The Wear Behavior of the Laser Cladded Ti-Al-Si Composite Coatings on Ti-6Al-4V Alloy with Additional TiC.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the Ti-Al-Si + xTiC (x = 0, 2, 6, 10 wt.%) composite coatings, each with a different content of TiC were fabricated on a Ti-6Al-4V alloy by laser surface cladding. The microstructure of the prepared coatings was analyzed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microhardness and the wear resistance of these coatings were also evaluated. The results show that α-Ti, Ti3Al, Ti5Si3, TiAl3, TiAl, Ti3AlC2 and TiC particles can be found in the composites. The microstructure can obviously be refined by increasing the content of TiC particles, while the microhardness increases and the coefficient of friction decreases. The Ti-Al-Si-6TiC composite shows the best wear resistance, owing to its relatively fine microstructure and high content of TiC particles. The microhardness of this coating is 5.3 times that of the substrate, while the wear rate is only 0.43 times. However, when the content of TiC was up to 10 wt.%, the original TiC could not be dissolved completely during the laser cladding process, leading to formation of cracks on the coatings.

Project description:This study investigated the metallurgical, mechanical properties and quality of coatings fabricated by direct laser metal deposition (DLMD) on Ti-6Al-4V, which were affected by the DLMD optimized process parameters. A 3-kW continuous wave ytterbium laser system (YLS) attached to a KUKA robot was used for the process. An analysis was conducted to determine the quality of the coatings in terms of hardness and wear resistance. Variables such as the time of interlayer deposition, thickness of the substrate, the initial temperature of the substrate, and the number of deposited layers were also investigated. The independent/collective effect that each process parameter had on the metallurgical and mechanical properties of the deposited Ti-6Al-4V were made clear when the processing parameters were varied. Minute pores/defects that significantly affect the metallurgical and mechanical properties of clads were also identified. The results obtained from the designed experiments showed that the depth of Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) was inversely proportional to the thickness of the substrate; as the thickness of the substrate was increased, the HAZ depth decreased. Moreover, the intensity of the laser power also affects the HAZ depth. In addition, it was discovered that the initial conditions of the substrate at room temperature also affected the coatings in relation to pre-heated conditions. The analysis conducted in identifying and quantifying the porosity showed indication that the factors such as scanning speed, laser power and powder feed rate had a predominant influence on the porosity. The grain form and structure as well as the mechanical properties of the cladded layer were significantly affected by the optimized process parameters of DLMD process. The parameters investigated had a significant impact on the hardness and wear resistance performance. Furthermore, the results revealed that the highest hardness of one of the coatings was 1.97-times the substrate which had a hardness value of 302 HV. The outstanding wear resistance performance of Al-Si-Sn-Cu/Ti-6Al-4V composite coating is attributed to major hard intermetallic phases.
