The invention relates to the technical field of
metal surface engineering, and discloses a
laser cladding layer based on
copper-
magnesium-
titanium-
zirconium gradient design and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method comprises gradient structure design, a
microstructure strengthening mechanism, a
laser cladding process and thermal field control. By constructing a
copper-
magnesium-
titanium component gradient transition structure and matching the
thermal expansion coefficient difference between a matrix and a
coating in real time, interface thermal stress accumulation can be dynamically inhibited, the crack defect caused by
thermal expansion mismatch of a traditional cladding layer is avoided, ordered
diffusion of elements at the interface is promoted through gradual change of gradient components, and the
thermal conductivity of the cladding layer is improved. The metallurgical bonding reliability of the
coating and a base body is improved, meanwhile, a stable
coating is formed, the long-term service stability under the extreme working condition is guaranteed, a
microstructure strengthening mechanism regulation and control means is adopted, the coating has a stable and effective
protective barrier in a corrosive medium environment, and the problem of performance degradation caused by structure defects of a traditional cladding layer is solved.
