Crack mitigation and wear performance of high-strength steel coatings deposited by high-speed laser cladding
This study investigates the fabrication of defect-free Rockit® 606, a high‑carbon, vanadium- and chromium-enriched precipitation-hardening martensitic steel coating, using high-speed laser cladding (HSLC). Compared to conventional laser cladding, HSLC offers higher deposition efficiency, improved coating quality, minimal thermal distortion, and a reduced heat-affected zone. Various HSLC parameters—including laser power, travel speed, powder feed rate, and overlap distance—were optimized to achieve superior coating properties.
Microstructural analysis revealed solidification cracks in coatings deposited on carburized steel, regardless of processing parameters. However, preheating the substrate to 250 °C effectively eliminated cracking by reducing thermal gradients. The coatings exhibited a columnar dendritic microstructure, with coarser dendrites near the substrate and finer dendrites towards the surface. Hardness measurements confirmed that all coatings significantly exceeded the industry-specified threshold of 60 HRC, with preheating having minimal effect on overall hardness distribution.
Reciprocating sliding wear tests demonstrated a substantial improvement in wear resistance for the defect-free HSLC coatings compared to baseline carburized steel. These findings underscore the potential of HSLC for producing high-performance, wear-resistant coatings suitable for industrial applications.
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.
