Abstract
This study explores the applicability of the integration of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) with friction surfacing for the fabrication of Ag-bearing stainless steel coatings. The methodology is based on a comparative analysis of the microstructure, hardness, corrosion resistance and antibacterial efficacy of coatings deposited from friction surfacing using LPBFed lattice structured and pre-drilled commercial bars, both filled with the same pre-mixed AISI 316L stainless steel and pure Ag powder. The results indicated that the coatings deposited from both types of consumable bars showed an antibacterial efficacy above 99 %. In addition, the coatings deposited with LPBFed lattice structured consumable bars presented a more uniform distribution of fine Ag particles, reduced grain size, improved hardness and corrosion properties, illustrating the potential of this technique for the fabrication of thick coatings from the metallic materials with low mutual solubility.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
