To withstand the high combined corrosive, tribological, thermal, and mechanical stresses, wear-resistant coatings tailored to the application and steel grade are used. In addition to the increasing demand to substitute conventional cobalt alloys with nickel alloys, there is also a growing need for defined or functional surfaces of high integrity. Due to high tool wear, milling operations required to produce the complex geometries of the components are often not economically feasible for SMEs. By means of alloy modification of the filler metals for nickel-based plasma build-up welded wear-resistant coatings and by the use of innovative ultrasonic-assisted milling processes more favourable machinability shall be achieved without reducing the wear protection potential. In this paper, the influence of the microstructure and precipitation morphology adjusted by means of alloy modification on the machinability is investigated. This is done based on a wear protection alloy NiCrMoSiFeB (trade name: Colmonoy 56 PTA) typically used for screw machines, which substitutes conventional CoCr alloys (Stellite). Metallurgical investigations and in-situ measurements of occurring process forces and temperatures at the tool cutting edge during milling as well as subsequent investigations of tool wear and surface integrity allow a detailed analysis and correlation between microstructural properties and machinability. For the cast samples, a clear change in the microstructure and hardness can be seen through the addition of Al, Ti, or Nb. These differences lead to an improvement in the machining process for Nb. Al and Ti cause long-needled or star-shaped precipitations and hardness increases, which lead to higher cutting forces and increased tool wear.

Um den hohen kombinier-ten korrosiven, tribologischen, thermischen und mechanischen Beanspruchungen stand zu halten, werden auf Anwendungsfall und Stahlwerkstoff abgestimmte Verschleißschutzschichten eingesetzt. Neben der zunehmenden Forderung konventionelle Kobalt- durch Nickellegierungen zu ersetzen, wächst auch der Bedarf nach definierten Ober- bzw. Funktionsflächen hoher Güte. Aufgrund hohen Werkzeugverschleißes ist die erforderliche Fräsbearbeitung zu Herstellung der komplexen Geomet-rien der Bauteile für KMU oftmals wirtschaftlich nicht möglich. Mittels Legierungsmodifikation der Schweißzusätze für nickelbasierte plasmaauftraggeschweißte Verschleißschutzschichten und durch den Einsatz innovativer ultraschallunterstützter Fräsprozesse soll eine günstigere Zerspanbarkeit er-reicht werden, ohne das Verschleißschutzpotential zu mindern. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird der Ein-fluss der mittels Legierungsmodifikation eingestellten Gefüge- und Ausscheidungsmorphologie auf die Zerspanbarkeit untersucht. Dies erfolgt anhand einer typischerweise für Schneckenmaschinen einge-setzten Verschleißschutzlegierung NiCrMoSiFeB-Legierung („Colmonoy 56 PTA“), die konventionelle CoCr-Legierungen (Stellite) substituiert. Metallurgische Untersuchungen und In-situ-Messungen auf-tretender Prozesskräfte an der Werkzeugschneide beim Fräsen sowie anschließende Untersuchungen von Werkzeugverschleiß und Oberflächenintegrität ermöglichen eine detaillierte Analyse und Korrela-tion zwischen mikrostrukturellen Eigenschaften und Zerspanbarkeit.

Wear-resistant coatings are required for highly efficient and economical steel components in plant, process and power plant engineering to withstand the high corrosive, tribological, thermal and mechanical stresses. Co alloys are utilized as wear protection coatings for steel components that are customized to the specific application. The research area of interest is the substitutability of Co alloys with Ni-based wear protection systems. This research endeavour considers the price and supply uncertainties as well as the escalating demands on corrosive load-bearing capacity at elevated temperatures. The wear-resistant alloys NiMoCrSi (Colmonoy C56) and CoMnCrSi (Tribaloy T400) have been modified through various alloying additions and subsequently applied to a carbon-manganese steel S355 using the Plasma Arc Transferred Arc (PTA) welding process. The influence of the alloying additions on the microstructure as well as on the formation of the hard phases of the build-up welds is compared. The inclusion of the alloying element Nb, for instance, results in the formation of a more refined hard phase and reduces the machining force required for the C56 and T400. The incorporation of Al results in an enhancement of the cutting forces for the C56, as the hard phases exhibit more needle-like structures. Al reduces the cutting forces of the T400. The wear potential of the modified build-up welds of the C56 and T400 is also being examined In the industrial sector, there is a growing demand for functional surfaces of superior quality. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure the machinability of the wear protection layers to achieve clearly defined contours. The machinability of the build-up welds is investigated using ultrasonic milling. The optimization of the demanding machining conditions through alloy modifications of the Co- and Ni-based alloys without impairing the wear protection potential and using the ultrasonic-assisted milling process is a joint project of BAM and ISAF at Clausthal University of Technology (Fosta P1550/IGF 21959 N).

The expansion of technologies for climate-neutral energy generation is not the only important contribution to reducing greenhouse gases, the efficient use of material systems is also a key factor. In the area of plant engineering, steel components are provided with a wear-protection coating for efficient use to protect them against corrosive, tribological, thermal and mechanical stresses. The wear-protection coatings are primarily made of Co alloys, which are to be replaced by alternative materials, such as nickel alloys, because of the poor working conditions regarding the extraction of the cobalt and because of the health risks. In terms of corrosion behavior, many applications require a crack-free wear protection layer and additional machining. Machining by milling is not economical for wear materials, especially for SME because of the high tool wear, but it is essential to produce defined surfaces with high quality. Alloy modifications of the filler metals for nickel-based plasma deposition welded wear protection coatings and the use of innovative ultrasonic-assisted milling processes are examined to determine how more favorable machinability can be achieved without reducing the wear protection potential. The focus is on the NiCrSiFeB alloy, which is intended to replace CoCr alloys in the area of screw machines. The modification of hard facing layers in terms of microstructure and precipitation morphology as well as suitability for machining is investigated and compared with the CoCr alloy. In this aspect, the alloy modifications are generated by a PTA process by systematically adjusting the preheating and interpass temperatures, a crack-free wear-resistant layer can be generated, which is subsequently machined by a milling process. In addition to the crack-free properties, the microstructure, the bonding as well as the mixing between the NiCrFeB alloy and a 1.8550 as well as between the CoCr alloy and a 1.4828 are analyzed and compared in the joining areas. In addition, heating and cooling rates are determined and a chemical analysis of the weld metals is performed. This study provides important knowledge about the differences between NiCrFeB alloy and CoCr alloys in terms of microstructure morphology, bonding and mixing behavior in the joining zones to the basic material.
