Meanwhile, modifying some substrates with dissimilar materials is challenging due to a mismatch in material properties. Moreover, individual alloy coatings on substrates are usually insufficient in the required material properties, leading to accelerated failure of equipment, especially in power plant industries. This article summarised the knowledge base on functionally graded materials (FGMs) while emphasising how this promising class of novel materials can reduce deterioration. Additionally, laser cladding is established to be a suitable technique for processing FGMs. A particular focus is laid on the laser beam interaction with the FGM and expounding on the processing and material parameters that affect the microstructural properties of FGMs. The development prospects for processing FGMs with superior clad quality characteristics to increase boiler pipes’ service life and performance are also highlighted.","PeriodicalId":21995,"journal":{"name":"Surface Engineering","volume":"39 1","pages":"677 - 721"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46473129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that multilayer CrN/TC4 has a higher critical failure load (63.4 N > 29.7 N), lower maximum tensile stress (103.8 GPa < 134.3 GPa), and a higher ratio of plastic to elastic deformation work (Wp/We, 2.11 > 1.58) than a single layer CrN/TC4. This indicates that the energy absorption ability of the coating/substrate before failure can be improved by increasing the loose energy-absorbing sublayer, thus improving the coating/substrate adhesion. Notably, the wear rate of both multilayer and single-layer coatings is in the order of 10−16 m3/(N·m), demonstrating their excellent wear resistance.

Results show that WC grain size of WC-6Co substrate is smaller, correspondingly the grain size of each layer in Coating-6Co is smaller, and the surface roughness is lower. Compared with Coating-7Co, Coating-6Co exhibits higher hardness, better plastic deformation capability, better oxidation resistance, lower friction coefficient and better short-period wear resistance. However, because of higher residual tensile stress and lower adhesion strength, the long-period wear resistance of Coating-6Co is worse than Coating-7Co conversely. To make good use of Coating-6Co, some post-deposition treatment techniques that can reduce residual tensile stress and improve adhesion strength should be considered.","PeriodicalId":21995,"journal":{"name":"Surface Engineering","volume":"39 1","pages":"722 - 737"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46590738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the chemically aggressive nature of MgCl2·H2O, aluminium enhancers can be negatively affected during working cycles. PEO was proposed to overcome corrosion issues in the units. Cast samples, coated with PEO for a short time in KOH-Na2SiO3 electrolyte, were subjected to a molten MgCl2·H2O environment.

The cyclic oxidation behaviour at 800 °C for 30 twenty-two-hour cycles was investigated. The characterisation of the structure of coatings was carried out through the use of scanning microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The coatings have excellent resistance to cyclic oxidation, resulting from the gradient structure and the establishment of a protective alumina layer on the surface. The coatings were characterised by good resistance to thermal shocks.

The VCC was found to be amorphous, composed by closely packed particles rich in vanadium oxides/hydroxides. Corrosion resistance was evaluated by linear polarization resistance, Tafel extrapolation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Such conversion coating provided an optimum corrosion performance for steel substrates immersed in sulphates and chlorides rich solutions.
