The invention discloses a
vanadium carbide gradient
composite coating and a preparation method thereof. The
metal matrix surface is treated, a carburant is prepared, the
metal matrix surface is coatedwith the carburant and a
thermal insulation coating, surface carburization is carried out, ferrovanadium
powder is sent to the
metal matrix surface, pre-
drying laser scanning is carried out, multi-channel overlap cladding is carried out, heat preservation is carried out, while-furnace cooling is carried out, and the composite
wear resistant vanadium carbide coating on the metal matrix surface isobtained. The
coating includes a composite zone of granular-shaped and short rod-shaped
carbide and a matrix, and can further includes a composite zone of granular-shaped and chrysanthemum-shaped carbide and the matrix, a composite zone of granular-shaped secondary carbide and the matrix, and a ferrite zone with less carbon and
vanadium contents, the composite zone of the granular-shaped and shortrod-shaped carbide and the matrix, the composite zone of the granular-shaped and chrysanthemum-shaped carbide and the matrix, the composite zone of the granular-shaped secondary carbide and the matrix and the ferrite zone with the less carbon and vanadium contents are successively distributed in gradient, and can be applied to the metal matrix surface. According to the
vanadium carbide gradient
composite coating and the preparation method thereof, a complex of a metal matrix and vanadium is obtained by
casting, external carbon sources are externally introduced, heating and heat preservation are carried out, and a
carbide coating is formed on the metal matrix surface; and the coating is metallurgical bonded to the matrix, the
binding force is high, and the
wear resistant property of the metal matrix surface is greatly improved.
