrasonic amplitude yields the lowest friction coefficient, demonstrating the excellent wear resistance properties of the coating. The analysis of the 3D surface profile of the wear indicates that the use of ultrasonic aid with a 5 µm amplitude leads to reduced depth of scars, and the primary wear mechanism observed is abrasive and oxidative wear with fewer grooves and debris. In addition, XPS analysis revealed the presence of metal components in an oxidized condition, suggesting that the wear process is oxidative in nature. Integrating the R-UVALC setup into a resonance state can significantly enhance the efficiency of the laser cladding process in the laser cladding field.

“…In order to improve the quality of the cladding layer, assisted laser cladding technology has become a new way of laser cladding research. At present, electromagnetic field-assisted, mechanical vibration, ultrasonic vibration, and substrate preheating are mainly used to assist laser cladding technology [15][16][17][18][19]. Among these, substrate preheating is widely favored for its simplicity, environmental friendliness, and low energy consumption.…”

In this study, Fe/TiC composite coating was fabricated on the surface of 65Mn steel using substrate preheating combined with laser cladding technology. In order to characterize the impact of various preheating temperatures, four coatings were fabricated on a 65Mn substrate using laser cladding at different temperatures (ambient temperature, 100 °C, 200 °C, and 300 °C). The microstructures and properties of four Fe/TiC composite coatings were investigated using SEM, XRD, EDS, a Vickers microhardness meter, a wear tester, and an electrochemical workstation. The research results show that the cladding angle of the Fe/TiC composite coating initially increases and then decreases as the substrate preheating temperature rises. The solidification characteristics of the Fe/TiC composite coating structure are not obviously changed at substrate preheating temperatures ranging from room temperature to 300 °C. However, the elemental distribution within the cladding layer was significantly influenced by the preheating temperature. An increase in the preheating temperature led to a more uniform elemental distribution. Regarding the comprehensive properties, including hardness, wear characteristics, and corrosion resistance, the optimum substrate preheating temperature for the cladding layer was found to be 300 °C.
