摘要

To enhance the wear resistance of mechanical components and extend the service life of equipment parts, laser cladding technology was employed to deposit high-performance composite coatings on component surfaces. Through microstructural observation, phase analysis, microhardness testing, and friction wear testing, the influence of nano-WC content on the microstructure and wear resistance of Ni45 coatings was investigated. Results indicate that increasing nano-WC content progressively refines coating grains, elevates microhardness, and enhances wear resistance. This occurs because nano-WC particles act as nucleating agents, refining coating grains while increasing hardness and promoting wear resistance improvement. Compared to the Ni45 coating, adding 25 wt.% nano-WC increased the average microhardness by 27.3% and reduced the average friction coefficient by 10.9%.
