Abstract
In order to investigate the influence of ultrasonic vibration (UV) on microstructural evaluation of amorphous coating, the Fe-based amorphous (Fe41.5Co12.2Cr7.4Mo37.3C0.3B0.5Y0.4Al0.4) coatings with and without UV were fabricated by laser cladding technology. The microstructure and corrosion resistance of the coatings were studied in detail to understand the mechanism of the UV on amorphous coatings. It can be found that the cavitation effect generated by UV refines and breaks the columnar crystals at the interface. Compared to the coatings without UV, the average length of columnar crystals of coatings with UV decreases by 57.52 %, reducing from 25.26 ± 5.89 μm to 10.73 ± 3.91 μm. In addition, the sound pressure gradient drives the accelerated flow of the molten pool, resulting in a flow velocity of up to 0.134 m/s. The acoustic streaming effect of UV promotes the uniform distribution of elements and inhibits the segregation of the intermetallic compounds, which increases the amorphous content from 68.5 % to 75.3 %. The acoustic streaming and cavitation effects refine the microstructure and increase the amorphous content by using of UV, which contributes to improve the corrosion resistance.
