Abstract

NiCrAl-WC coatings with different WC contents were prepared on AISI H13 steel by laser cladding (LC) to improve its wear resistance at high temperature. The influence of WC content on the microstructure and phases of obtained coatings was analyzed via an ultra-depth microscope (UDM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively; and the tribological performance was investigated using a wear tester. The results show that the hardness of NiCrAl-10%WC, -25%WC, and -40%WC coatings is 444, 492, and 631 HV0.5, respectively. The NiCrAl-WC coatings present excellent wear resistance at high temperature, and the COF and wear rate of NiCrAl -40%WC coating are reduced by 17.8 and 67.5% compared with that of the substrate, respectively. The wear mechanism of NiCrAl-WC coatings is the combination of adhesive wear, abrasive wear, and oxidation wear, in which the NiCrAl-40%WC coating has the best wear resistance due to its high WC content.
