AI Technical Summary
Existing iron-based alloy coatings are prone to the formation of coarse or continuous network-like Cr-rich carbides at grain boundaries, which leads to a decrease in wear resistance and crack resistance. Adding Nb alone is sensitive to its content, making it difficult to achieve a comprehensive improvement in wear resistance and crack resistance without relying on excessively increasing the overall hardness.
The synergistic enhancement of iron-based wear-resistant coatings by introducing VC and Nb involves adding V to the iron-based coating to form VC. Utilizing the large diffusion coefficient of V and its strong affinity for C, VC serves as a heterogeneous nucleation core for NbC, forming fine and dispersed (Nb,V)C multi-element carbides. This core pins grain boundaries and intragranular grains, inhibiting the growth of coarse Cr-rich carbides and the networking of grain boundaries.
Without relying on excessively increasing the overall hardness, the wear resistance and crack resistance of the iron-based coating are comprehensively improved. The coating hardness is increased, the wear resistance and crack resistance are significantly enhanced, and the uniformity and stability of the structure are improved.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wear-resistant coating, in particular to a VC-NbC synergistically reinforced iron-based wear-resistant coating and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Iron-based alloy coating has been widely used in wear-resistant parts such as engineering machinery, mining equipment and metallurgical rolls due to its low cost, good wear resistance and strong processing adaptability. Fe-Cr-C system is a commonly used base system of such coating, and under the rapid heating-cooling condition of laser cladding, a high volume fraction of Cr-rich carbides (such as M7C3 and M 23 C6) can be easily formed in situ. However, the existing technology has a coarse or continuous network of Cr-rich carbides at the grain boundary, which causes local organization embrittlement and stress concentration, and cracks are easily initiated and expanded along the grain boundary during service, resulting in a decrease in wear resistance and crack resistance stability. In order to inhibit grain boundary coarsening and refine the organization to improve wear resistance, the existing technology attempts to add strong carbide forming elements in the iron-based coating, such as adding niobium (Nb) to generate NbC hard phase in situ to enhance the coating. The addition of Nb alone has obvious content sensitivity: when the Nb content is low, the nucleation and dispersion of NbC are insufficient, it is difficult to effectively pin the grain boundary and inhibit the segregation of Cr and C along the grain boundary, and coarse Cr-rich carbides will still be formed and induce grain boundary cracks; when the Nb content is high, NbC is easy to agglomerate and grow into coarse particles or chain-like aggregates, which destroys the uniformity of the organization and causes interface peeling and falling under the action of load, thereby aggravating wear. When the Nb content is in the appropriate range, the grain size of chromium carbide can be significantly reduced, thereby reducing the formation of crack sources at the grain boundary, and no NbC agglomeration phenomenon is observed, but the performance such as hardness and wear resistance of the coating reaches a bottleneck, and the performance of the iron-based alloy coating cannot be further improved. Therefore, how to comprehensively improve the wear resistance and crack resistance without relying on excessive increase in overall hardness has become a technical problem to be solved in the field.
