Laser Remelting of Silicide Coatings on Mo and TZM Alloy

Abstract:

Characterization of top surface and microstructure of silicide coatings obtained during diffusion process of pack cementation type and laser remelting treatments was showed in this article. The basic materials were pure Mo sheet and TZM molybdenum alloy. The coatings were deposited in powder process and glazed by different types of lasers. In first step the phase’s compositions of coatings was described by XRD analysis in initial condition and after remelting process. The morphology of the coatings top surface was described as well. All types of coatings were characterized by network of cracks on top surface of the coatings. Laser treatment of the silicide top surface changed morphology of the top surface, especially their cracks network. LM and SEM analysis revealed that internal coatings morphology was very similar in all cases.
