Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wear and corrosion protection of high-strength steel surfaces, specifically relating to an iron-based amorphous reinforced NiCrFeMoBC multi-principal-element alloy wear and corrosion resistant coating, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, high-strength steel has been widely used in moving parts of marine engineering equipment, playing an irreplaceable role in marine development and serving as a key material for achieving the national maritime power strategy. However, high-strength steel moving parts face severe corrosion and wear problems in the harsh marine environment during actual service, which restricts the long service life of high-strength steel structures. Therefore, obtaining a protective coating with excellent comprehensive wear and corrosion resistance is crucial for the long-term service of marine-related high-strength steel. Currently, the high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of multi-principal element alloys provide more possibilities for designing long-term protective coatings for high-strength steel. At the same time, by utilizing laser cladding, a highly cost-effective surface modification technology, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy coatings can be produced on low-wear and easily corroded high-strength steel components, ultimately meeting the requirements for the long-term service of marine-related high-strength steel. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a wear-resistant coating of iron-based amorphous reinforced NiCrFeMoBC multi-principal-element alloy, its preparation method and application, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention includes:

[0009] This invention also provides the application of the aforementioned iron-based amorphous reinforced NiCrFeMoBC multi-principal alloy wear-resistant coating in the field of wear-resistant protection of moving parts made of marine high-strength steel.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0011] (1) Fe in this invention 55 Cr 24 Mo 16 B 2.6 The larger size of C2 amorphous powder can retain part of the amorphous structure during the cladding process, which enhances the wear resistance of the coating. Some of the higher melting point elements can act as solidification heterogeneous nucleation sites during the cladding process, thus refining the grain size of the coating.
[0012] (2) Fe in this invention 55 Cr 24 Mo 16 B 2.6 The addition of C2 amorphous material avoids the segregation of lighter non-metallic elements (C and B elements) during the cladding process and reduces the reaction with residual air, thus preventing burn-off. A large number of non-metallic elements are evenly distributed in the cladding coating, resulting in a significant improvement in alloy hardness and wear resistance.
[0013] (3) Fe in this invention 55 Cr 24 Mo 16 B 2.6 The high Cr content (up to 24%) in C2 amorphous alloys enhances the passivation capability of multi-principal alloy coatings, while the 16% Mo content improves the pitting resistance of the passivation film. Attached Figure Description

[0053] Comparative Example 1:
[0054] This comparative example only uses Ni 60 Cr 40 Alloy powder is used to prepare a laser cladding coating according to the steps described above.
[0055] Comparative Example 2:
[0056] The composition of this comparative example is equivalent to that of Example 3, as it directly uses iron-based amorphous Fe. 55 Cr 24 Mo 16 B 2.6 C2 coating uses elemental powders with the same composition: 55% Fe, 24% Cr, 16% Mo, 2.6% B, 2% C, and Ni. 60 Cr 40 Alloy powder is used as raw material, with the total mass ratio of elemental powder being 30%, Ni 60 Cr 40 The alloy powder accounts for 70%, and the laser cladding coating is prepared according to the above steps.
[0057] Characterization:
[0058] Electron micrographs of the cladding alloy powders in Comparative Example 1 and Example 3 are shown below. Figure 1a , Figure 1b As shown; electron microscope images of the coatings in Comparative Examples 1-2 and the NiCrFeMoBC multi-principal-element alloy wear-resistant coatings in Examples 1-3 are shown below. Figures 2a-2e As shown.
[0059] The NiCrFeMoBC multi-principal-element alloy wear-resistant coatings in Examples 1-3 and the coatings in Comparative Examples 1-2 were subjected to microhardness tests, and the results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0060] Using a corrosion friction machine, with a load of 10 N, a friction frequency of 3 Hz, a friction time of 0.5 h, and a corrosion solution of 3.5% NaCl, wear damage tests were conducted on the NiCrFeMoBC multi-principal element alloy wear-resistant coatings in Examples 1-3 and the coatings in Comparative Examples 1-2. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0061] Using an electrochemical workstation and a 3.5% NaCv corrosion solution, electrochemical corrosion tests were conducted on the NiCrFeMoBC multi-principal-element alloy wear-resistant coatings in Examples 1-3 and the coatings in Comparative Examples 1-2. The corrosion current densities are shown in Table 1.

[0063]
[0064]
[0065] The results above show that the addition of amorphous material significantly refines the grain size of the cladding coating. Hardness test results indicate that, compared to Ni in Comparative Example 1... 60 Cr 40 The coating achieved a hardness of 304 HV, while the coating in Comparative Example 2, with the same composition as Example 3, reached 329 HV. The hardness of the amorphous-reinforced coating increased continuously with increasing amorphous content, reaching 552 HV in Example 3; this represents an 81.6% increase compared to Comparative Example 1 and a 67.8% increase compared to Comparative Example 2. Abrasion and wear tests showed that the wear rate of the amorphous coating decreased continuously with increasing amorphous content, reaching only 5 × 10⁻⁶ HV in Example 3. -7 mm 3 / N m, far lower than the 4.1×10 of the coating in Comparative Example 1. -6 mm 3 / N m and Comparative Example 2 coating 5.4×10 -6 mm 3 / N m. Electrochemical corrosion performance shows that the corrosion current density of the amorphous coating increases slightly with the increase of amorphous content, but the resistance to pitting corrosion is improved during the passivation process. In contrast, the coating of Comparative Example 2, which is prepared directly from elemental powder, has a large number of pores due to the burning off of B and C elements, resulting in poor corrosion resistance.
