Effect of Defocusing Distance on Microstructural, Hardness, and Tribological Behavior of Ni-Cr-Si-B-C Powder Deposit on 316LN Austenitic Stainless Steel Substrate Using Laser Hard-Facing

The Ni-based alloy powder has been melted and bonded to an AISI 316LN austenitic stainless steel (ASS) base material (substrate) using a high-energy disc laser with a maximum power of up to 12 kW. The substrate’s hard-faced reservoir is highly diluted due to the significant difference in melting tem...

description The Ni-based alloy powder has been melted and bonded to an AISI 316LN austenitic stainless steel (ASS) base material (substrate) using a high-energy disc laser with a maximum power of up to 12 kW. The substrate’s hard-faced reservoir is highly diluted due to the significant difference in melting temperature between the substrate and the commonly used Ni-based alloy. The hardness, macrostructure, microstructure, and wear resistance effects of the defocusing distance were examined. The composition, microstructure, hardness, and wear resistance of phases have been examined with a pin-on-disk wear test, an energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). According to the findings, the height and diameter of the beads rose when the distance was increased from 17 mm to 37 mm. On the other hand, penetration and dilution decreased from 3.7 mm to 2.7 mm and from 9.7% to 3.1%, respectively. When the defocusing length is increased and the penetration profundity and dilution are limited, the density of energy per unit clad is accessible. The laser hard-faced surfaces contain microstructures of Ni-rich solid solution, boride, and carbide. These different factors cause higher hardness and resistance to wear.
