Abstract

Abstract: Stainless steel material has been widely used in aeronautical, chemical and nuclear industries due to good corrosion resistance. However, the material has less hardness and wear resistance. In this study, two various depositions namely Colmonoy-6 and Stellite-6 have produced on 304 Stainless steel. Besides, the coating was examined to reveal their metallurgical, mechanical and tribological properties. In addition, wear mechanism, wear debris and roughness averages were studied. The outcomes indicate that both coatings show with dendrite structure due to rapid cooling rates. Hardness of the clad surface has improved than substrate material. The results of friction coefficient of specimen with Colmonoy-6 is lower than that of specimens Stellite-6 and substrate. Also, wear resistance of Colmonoy-6 has increased 49 times than substrate sample, which reveals that Colmonoy-6 laser cladding plays role on wear resistance. Adhesive and abrasive are the major wear mechanisms in the present study. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
