In this study, we developed composite Fe-Cr-V-C coatings by plasma transferred-arc (PTA) powder surfacing on a 42CrMo steel substrate. The effects of arc current and ion gas flow rate on the coatings' microstructure, hardness, and bonding performance were investigated. During the surfacing process, VxCy,M7C3M=Fe,Cr and other hard phases are in-situ generated throughout the entire PTA powder surfacing. These phases are uniformly distributed in the Fe matrix through precipitation and dispersion strengthening, yielding a surface hardness of up to 64.1 HRC. Also, the bonding performance between the substrate and coatings was evaluated by measuring the tensile strength, revealing that strong metallurgical bonds are formed, reaching a strength greater than 811 MPa.
在本研究中,我们通过等离子转移弧(PTA)粉末堆焊在42CrMo钢基体上制备了复合Fe-Cr-V-C涂层。研究了电弧电流和离子气体流量对涂层微观结构、硬度和结合性能的影响。在堆焊过程中,VxCy、M7C3(M=Fe、Cr)等硬质相在整个PTA粉末堆焊过程中原位生成。这些相通过沉淀和弥散强化均匀分布在铁基体中,表面硬度高达64.1 HRC。此外,通过测量拉伸强度评估了基体与涂层之间的结合性能,结果表明形成了牢固的冶金结合,强度大于811 MPa。
