Abstract
In this work, a 10Ni-WC/NiCrBSi composite coating was fabricated on a Q235 substrate by using vacuum brazing. The bonding strength, surface hardness and corrosion behavior of the coating were characterized by using shearing, a Vickers hardness test and an electrochemical measurement. The results showed that the bonding strength was 365.1 MPa and that the surface hardness of the coating reached nearly 2500 HV, which was ten times that of the Q235 substrate. The corrosion trend of the coating was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization curves. The results showed that the electrochemical system of the coating was a chargetransfer control system with a passive behavior. Combined corrosion micro-morphology and the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) showed that the 10Ni-WC/NiCrBSi composite coating had superior corrosion resistance, but the pitting corrosion resistance of the coating was poor. In addition, after corrosion, the hard phase particles inside the coating were shown not to fail. The corrosion resistance of the vacuum-cladded 10Ni-WC/NiCrBSi coating was obtained.
