Abstract

Laser cladding is a powerful surface strengthening technology that combines with high precision forming and low substrate damage to endow components with high surface performance. Fe-based coatings have been widely used in the surface engineering of many mechanical components. As the demand for higher performance and longer service life for components increases, the design and fabrication of new laser cladded coatings are expected to improve. This paper reviews recent research results of our team on laser cladding of novel Fe-based coatings, such as nano-bainite Fe-based coating, ultra-fine eutectic Fe-based coating, particle reinforced martensite coating, and high-hardness amorphous Fe-based coating. The study results are presented from the perspectives of the design, microstructure, and mechanical properties of these novel coating materials.
