Study on Macroscopic Morphology, Microstructure and Hardness of F313 Iron-Based Coatings Prepared by Laser Cladding Using Different Powder Feed Rate

Article Preview

Abstract:

The objective of the present study was to find the influence of powder feed rate on macroscopic morphology, microstructure and hardness of F313 iron-based alloy clad coatings. Controlling powder feed rate can assist with achieving favorable macroscopic morphology, microstructure and hardness. Four different powder feed rate were used in our experiments to prepare clad coatings. The macroscopic morphology, microstructure and hardness were tested using OM, SEM, and Vickers hardness tester. The study founds decreasing powder feed rate is possible to achieve smoother surface, but at the same time thickness of coatings get thinner. Microstructure of cross sections is divided into inter-dendrites eutectic structure and dendritic matrix. In the upper region the microstructure tends to be formed of cellular-like dendrites whereas in the lower region branch-like dendrites tend to form. Hardness decreases with increasing of powder feed rate generally.
