Abstract
The aim of this study is to find out whether ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) is capable of having a considerable impact on dry tribological and slurry erosion performance of Ni-based microwave clads. The non-reinforced and Cr7C3 reinforced Ni-based clads were produced using a microwave cladding method. The application of UNSM treatment reduced the surface roughness of the clads. The UNSM-induced effective depth of 200–350 μm refines the grain structure that influences the hardness. Interestingly, the effectiveness of UNSM treatment was weakened for the non-reinforced clad in dry tribology, whereas similar results were obtained for the reinforced clad in slurry erosion testing. Wear and slurry erosion mechanisms were comprehensively discussed based on the worn-out surface characterizations.
