Abstract
Using an orthogonal experimental design, a single-track SD-3 nickel-based alloy coating was laser clad onto the surface of 42CrMo steel to determine the best process parameters. The single-track coating’s microscopic structure and hardness were examined and tested. The findings demonstrated that an alloy coating with low fracture density and high hardness was produced using the process parameters of the laser power of 2100 W, the scanning speed of 8 mm/s, and the feeding speed of 0.8 r/min, and a strong metallurgical link was formed between the molten layer and the substrate. The SD-3 nickel-based alloy coating was mainly composed of FeNi3 and γ-(Ni, Fe) solid solution phases. With a microhardness of 683.2 (HV0.1), which was 2.4 times higher than that of the 42CrMo steel substrate, the SD-3 nickel-based alloy coating had a harder surface than the underlying material.
