- (1)
- By using a laser power of 6000 W, a scanning speed of 5 mm/s and a feed rate of 10 g/min, three Ni layers and two Mo layers were cladded. By these means, cladding layers with pure Mo on the surface could be prepared.
- (2)
- Due to the comprehensive factors such as poor fluidity of the molten pool of Mo and non-equilibrium solidification of the laser, pores and cracks were easily formed in the pure Mo layer.
- (3)
- In order to prepare wear-resistant and high-thermal-conductivity coating on the Cu, Ni was introduced to overcome the incompatibility of Cu and Mo. It was found that the surface hardness of the cladding layer could be increased by three times relative to that of the substrate. The volumetric wear rate of Cu was three times that of the cladding layer. The main wear mechanism of the Mo was abrasive wear, and that of the Cu was adhesive wear.
