ABSTRACT
In the present paper, the bonding strength of Fe-based self-fluxing alloy coating deposited by plasma spraying, gluing and laser remelting and alloying on the steel substrate have been investigated. When flame melting, a globular structure is formed. Against the background of the solid solution carbide-boride phases are clearly distinguishable, between which the Fe–Fe2B and Fe–FeB eutectic colonies are situated. Laser remelting leads to the formation of metastable structures, reinforced with dendrites, consisting of alloyed Fe-α and Fe-γ. At the low laser beam speeds the coating is melted completely with the formation of a cast structure with the dendrites. When the laser beam speed is increased, the dendritic structure gets fragmented. Structures of coatings alloyed with B4C and remelted by the laser beam vary with the increase of the spot speed. The bonding strength of coating without subsequent remelting decreases by 4–5 times in comparison with remelted. The bonding strength of the reinforced glue coating has adhesive and adhesive-cohesive character. When the load increases in the coating, microcracks develop, which gradually spread to the center of the bonding surface. For plasma coatings after laser remelting without additional alloying, the maximum bonding strength is observed with the minimum laser beam speed. With increasing the laser beam speed it decreases almost 1.5 times. In glue coatings reinforced with B4C particulates by laser remelting, the bonding strength is lower by 1.2–1.4 times in comparison with plasma coating.
