Growth morphology and mechanism of primary TiC carbide in laser clad TiC/FeAl composite coating

TiC-reinforced FeAl intermetallic matrix composite (IMC) coatings were fabricated on substrate of 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel using laser cladding. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the phases in the laser clad composite coating and the growth morphologies of TiC carbide were observed by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results showed that there are two phases in the laser clad composite coating: TiC and FeAl intermetallic matrix alloy. The primary TiC carbide in laser clad coating nucleates heterogeneously on the surface of oxide particles; its growth morphology is found to be in a unique radial-branching dendrite with strongly faceted feature. The growth mechanism of TiC is confirmed to be lateral growth from the ledges or steps existing on the growing fronts.

Microstructural studies and wear assessments of Ti/TiC surface composite coatings on commercial pure Ti produced by titanium cored wires and TIG process

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) process and titanium cored wires filled with micro size TiC particles were employed to produce surface composite coatings on commercial pure Ti substrate for wear resistance improvement. Wire drawing process was utilized to produce several cored wires from titanium strips and titanium carbide powders. Subsequently, these cored wires were melted and coated on commercial pure Ti using TIG process. This procedure was repeated at different current intensities and welding travel speeds. Composite coating tracks were found to be affected by TIG heat input. The microstructural studies using optical and scanning electron microscopy supported by X-ray diffraction showed that the surface composite coatings consisted of α′-Ti, spherical and dendritic TiC particles. Also, greater volume fractions of TiC particles in the coatings were found at lower heat input. A maximum microhardness value of about 1100 HV was measured which is more than 7 times higher than the substrate material. Pin-on-disk wear tests exhibited a better performance of the surface composite coatings than the untreated material which was attributed to the presence of TiC particles in the microstructure.     

Microstructure and wear properties of Fe–TiC surface composite coating by laser cladding

AISI 1045 steel surface was alloyed with pre-placed ferrotitanium and graphite powders by using a 5-kW CO₂ laser. In situ TiC particles reinforced Fe-based surface composite coating was fabricated. The microstructure and wear properties were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction, as well as dry sliding wear test. The results showed that TiC carbides with cubic or flower-like dendritic form were synthesized via in situ reaction between ferrotitanium and graphite in the molten pool during laser cladding process. The TiC carbides were distributed uniformly in the composite coating. The TiC/matrix interface was found to be free from cracks and deleterious phase. The coatings reinforced by TiC particles revealed higher wear resistance than that of the substrate.     

In situ formation of TiC particulate composite layer on cast iron by laser alloying of thermal sprayed titanium coating

Commercial flake graphite cast iron substrate was coated with titanium powder by low pressure plasma spraying and was irradiated with a CO₂ laser to produce the wear resistant composite layer. The macro and microstructural changes of an alloyed layer with the traveling speeds of laser beam, the precipitate morphology of TiC particulate and the hardness profile of the alloyed layer was examined. From the results, it was possible to composite TiC particulate on the surface layer by direct reaction between carbon existed in the cast iron matrix and titanium with thermal sprayed coating by remelting and alloying them using laser irradiation. The cooling rate of the laser remelted cast iron substrate without a titanium coating was about 1 × 10⁴ K/s to 1 × 10⁵ K/s in the order under the condition of this study. The microstructure of the alloyed layer consisted of three zones; the TiC particulate precipitate zone (MHV 400–500), the mixed zone of TiC particulate + ledeburite (MHV 650–900) and the ledeburite zone (MHV 500–700). TiC particulates were precipitated as a typical dendritic morphology. The secondary TiC dendrite arms were grown to a polygonized shape and were necking. Then the separated arms became cubic crystal of TiC at the slowly solidified zone. In the rapidly solidified zone near the fusion boundary, however the fine granular TiC particulates were grouped like grapes.     

