Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effect of Y₂O₃ addition on the microstructure, hardness, and corrosion resistance of in-situ NbC reinforced Ni-based coatings prepared by laser cladding. The results have shown that the addition of 1.0 wt.% Y₂O₃ has refined the grains, improved phase uniformity, and increased the coating hardness to 825.12 HV₀.₂, which is 27.1% higher than the coating without Y₂O₃. Electrochemical tests revealed that the corrosion current density has decreased to 2.431 × 10−7 A cm−2 at 1.0 wt.% Y₂O₃, indicating significantly enhanced corrosion resistance. Excessive Y₂O₃ (> 1.0 wt.%) has led to particle agglomeration, grain coarsening, and a reduction in both hardness and corrosion resistance. These findings demonstrate that optimal Y₂O₃ addition can effectively enhance the performance of NbC/Ni-based composite coatings, with potential to extend the service life of components in corrosive environments.
