Abstract
M42 high-speed steel is one of the main materials for preparing bimetallic band saw parts. In this paper, nano-SiC particles of different densities (0–1.00 mg/mm2) were precoated on the surface of M42 high-speed steel samples, then, the samples were prepared by laser alloying. The matching relationship between the quantity, size, and type of martensite and MxCy carbides in laser alloyed samples play a decisive role in improving wear resistance. It is found that under the optimized particle density of 0.75 mg/mm2, compared with M42 high-speed steel, the hardness was increased by 50%, the wear rate decreased by 84.7%. The matching relationship between Martensite and MxCy carbides formed by laser alloying of nano-SiC particles on the improvement of wear resistance was elucidated.
