The invention belongs to the field of
laser cladding and
surface engineering, and particularly relates to
ceramic particles for
laser cladding and a preparation method and application of the
ceramic particles. The method comprises the following steps: pretreating
ceramic particles, sensitizing the ceramic particles in a
tin ion solution, activating the ceramic particles, and depositing a Ni-P
coating layer to obtain the ceramic particles for
laser cladding. When the
ceramic particle for laser cladding is used for aluminum
alloy laser cladding repair, particle-matrix wettability and interface metallurgical bonding can be remarkably improved, generation of non-wettability, incomplete fusion and pore defects is reduced, and therefore the compactness and
bonding strength of a cladding layer are improved, the agglomeration, sinking and incomplete fusion defects are restrained, and the service life of the cladding layer is prolonged. And the compactness, microhardness,
wear resistance and
corrosion resistance of the
coating are improved. The method has the advantages of mild process, high applicability and easiness in
batch production and field repair popularization, and is suitable for surface strengthening and
remanufacturing repair
engineering of various ceramic /
metal combinations.
