1. INTRODUCTION
The study explores the enhancement of T10 steel known for its :

Good grain size Toughness High hardness

Despite its benefits, T10 steels use is limited due to its :


Mediocre heat
Poor corrosion
Low heat resistance treatment
resistance
performance

The document emphasizes the importance of developing surface engineering


techniques to enhance the application of T10 steels.
By applying surface engineering techniques particularly laser cladding the
research aims to improve its properties.

The specific focus of the research is


on Fe-Cr-Ni alloy coatings which are
applied to T10 steel to enhance its
wear and corrosion resistance.
2.EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
2.1 EXPERIMENTAL MATERIALS
• Substrate: Flaky T10 steel with dimensions of 100 mm × 100 mm × 10 mm
• Composition: 1.04% C, 0.34% Mn, 0.012% P, 0.008% S and balance Fe
• Blending powders: Cr and Ni powders
2.2 EXPERIMENTAL METHODS
• Surface preparation:
- Polish and clean T10 steel flake
- Apply 1 mm thick Cr and Ni powders
• Laser treatment:
- Use high power laser (1060-1080 nm) with a 5 mm beam spot
- Employ a robot system to move the laser head with 5 mm beam spot diameter.
- Process at power levels: 3.2 KW, 2.8 KW, 2.4 KW, 2.0 KW, 1.6 KW ; 6 mm/s speed.

• Post processing:
- Cut samples into 10 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm pieces using wire electrode cutting.
- Polish and corrode the cut specimens in aqua regia for 5 seconds.
• Analysis Techniques :
- Scanning electron microscope for microstructure and chemical composition.
- Digital microscope for morphological observation.
- XRD analysis
- Vickers hardness test (1.96 N load for 15 seconds)
- Corrosion resistance test in 3.5 % NaCl solution at room temperature.
3. RESULTS & DISCUSSION
3.1 CLADDING TRACKS FORMING:
This image shows the surface appearance of laser cladding tracks with different laser powers.
As laser power increases (from left to right) the track width increases but the surface becomes
rough and uneven due to laser scattering and partial melting.

The cross-sectional image on the right, display the internal
structure of cladding track. It shows three distinct zones: the
cladding zone (CZ), the heated affected zone (HAZ) and the
substrate with a clear bonding line.

These scanning electron microscopy images below show


different cladding tracks with varying composition.

3.2 MICROSTRUCTURE ANALYSIS
The coating primarily consists of γ-Fe (austenite) and α-Fe (ferrite) phases. As the Ni content
increases more austenite forms, and less ferrite is present. The grain boundaries vary based on the
Cr and Ni content, affecting the coatings properties.

The figure depicts the stages of solidification in AF (austenitic-ferritic) mode representing the
microstructure changes as the material cools from a liquid state to a solid one.

3.3 MICROHARDNESS
• The first graph shows how the hardness of the material
changes with distance from the surface and with
different composition of cladding. The sample with
highest Cr content (90Cr10Ni) has the highest hardness.
As the Cr content decreases the hardness decreases.

• The second graph shows how the hardness of the


80Cr20Ni sample changes with different laser power.
The hardness is relatively consistent regardless of the
laser power used

3.4 ANALYIS OF CORROSION RESISTANCE

• Both the figure and table highlight that the Fe-Cr-Ni


coatings are much better at resisting corrosion than the
steel substrate, with chromium playing a crucial role in
this protection.
4. CONCLUSIONS
• The study successfully produced crack-free Fe-Cr-Ni alloy coatings on T10
steel using laser cladding.
• The coatings are mostly austenite with some ferrite and their
microstructure is influenced by the Cr/Ni ratio in the powder use.
• The average hardness of these coatings is about 380 HV, which is much
higher than substrate’s hardness.
• The coatings offer better corrosion resistance than the substrate due to
their specific microstructure and composition, although changes in the
Cr/Ni ratio do not significantly affect the coatings.
