  • effect of Laser Cladding on wear and damage behaviors of heavy haul wheel rail materials
    Wear, 2014
    Co-Authors: W J Wang, Jiajie Hu
    Abstract:

    Abstract The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Laser Cladding coating on wear and damage behaviors of heavy-haul wheel/rail materials by means of a laboratory-scale rolling–sliding wear apparatus. The results indicate that the wheel/rail rollers with Laser Cladding form a uniform and compacted coating without any cracks or stomata. The Laser Cladding coating markedly improves wear-resistance of wheel/rail rollers. The wear mechanism of wheel/rail rollers undergoing Laser Cladding is plowing and abrasive wear. However, the wheel/rail rollers without Laser Cladding exhibit visible adhesion wear and serious spalling damage. Furthermore, there are obvious fatigue cracks in both the surface and subsurface. Excellent wear-resistance of Laser Cladding coating can effectively alleviate surface damage and prolong wear life of heavy-haul wheel/rail. However, further work should be carried out for clarifying the fatigue characteristic of wheel/rail with Laser Cladding coating.

  • development and characterization of composite ni cr wc Laser Cladding
    Wear, 2007
    Co-Authors: L Stgeorges
    Abstract:

    Abstract To increase the life of mechanical parts submitted to severe oxidizing and abrasive environments, specific coatings are frequently used. Since two decades, with the rapid development of Lasers, power Lasers have been used to produce high quality coatings. Metal matrix composite (MMC) coatings composed of nickel and tungsten carbides (Ni-WC) are frequently used to solve problems of reduced life under severe abrasive conditions. Comparative abrasive tests between Laser Cladding and conventional hardfacing have been performed following the ASTM G-65 standard test method and noticeable increased life (up to six times) has been obtained for the Laser Cladding. This better resistance to abrasion results from the low dilution and the rapid solidification rate obtained with the Laser Cladding. As a consequence, for MMC coatings reinforced with WC particles, Laser Cladding exhibits higher WC volume content and finer microstructure. For applications where oxidation and abrasion resistances are needed, special metal matrix composite such as nickel–chromium alloy + WC particles have been developed. Nickel chrome matrixes with various WC volume content Claddings have been produced on standard steel. The effects of the process parameters on the Cladding quality are discussed and microstructure observations are presented.
