THE TRIBOLOGICAL PERFORMANCES OF A NiCrBSi – TiC LASER-CLAD COMPOSITE COATING UNDER ABRASION AND SLIDING FRICTION

A comparative analysis of the structure, phase composition, microhardness, tribological performances (wear intensity, friction coefficient, specific wearing work) and wear mechanisms in fixed abrasive tests (abrasives with different hardness, namely, corundum Al2O3 with ~ HV 2000 and silicon carbide with ~ HV 3000) and under dry sliding friction against die steel has been carried out for a NiCrBSi coating and a NiCrBSi–TiC (with 25% wt. TiC addition) composite coating obtained on the surface of steel by gas powder laser cladding. The high-strength frame of coarse titanium carbide particles in the composite coating structure has a significant positive impact on resistance to abrasive wear and sliding friction, and the effectiveness greatly depends on the contact loading conditions and wear mechanism realized.
