WC particle reinforced steel composites were prepared by tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. Microstructure and phase constituent of the composite coating were analyzed by OM (optical microscope)
SEM (scanning electron microscope)
XRD (X-ray diffraction) and EDS (energy dispersive spectrometer)
and micro-hardness and wear resistance of the composite coating were measured. The results reveal that WC and W2C particles are dispersedly distributed into the dendrite structure in the cladding layer
meanwhile
Fe(W) solid solution phase and M6C phase can be observed in the structure of the composite coatings. Micro-hardness of the coating can reach up to 970 (HV0.1)
greatly improving the wear resistance of the 45 steel matrix.
