Abstract:

Wear is a common problem for engineering components subjected to dynamic loading. Surface modification is mostly applied to reduce the wear. An exploratory research is conducted to form a composite coating on AISI 4340 steel surfaces by incorporating a mixture of TiC and hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) particulates using powder placement and TIG torch melting techniques. Initial results show the evidence of TiC incorporation in all tracks but the presence of h-BN is limited in a few tracks. However, processing conditions are identified that can produce composite coatings incorporating both TiC and h-BN particulates. The melt microstructure consists of a small amount of un-melted TiC and h-BN, partially melted TiC particulates with eutectic structure containing precipitated TiC and TiB2 particles. Hardness of the coating is found to fluctuate along the melt depth. However, the maximum hardness of the coating is about 3 times the base hardness of 250 HV.
