Abstract
In the present study, Fe–Cr–Ni alloy coatings were produced by laser cladding using the blending powder of Cr and Ni on the surface of T10 steel. The composition of phase and microstructure were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The microhardness and corrosion resistance were investigated. The Fe–Cr–Ni cladding coatings composed of austenites and a few eutectic ferrites. And the content of eutectic ferrite in the grain boundary decreased with the decreasing Cr/Ni ratio of the blending powder. The Creq/Nieq ratio and the ferrite number (FN) of the coatings confirm that the solidification process was the AF mode for the Fe–Cr–Ni cladding coatings. The average microhardness value of Fe–Cr–Ni coatings was about 380HV0.2 and the Cr/Ni ratio of the blending powder was not an obvious effect. The corrosion resistance of Fe–Cr–Ni alloy coatings which was significantly superior to T10 steel decreased with the decreasing Cr/Ni ratio of the blending powder. This research exhibits that the Fe–Cr–Ni coatings and laser cladding processing have a potential engineering application value on hypereutectoid carbon steel.
