Evaluation of Two Different Energy Inputs for Deposition of Stellite 6 by Laser Cladding on a Martensitic Stainless Steel Substrate
Abstract:
Stellite 6 was deposited by laser cladding on a martensitic stainless steel substrate with energy inputs of 1 kW (MSS-1) and 1.8 kW (MSS-1.8). The chemical compositions and microstructures of these coatings were characterized by atomic absorption spectroscopy, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The microhardness of the coatings was measured and the wear mechanism of the coatings was assessed using a pin-on-plate (reciprocating) wear testing machine. The results showed less cracking and pore development for Stellite 6 coatings applied to the MSS steel substrate with the lower heat input (MSS-1). Further, the Stellite coating for MSS-1 was significantly harder than that obtained for MSS-1.8. The wear test results indicated that the weight loss for MSS-1 was much lower than for MSS-1.8. It is concluded that the lower hardness of the coating for MSS-1.8, markedly reduced the wear resistance of the Stellite 6 coating.
