Abstract
This article presents research results related to microstructural changes in modified flame-sprayed DURMAT 61-PTA (NiFeSiB + WC/W2C) coating by introducing additional Metco 15E (NiCrFeBSiC) sublayers into the coating system with next laser remelting. This modification aimed to increase the adhesion of the large, high-melting and hard tungsten carbides to the substrate material and to facilitate and control the laser remelting of the coating. The modified coating was subjected to microstructural analysis regarding chemical and phase composition and hardness assessment. It was shown that the hardness of the layered (modified) coating after the laser melting process increased significantly, exceeding the additivity rules for mixtures. This suggests a noticeable synergy effect related to the mutual influence of both input materials. The research indicates that the effect responsible for the increase in hardness to approximately 61 HRC was the generation of tungsten borides as an essential strengthening phase. The probable in-situ formation of boride phases results from the primary dissolution of tungsten carbides in the matrix and the secondary formation of tungsten borides of various types. The observed synergistic effect is the essential benefit of using the above-mentioned technological concept of layered coatings, which is proposed to facilitate the preparation of technologically challenging coatings containing many phases based on tungsten carbide.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials (IJRMHM) publishes original research articles concerned with all aspects of refractory metals and hard materials. Refractory metals are defined as metals with melting points higher than 1800 °C. These are tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, tantalum, niobium, hafnium, and rhenium, as well as many compounds and alloys based thereupon. Hard materials that are included in the scope of this journal are defined as materials with hardness values higher than 1000 kg/mm2, primarily intended for applications as manufacturing tools or wear resistant components in mechanical systems. Thus they encompass carbides, nitrides and borides of metals, and related compounds. A special focus of this journal is put on the family of hardmetals, which is also known as cemented tungsten carbide, and cermets which are based on titanium carbide and carbonitrides with or without a metal binder. Ceramics and superhard materials including diamond and cubic boron nitride may also be accepted provided the subject material is presented as hard materials as defined above.
