| Abstract | |
Surface engineering is an effective method to extend the lifespan of carbon steels submitted to severe wear degradation. In this work, the surface of a low carbon steel (AISI 1020) was protected by a boron-modified stainless steel coating produced by selective laser melting (SLM). Commercial precursors such as 2205 duplex stainless steel and ferrous-alloy (Fe-B) were used to produce boron-modified steel powders by two different routes: i) gas atomization, and ii) gas atomization followed by mechanical milling of large particles (to reduce the particles' size and to add a solid lubricant - hexagonal boron nitride, h-BN). Thick coatings (200 - 600 mu m) metallurgically bonded to the substrate were produced with reduced dilution, characterized by refined, hard and rigid borides homogeneously distributed within the predominant ferritic matrix. The boron-modified steel coatings were hard (similar to 800 HV0.5) and wear-resistant, since the specific wear rate was similar to 4.5 x 10(-5) mm(3).N-1.m(-1), much inferior to that of the soft (similar to 120 HV0.5) AISI 1020 substrate (similar to 1.8 x 10(-3) mm(3).N-1.m(-1)). Although recognized as solid-lubrificant, the coating produced by powder containing h-BN additions did not exhibit reduced coefficient of friction. Given the high temperatures achieved during SLM process, the h-BN may decompose, being the remaining content insufficient to enable the formation of an effective lubrificating layer. The present work contributes to widespread the use of SLM to produce wear-resistant protective coatings using boride-reinforced stainless steels. (AU) | |
