Abstract
To repair the damages of aero blades, laser cladding on GH710 substrate using NiCrMoNb powder by CO2 laser was carried out. The microstructure and microhardness of cladding layers were investigated. The property of dry sliding friction and wear in the air was tested. It was found that the cladding layer was well combined with the substrate. The white narrow metallurgical bonding zone was about 15~20μm. The microstructure transformed from coarse columnar grains to fine dendritic grains from bottom to top and the net-like grains were fabricated on the surface. The axis of columnar grains was perpendicular to the direction of the melting line. Columnar grains had the scale of 10~15μm on the width and 50~60μm in the axis direction. The area of the crystal lattice varied from 2μm×4μm to 5μm×9μm. The microhardness of cladding layer, metallurgical bonding zone and the substrate changed gradually. The microhardness was 450HV, 40%~50% higher than that of the substrate. The wearing capacity was 50%~55% of that of the substrate. The main form of abrasion was grain-abrasion and adhesion-abrasion.
