摘要

Fe-Cr3C2 hard coatings with varying Cr3C2 content were produced on 35CrMo steel substrates by laser cladding. The experimental results showed that the coatings were uniform, continuous, and free of cracks. High adhesions between all produced coatings and their corresponding substrates were obtained due to the metallurgical interfaces between them. The microstructures of the coatings were mainly composed of austenitic dendrites and M7C3. The microhardness gradually increased from the bottom to the top of the coating, and increased with elevation of Cr3C2 content. The Fe-Cr3C2 coatings improved the sliding wear resistance of the 35CrMo steel substrates obviously, and the dominant wear mechanism was spalling fatigue, with plowed grooves on the worn surfaces.
