In this article, we have focused on a detailed quantitative analysis of the effect of different laser powers (1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 kW) on the bead geometry, dilution, microstructure, and hardness. Coatings dilution or composition depends directly on the laser power as well as bead geometry. The typical microstructure of the coatings comprises a solid solution of α (hcp)- and β (fcc)-Co with a dendritic structure as a metal matrix and an interdendritic lamellar eutectic, which contains predominantly β-Co, chromium carbides Cr7C3 and Cr23C6 as well as blocky tungsten carbide W2C. Coating hardness depends on the chemical composition and microstructure that is modified by the deposition parameters. Low laser power results in high carbide fraction and most refined microstructures, accounting for harder coatings.}, language = {en} } @article{KiehlScheidGrafetal.2023, author = {Kiehl, Maximilian and Scheid, Adriano and Graf, Karin and Ernst, Benedikt and Tetzlaff, Ulrich}, title = {Coaxial laser cladding of cobalt-base alloy Stellite™ 6 on gray cast iron/investigations on friction, wear versus commercial brake pad, and corrosion characteristics}, volume = {237}, journal = {Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering}, number = {14}, publisher = {Sage}, address = {London}, issn = {2041-2991}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1177/09544070221145512}, pages = {3285 -- 3303}, year = {2023}, language = {en} }
