Effects of scanning speed on the microstructure, hardness and corrosion properties of high-speed laser cladding Fe-based stainless coatings

Fe-based coatings have been prepared by utilizing laser cladding with the scanning speed ranging from 1.57 to 20.4 m/min. The microstructure and corrosion properties have been further investigated to evaluate the effects of scanning speed. The results show that, both coating's thickness and dil...

description Fe-based coatings have been prepared by utilizing laser cladding with the scanning speed ranging from 1.57 to 20.4 m/min. The microstructure and corrosion properties have been further investigated to evaluate the effects of scanning speed. The results show that, both coating's thickness and dilution rate gradually decrease with the increase of scanning speed. However, the deposition efficiency on the surface can be greatly improved by around 4 times. Under high scanning speed, the Fe-based coatings show the similar microstructure feature, comprising with dendrites and inter-dendritic structures. But the coating's microstructure can be significantly refined with the secondary dendritic arm spacing less than 1 μm. Furthermore, the gap of Cr concentration between the two structures can be effectively reduced, which shrinks the difference in corrosion resistance. On the other hand, the Fe-based coating's hardness gradually decreases resulting from the retained austenite and ferrite under high scanning speed. Compared to Q235 steel, the cladded Fe-based coatings show superior corrosion resistance with much higher corrosion potential and lower corrosion current density. Pitting dominates the corrosion forms of high-speed laser Fe-based coatings, which initially takes place on the boundaries of different structures. With the increase of scanning speed, the coating's corrosion resistance increases firstly and then decreases, and the coating cladded with the speed of 15.7 m/min shows the best corrosion resistance. Higher average Cr content and more uniform Cr distribution account for the better corrosion resistance. However, excessive microstructure refinement plays a negative role in the coating's corrosion resistance owing to more grain boundaries.
