On Nanomodification of Coating Obtained by Laser Cladding of Composite Powder 12NVK-01

Abstract

The results of an experimental study of the effect of nanomodifying additives on the structure and mechanical properties of a multilayer coating during laser surfacing of a composite powder with a strengthening phase are presented. As a surfacing material, nickel powder 12NVK -01 with a strengthening phase of tungsten carbide was used, and as a modifying additive was a mixture of nanosized refractory powders of titanium nitride and yttrium oxide clad with iron and chromium. It is established that the deposited coating represents a complex system of phases formed during the melting and interaction of the chemical elements of the substrate and the melted powder mixture. The main component of the coating is the combination of nickel with iron and chromium of the type Ni3(Fe,Cr). In the melting process, a partial decomposition of the strengthening phase occurs, depending on the concentration of the nanomodifier. In the case considered, the optimum amount of the modifying additive providing the maximum hardness and wear resistance increase of the composite coatings of the Ni-Cr-B-Si-Fe / WC system is 0.1% by mass of the refractory TiN+Y[2]O[3] nanopowder additive in the composite material.
