Abstract

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of different heat treatment routes on the microstructure and sliding wear resistance of Inconel 718 alloy deposited by laser cladding on an AISI 316 L stainless steel substrate. Three heat treatment conditions were tested: double aged, solubilized and double aged, and homogenized, solubilized and double aged. These conditions were compared between each other and the as built samples. Both as built and double aged conditions presented a dendritic microstructure. The solubilized and double aged samples exhibited a recrystallized characteristic, however still containing a dendritic structure. While the homogenized, solubilized and double aged samples reveled equiaxial grains with the total replacement of the dendrites. Regarding the top and cross-section hardness, the heat-treated claddings were superior (about 65% higher) when compared to the as built condition. The friction coefficient for all conditions were statistically equal, however the solubilized and double aged and homogenized, solubilized and double aged conditions showed better results of wear loss (about 25% lower) when compared to the as built condition, whereas the double aged condition displayed statistically equal results in relation to the others. The wear mechanisms were predominantly adhesive for the as built conditions, adhesive and abrasive for the double aged and mostly abrasive for the solubilized and double aged and homogenized, solubilized and double aged samples. The results presented confirmed the need for heat treatment to improve the hardness of the coating and, in addition, it can be concluded that the different heat treatment routes did not have significant impacts on wear resistance. Therefore, from the conditions tested in this study it is possible to assume that the double aged route is the most suitable, for the point of view of wear resistance.