Investigating the effect of mixing time on the crystallite size and lattice strain of the AA7075/TiC composites

With numerous reinforcements, aluminum and its alloys are finding growing applications in every sector of industry. Titanium carbide (TiC) is regarded as an outstanding reinforcing material as compared to widely used carbide particles because of its excellent physical and mechanical characteristics, as well as its especially good interfacial bonding (wetting) capacity with aluminum. In the present research work, the effect of the mixing time of the matrix and reinforcement powders has been investigated on the crystallite size and lattice strain of the AA7075–5 wt.% TiC composites. The mechanical properties of the developed composites were also investigated in terms of microhardness values. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), particles size distribution analysis and x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) of the synthesized powder samples were done to see the effect of mixing time on their microstructures. The increase in mixing time led to a homogeneous distribution of 5 wt.% of TiC particles, a decrease in particles clustering. The considerable grain refining was confirmed, which reflected a reduction in particle size originating from a prolonged mixing time. The significant improvement in the crystallite size and microhardness of the produced composites were achieved with increasing mixing time.     

Ni–TiC coating deposited on Ti–6Al–4V substrate by thermal spraying and laser remelting of Ni-clad graphite powder

A process of thermal spraying and laser remelting of a Ni-clad graphite powder to form a coating on Ti–6Al–4V substrate was carried out. A good coating without cracks and pores was obtained. The microstructure of the coating was examined using SEM and EDS. The coating mainly consists of austenitic nickel as matrix and TiC dendrite as reinforcement. During the laser remelting process, a reaction between C and Ti occurred, which lead to an in-situ synthesis of TiC reinforcement in the coating. The microhardness of the coating was measured using a Vickers hardness tester. The average microhardness of the composite coating is HV 1000 and it is two times greater than that of the Ti–6Al–4V substrate.     

Phase investigation in laser surface alloyed steels with TiC

Laser technology enables melting and alloying specimen surfaces without the substrate itself being heated, whereby surfaces with special attributes are obtained with the properties of the substrate remaining unaffected. The surfaces of Armco iron and AISI 1045 steel were laser-alloyed with TiC powder, a CO₂ laser of 2.5 kW maximum power being used. Optimal laser and powder-feed parameters were established. Particles of TiC were injected into the molten surface layer, forming a composite material, steel + TiC. The microstructures were investigated metallographically. Some of the particles had partially melted during their passage through the laser beam and had re-solidified, forming small and fine dendrites. Phase identification by X-ray diffraction revealed the presence of -Fe, martensite, and Fe₃C phases, as well as amounts of stochiometric TiC and unknown phases. Identification of phases by TEM and diffraction of electrons revealed the presence of unknown phases, such as tetragonal TiC and (FeTi)C. Mössbauer results show ternary Fe-Ti-C phases, which can be related to the TEM and X-ray diffraction results. A correlation was found between the substrate's composition, microstructures, and the different phases present.

Synthesis of Boride Coating on Steel using High Energy Density Processes: Comparative Study of Evolution of Microstructure

Ultrahard titanium diboride (TiB₂) coatings are deposited on plain carbon steel substrate using two high energy density processes, viz. pulsed electrode surfacing (PES) and laser surface engineering (LSE). These two processes are entirely different in physical nature and hence result in dissimilar microstructures. In the present investigation, a comparative study has been made between the evolved microstructures. Both processes produced a surface layer which is adherent and metallurgically bonded to the substrate. PES produced relatively thinner and less uniform coating than LSE process. The PES coating was, however, homogeneous and very fine grained. The laser-assisted coating was “composite” in nature with TiB₂ particles embedded in Fe matrix. Mechanical characterization of these coatings has been performed using microhardness measurements.     

Laser cladding composite coatings by Ni–Cr–Ti–B4C with different process parameters

To investigate the effect of laser process parameters on microstructure and properties of composite coating, the composite coatings were manufactured by laser cladding Ni–Cr–Ti–B₄C mixed powder on Q235 mild steel with different process parameters. The coatings are bonded with the substrate by remarkable metallurgical binding without cracks and pores. The composite coatings are consisted of in situ synthesized solid solution Ni–Cr–Fe, intermetallic compound (IMC) Ni₃Ti, Cr₂Ti, and ceramic reinforcements TiB₂, TiC. Results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the ceramic reinforcements became coarser with higher specific energy (E_s). There were independent ceramics TiB₂, TiC, eutectic ceramic TiB₂–TiC in coatings, and eutectic alloy–ceramic was detected. Compared with the substrate, the microhardness of coatings was increased significantly, and the maximum microhardness of coatings was approximately five times as high as the substrate. The wear resistance of coatings was improved dramatically than the substrate. Compared to the coatings with lower E_s, higher E_s led to lower microhardness and worse wear resistance ascribing to more Fe diffused into the coating from the substrate.
