Notes:
The high-energy laser melts the cladding materials which coagulate onto the surface ofthe base materials. The laser cladding coatings are produced mainly in two methods: powderfeeding and prefabricating. The grain-strengthening composite coatings could be formed moreeasily by prefabricating method than by powder feeding method. In this paper, Ni/SiC ceramiccomposite coating on carbon steel (45 steel) was made by prefabricating method. Themicrostructure and wear-resistance of Ni/SiC cladding coating on the 45 steel were studied usingscanning electronic microscope (SEM) and wear test. The results showed that the microstructure ofcladding coatings included bonding layer, thermo-affected layer and heat-affected layer after lasercladding. The microstructure of cladding coating was mainly of dendrite and cell-like crystals. Theresultant multilayered coating had excellent adherence with the base steel. The addition of SiCparticles into cladding coatings significantly reinforced the microhardness of laser cladding coating.Compared with Ni60A cladding coating, Ni60A/SiC cladding coating had high microhardness,which was attributed to not only the dispersion intensification effect of the SiC particle, but also bythe new complicated phases. During laser cladding process, SiC particles may decompose anddissolve into the coating and result in solid solution strengthening effect which increases themicrohardness of the composite coatings. The base material and Ni-based laser cladding coatingswith and without SiC were tested to assess the wear-resistance property. The test resultsdemonstrated that the laser cladding coatings had better wear resistance than the base material.Furthermore, the laser cladding coating with SiC particles had higher wear-resistance than thecoating without SiC
