Abstract

Abstract Multi-layer Zr 65 Al 7.5 Ni 10 Cu 17.5 amorphous coatings were produced by laser solid forming on A283 substrate. The coatings with few pores and free of cracks had good metallurgical bonding with the substrate. The microstructural characterization, phase composition, chemical component distribution and corrosion behavior of the coatings were investigated. The results revealed that the amorphization degree increased from the substrate to the coating surface mainly due to the dilution and stir influence from the melted substrate. In the five layers coating, the volume fraction of amorphous phase in the 5th layer, 3rd layer and 1st layer was about 77%, 64% and 49% respectively. With regard to corrosion property, potentiodynamic polarization plots, Nyquist plots and the equivalent circuits were employed in 3.5 wt% sodium chloride solution. Attributing to the presence of amorphous phase and passivation, the LSF coatings exhibit excellent corrosion resistance.
