Abstract

The paper presents the results of laboratory tests of test specimens produced by multi-layer laser padding alloy Stellit Co-6 powder on a substrate with heat-treated X22CrMoV12-1 alloy steel. Multilayer laser padding was performed on a TRUMPF TruLaser Cell 3008. The formed weld overlays surface was studied using an optical microscope. Selected usable properties, such as surface topography, microstructure, hardness and erosion resistance were studied. During the analysis, areas of cross-sections test specimens after multilayer laser padded, in the connection zone of the substrate material with weld overlay, no cracks and no discontinuities in weld overlay were found in the substrate. As a result of conducted experiments, regular, repetitive weld overlays with characteristic directional crystallization were obtained. A microstructure with different growth directions with respect to the surface of the substrate shaped coniferous dendrites was obtained. The hardness of the weld overlays was in the range from 420 to 620 HV0.1, and in the heat affected zone, in the range of 320 to 420 HV0.1. Significant increases in erosion resistance of the surface layer of Stellite type Co-6 weld overlay produced by laser in comparison with the parent material after hardening were found.
