Effect of V content on microstructure and properties of laser cladding Fe-Cr alloy coatings
-
摘要: 采用激光熔覆技术制备了不同V含量的铁铬合金涂层,结合金相观察、SEM & EDS、X-射线衍射等分析方法研究了V含量变化时激光熔覆铁铬合金涂层的显微组织与性能的变化规律。结果表明,V含量较低时铁铬合金涂层以树枝晶生长模式为主,涂层界面的树枝晶生长过程中Cr元素来不及完全固溶到基体中,引起基体衍射峰向高角度处偏移。增加V含量能够促进树枝晶向胞状晶转变,有效改善了Cr元素在基体中不能完全固溶的现象。VC的形成促进了凝固过程中γ-Fe向马氏体的转变,涂层硬度提升,但当V含量增加到2%时,原料中高熔点钒铁含量增加,导致涂层中气孔缺陷增加,引起涂层耐磨性能降低。当V含量为1%时涂层性能最佳。Abstract: Iron-chromium alloy coatings with varying V content were fabricated using laser cladding. The microstructural and performance variations of the laser-cladded iron-chromium alloy coatings with different V contents were investigated using metallographic observation, SEM & EDS, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The results indicate that at lower V content, the iron-chromium alloy coating predominantly exhibits a dendritic growth mode. At the coating interface, the dendritic grew rapidly, Cr elements do not have sufficient time to completely dissolve into the matrix, causing the matrix diffraction peaks to shift to higher angles. Increasing V content promotes the transition from dendritic to cellular growth, effectively improving the incomplete dissolution of Cr elements in the matrix and leading to a more uniform coating structure. The formation of VC promotes the transformation of γ-Fe to martensite during solidification, and the hardness of the coating increases. However, when the V content increases to 2%, the ferrovanadium content with a higher melting point increases, resulting in an increase in pore defects, which makes the wear resistance of the coating decrease. When the V content in the coating is 1 %, the hardness and wear resistance are the best.
