Abstract

La2O3 reinforced Ni-WC coatings were prepared on S136 steel by laser cladding technique. The microstructure and phase of obtained coatings were analyzed using an ultra depth of field microscope and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The effect of La2O3 mass fraction on the microstructure and friction-wear performance of Ni-WC coating was investigated. The results show that the coefficients of frictions (COFs) of Ni-WC-3%La2O3, − 6%La2O3 and − 9%La2O3 are decreased by 26.7%, 34.8% and 22.4% than that of substrate, in which the COF of Ni-WC-6%La2O3 is the smallest among the three kinds of coatings. The wear rates of substrate and Ni-WC-3%La2O3, − 6%La2O3 and − 9%La2O3 coatings are 640.81, 344.78, 402.63, 422.38 μm3·s−1·N−1, respectively, which increase with the increase of La2O3 mass fraction. The wear mechanisms of Ni-WC coatings with the 3%, 6% and 6%La2O3 mass fractions are adhesive wear + oxidation wear, adhesive wear, and adhesive wear + oxidation wear, respectively, showing that the appropriate La2O3 mass fraction plays the role of wear resistance of Ni-WC-La2O3 coatings.
