    Abstract

    In-situ TiC particle reinforce composite coating is synthesized on H13 steel surface by laser cladding technique. The phase composition, microstructure, friction and wear behavior and Vickers hardness of composite coating are analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), wear testing machine and Vickers hardness gage. The results show that the laser cladding composite coating is mainly composed of TiC, Cr7C3 and Fe-Cr phases under the molar ratio of Ti to Cr3C2 of 2.441 condition. The content of Cr7C3 phase in coating increases under the molar ratio Ti to Cr3C2 of 21 condition, while (Cr, Fe)7C3 phase is found under the molar ratio Ti to Cr3C2 of 22.33 condition. SEM and EDS analysis indicate that the microstructure of TiC phase gradually changes from ball shape to lamellar with the increasing of laser power density. The cladding coating surface macro morphology is good and no pores or cracks under the molar ratio Ti to Cr3C2 of 22.33 and the laser power density 24.38 kW·cm-2 condition. The highest average Vickers hardness of the laser cladding composite coating is 931.9 HV0.2, which is about 2.21 times higher than that of the H13 steel substrate. The lowest wear weight loss of the composite coating is only 27.2 % of the substrate.
