Rapid Solidification and Laser Cladding of Gas Atomized Ni-Nb-Sn Bulk Metallic Glass

Article Preview

Abstract:

Glassy overspray powders of Ni59Nb35Sn6 (at%) bulk metallic glass (BMG) obtained by spray forming were used in order to produce coatings on AISI 1020 mild steel substrate by laser cladding of the pre-placed powders. Different laser parameters, resulting in a variation of the power density, PD (J/mm2), were tested with a Yb fiber laser (up to 500 W). Gas atomized powders, suction cast sample trough copper mold casting and the laser clad tracks were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and coatings were subjected to measurements of Vickers microhardness. Atomized powder obtained showed no crystalline phases formation up to 425 μm, indicating good glass forming ability (GFA) of Ni59Nb35Sn6 (at%) alloy. Microstructure characterization confirmed maximum glassy dimension of tc =1mm for the Ni59Nb35Sn6 (at%). Laser cladding track showed nanocrystalline phases embedded in a glassy matrix with Vickers microhardness ranging from 336 to 1184 HV.
