Abstract
In this study, a Rockit® 401 coating was deposited on the surface of 1Cr17Ni2 stainless steel using the laser-cladding method to enhance its comprehensive performance, and its microstructure and mechanical properties were comprehensively investigated. The results showed that the coating mainly comprised martensite, retained austenite, and eutectic phases (ferrite, Cr2B, and (Cr,Fe)23C6). Additionally, substructures, such as high-density dislocations, stacking faults, and twins, were observed in the coating. The combined effects of solid solution, second-phase, substructure, and fine-grain strengthening significantly improved the mechanical properties of the coating. Notably, the average microhardness of the coating was approximately 1.26 times that of the substrate. The wear rate and wear volume (1.32 × 10-7 mm3N-1mm−1 and 0.816 mm3, respectively) were significantly lower than those of the substrate (4.51 × 10-7 mm3N-1mm−1 and 2.79 mm3). Characterization of the worn surface revealed that the coating involved three wear mechanisms: adhesive wear, abrasive wear, and oxidative wear. Furthermore, the laser-clad remanufactured specimens exhibited satisfactory tensile properties. The average tensile strength of specimens prepared using two laser-cladding strategies ( and directions) were 100.4 % and 99.4 % of the substrate, respectively. Fracture analysis revealed that the coating mainly underwent intergranular brittle fracture, while the substrate mainly exhibited micro-void coalescence fracture.
