Application of Laser Additive Enhancing Technology in the Field of Cutting Tools

Abstract:

Fe62 alloy coating was fabricated on the surface of #45 steel cutting edges with 2kW all-solid-state laser and powder feeding device. The substrate and forming layer are characterized by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope for microstructure, and tested by micro-hardness tester for micro-hardness. The results show that the forming layer combined with the substrate metallurgically. The microstructure of substrate is eutectoid ferrite and pearlite. The microstructure of layer is uniform and compact, with hard precipitation. The content of Cr, the hard phase generated element, at the grain boundary, is higher than that of grain inside and many hard phases were generated at the grain boundary. Compared with the substrate, the micro-hardness of forming layer increases by about 2 times. All these results show that application of laser additive enhancing technology in the field of cutting tools has larger potential.
