Abstract
ABSTRACT Ni–Cu composite coatings have been fabricated on a 6061 aluminium alloy surface using a pulsed Nd-YAG laser. The basic coating was Ni–Cu powder with a Ni:Cu ratio of 4:1. The effects of adding to this powder 0.9 wt.% CeO2, 0.9 wt.% Si and 0.9 wt.% Co on the microstructure, microhardness and wear properties of the coatings have been investigated. The results show that, on adding the CeO2, Si or Co powders, the microstructure of the top region of the coating is mainly composed of equiaxed grains, dendritic crystals and fine equiaxed crystals, whereas the bottom region mainly consists of long rod-like, dendritic crystals and some particles. The average microhardness of the 99.1 wt.% Ni–Cu + 0.9 wt.% CeO2 coating is 529.05 HV, which was about four times higher than that of the bare 6061 aluminium alloy. In addition, the average friction coefficient decreased on adding CeO2, Si and Co powder to the Ni–Cu composite coating.
期刊介绍:
Philosophical Magazine Letters is the rapid communications part of the highly respected Philosophical Magazine, which was first published in 1798. Its Editors consider for publication short and timely contributions in the field of condensed matter describing original results, theories and concepts relating to the structure and properties of crystalline materials, ceramics, polymers, glasses, amorphous films, composites and soft matter. Articles emphasizing experimental, theoretical and modelling studies on solids, especially those that interpret behaviour on a microscopic, atomic or electronic scale, are particularly appropriate.
Manuscripts are considered on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Philosophical Magazine Letters , that they have not been published already, and that they are not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
