Abstract
Ni-Si alloy coatings with various compositions were fabricated on molybdenum surfaces using laser cladding technology. The sound metallurgical bond without cracks and pores between coatings and substrat was revealed.The microstructure and phase composition of the coatings were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The oxidation resistance of the coatings was investigated in a static air environment at 700 °C. The results reveal that the coatings primarily consist of a γ-Ni solid solution, Ni3Si phase, and Mo2Ni3Si phase. Furthermore, the Mo2Ni3Si phase content increases with decreasing Ni content in the powder ratio. The oxidation kinetics curve of the NiSi alloy coatings follows a parabolic law. The oxide layer formed on the coating surface is uniform and dense, comprising SiO2, MoO3, and NiMoO4. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the microstructure of the oxide layer, the Ni90Si10 coating demonstrated superior oxidation resistance
