Abstract
Purpose
Regarding the broadening of the titanium alloy application field, the surface treatment coating of TC4 alloy has become an essential global research topic. This study aims to illustrate the titanium-based composite coating is created by laser cladding TC4+Ni60/hBN composite powder onto the surface of the TC4 alloy.
Design/methodology/approach
Different laser scanning speeds were initially selected to prepare TC4+Ni60/hBN titanium-based composite coating on the surface of TC4 alloy using RFL-C1000 Raycus fiber laser. Second, the cladding layers with different laser scanning speeds are composed of Ti2Ni, TiN0.3, TiC, TiB, α-Ti and other phases. Finally, precision balances, friction and wear testing machines were used to analyze and test the structure, phase, hardness, wear amount and friction coefficient of the composite coating and to study the effect of laser scanning speed on the microstructure and properties of the titanium-based composite coating.
Findings
It is evident that at the low laser scanning speed, the reinforcing phase agglomeration area is distributed in the substrate as a network. Increasing the laser scanning speed can reduce the cladding layer's friction coefficient and improve the cladding layer's hardness and wear resistance. But too high a laser scanning speed will cause defects such as pores and cracks in the cladding layer and also affect the cladding layer. The bonding performance of the layer and the substrate is optimal in this research at a laser scanning speed of 10 mm/s.
Originality/value
This research has practical value in improving the quality of surface treatment coating in modern aerospace and automotive companies.
