Abstract
In this study, using laser cladding technology, three different coatings with varying contents of spherical tungsten boride (WB) were completed on the EH40 steel substrate. These coatings included the Co coating, Co+15%WB coating, and Co+45%WB coating. The electrochemical corrosion performance of these three coatings was investigated in a low-temperature environment. The findings indicated that the phases present in the WB-reinforced Co-based coatings are mostly Cr23C6 and Cr7C3, WB, and WO3, as well as γ-Co. The study showed that as the amount of tungsten boride in the coatings rose, their corrosion resistance increased and gradually dropped. Among them, the Co+15%WB coating exhibited the best corrosion resistance in a neutral solution. In the low-temperature (–20°C) immersion test, the main corrosion products for the Co+45%WB coating in simulated seawater solution were Co(OH)2 and Co3O4, along with the presence of WO2 and WO3 oxides. Overall, the spherical tungsten boride coatings significantly enhanced the corrosion resistance of the EH40 steel substrate, providing an effective approach to improving the steel’s performance in low-temperature environments.
期刊介绍:
Strength of Materials focuses on the strength of materials and structural components subjected to different types of force and thermal loadings, the limiting strength criteria of structures, and the theory of strength of structures. Consideration is given to actual operating conditions, problems of crack resistance and theories of failure, the theory of oscillations of real mechanical systems, and calculations of the stress-strain state of structural components.
