Abstract:
Ti/TiBCN composite coatings were prepared on a 7075 aluminum alloy surface by laser cladding. The relation between the main processing parameters (i.e., laser power, scanning speed, and powder feeding rate) and the geometrical characteristics (i.e., height, width, penetration depth, dilution and wetting angle) of single clad tracks is studied by linear regression analysis. The microstructure, micro-hardness and electrochemical corrosion were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, a Vickers micro-hardness machine, and a standard three-electrode cell, respectively. The results showed that all geometrical track characteristics are observed with high values of the correlation coefficient (R > 0.95). In addition, the average hardness value (750 HV0.2) was obtained of the Ti/TiBCN composite coating, and polarization curves indicated that the composite coatings were harder to corrode than the substrate.
