采用HL-5000型横流CO2激光加工机在TC4钛合金表面激光熔覆TiC+Ti和TiC+Ti+F102复合涂层。通过SEM、EDAX、XRD、HXD-1000TMC型显微硬度计,HT-600型高温摩擦磨损试验机,分析了熔覆层的显微组织、成分、物相,测试了激光熔覆层的显微硬度和滑动摩擦磨损性能。结果表明,激光熔覆制备的TiC复合涂层与基体呈冶金结合,在TiC+Ti激光熔覆层中,熔覆层的组织是在Ti基体上分布着TiC树枝晶;在TiC+Ti+F102激光熔覆层中,TiC颗粒发生了部分溶解,熔覆层的组织是在Ti基和γ-Ni基的基体上分布着细小的TiC颗粒和TiC树枝晶。TiC+Ti激光熔覆层的硬度约为700 HV0.1,TiC+Ti+F102激光熔覆层的硬度约为800 HV0.1,两种复合涂层耐磨性均比TC4钛合金显著提高。
The laser cladding TiC + Ti and TiC + Ti + F102 composite coating on the surfact of TC4 alloy was obtained with 5.0 kW continuous wave CO2 laser. The microstructure,composition and phase of the coating were investigated hy means of SEM, EDAX, XRD, HXD-1000TMC Microhardness Tester, HT-600 wear machine Moreover, the microhardness and friction wear properties was measured. The results indicate that the laser cladding TiC composite coating is well bonded with the matrix alloy. The microstructures of TiC dendrites in Ti matrix in the clad layer of TiC + Ti laser clad coating. For TiC + Ti + F102 laser clad coating, parts of TiC particles are dissolved to form a mierostructures of TiC particles and fine TiC dendrites in the matrix of Ti and y-Ni in the clad layer. The microhardness of TiC + Ti coating is 700 HV0.1. The mierohardness of TiC + Ti + F102 coating is 800 HV01, and the coating greatly enhances the wear resistantce of TC4 titanium alloy.
