Abstract

Cracking of the clad layers is a major issue in laser cladding of hard wear-resistant coatings such as Ni-Cr-B-Si-C alloys. One way to solve this problem is to increase the toughness of these alloys by compositional and microstructural modifications. The focus of this chapter is on defining a procedure to select alloying elements for microstructural refinement of Ni-Cr-B-Si-C alloys and assessing the effectiveness of such a refinement as a toughening mechanism to solve the cracking problem of laser deposited coatings. It is shown that the addition of Nb in ...
