Abstract
During laser cladding, the in-situ synthesis of ceramic particles in the coatings can further enhance the performance of the coatings. However, current research lacks a method to predict and optimize the in-situ synthesized composite coatings. Therefore, in this paper, laser power, scanning speed, powder feeding speed, overlap rate, and the content of Ti and B4C mixed powder were used as experimental factors to optimize the powder utilization, surface flatness, and microhardness of the coatings. The random forest optimized by the osprey optimization algorithm was used as the predictive model and the unified non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm III was used for optimization. The microhardness of the optimized coatings was enhanced due to the in-situ synthesized TiB2/TiC particles, and the particles were dispersed within the composite coating. The powder utilization of the composite coating under the optimum process parameters was 72.18%, the surface flatness was 81.96% and the microhardness was 712.3 HV1.0. The relative errors were all lower than 3%, and the hardness was 5.76% higher than that of the substrate. Therefore, this method can provide a reference for the optimization of process parameters for in-situ synthesized composite coatings.
