Abstract
The surfaces of cold-sprayed Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) coatings were laser irradiated with different laser powers of 50–200 W to study the effects of Nd:YAG laser surface treatment on their tribological properties. The hardness of the laser-treated Ti64 coatings became higher with higher laser power due to the more rapid cooling caused by a larger temperature difference between the coating temperature and room temperature. The wear of the laser-treated Ti64 coatings tested against 6-mm 100Cr6 steel balls under dry condition at room temperature decreased with increased laser power as a result of their increased surface wear resistance associated with their increased surface hardness. It could be concluded that the laser surface treatment of the cold-sprayed Ti64 coatings improved their surface wear resistance compared to that of the untreated Ti64 coatings.
