Abstract
NiCr/Cr3C2-WS2-CaF2 mixed powders were prepared on 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel substrate to fabricate high-temperature self-lubrication wear resistant composite coating by laser cladding. The microstructure of the coating was examined by means of XRD, SEM and EDS. The high-temperature dry sliding friction and wear behavior of the composite coating were evaluated by using a ball-on-block wear tester at room temperature, 300 and 600 , respectively. The results showed that the composite coating had a unique microstructure consisting of γ-(Ni,Fe) solid solution matrix, Cr7C3/WC reinforcement and CrS/WS2 lubricant particles. The hardness of NiCr/Cr3C2-WS2-CaF2 coating by laser cladding was lower than NiCr/Cr3C2 coating, but higher than stainless steel substrate significantly. It was because of the addition of solid lubricant. In the wear process, elevated temperature was helpful to form a lubricating transfer film. As a result, the NiCr/Cr3C2-WS2-CaF2 coating exhibited a notable anti-friction and wear resistance at 300 and 600 .
