Preparation and Characterization of Nano-SiCP Strengthened MCrAlY Graded Coating by Laser Multi-Layer Cladding

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nano-SiC/MCrAlY graded coating was prepared by laser multi-layer cladding on TiAl base intermetallic alloy using composite MCrAlY powders with 1%, 2%, and 3% nano-SiC particles (mass fraction) in turn. The microstructure and microhardness of the composite coating were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Vickers microhardness tester. The results show that the microstructure of the composite coating was refined and composed of fine equiaxed grains because of addition of nanometer SiC particles, and the crystal size becomes small with increasing the nano-SiC content in the coating. In addition, due to small size and formation heat of the nano-SiC particles, SiC particles decompose and form new carbides in the coating after laser cladding. The hardness of the composite MCrAlY coating is obviously improved due to enhancement of multi-carbide and refinement of structure.
