According to GB/T4340.1-1999 Metal Vickers hardness test part one: test method the vickers hardness test standard utilizes a vickers microhardness tester to measure the section and surface microhardness of a laser remelting water environment cooling modification layer and a pulse laser remelting water environment cooling modification layer. When measuring the microhardness of the laser remelting water environment cooling modification layer, a 4.9N load force is selected, the load continuous loading time is 20s, and when measuring the microhardness of the cross section, hardness points are sequentially measured every 0.1mm from the top to the base metal along the cross section of the remelting water environment cooling modification layer until the base metal is measured; the load force selected for measuring the laser remelting thermal spray coating was 1.96N, and the interval between two hardness points was 50 μm. In order to reduce the error, two rows of hardness points are respectively measured along the center of the remelted layer molten pool, and the average value is taken as the hardness of the section.

Structure and performance of laser remelting layer of second and 45 steel
1. 45 steel-based alloy laser remelting layer structure and structure
1) Steel-based alloy surface modified layer microstructure and structure
Due to rapid cooling, composition supercooling and air structure nonuniformity of laser melting, two types of dendritic structures of austenite and carbide exist in a melting area, and a microstructure consists of martensite, retained austenite and carbide. The grain refinement of martensite and carbide is the key to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the melting zone, especially the ultra-fine grain zone. Compared with the conventional treatment, the residual austenite after laser melting has larger changes in carbon content, hardness, substructure and the like, and has special influence on the mechanical properties of the surface layer of the material. More alloy carbides are dissolved in austenite in the process of fusing, so that martensite and retained austenite have higher alloying degree. Meanwhile, because of grain refinement, carbides precipitated in the high-temperature tempering process are fine and dispersed, so that the fused structure has higher tempering resistance.
Tests show that the water environment cooling modification layer is formed by distributing long-strip white carbide and a small hard phase on a substrate, and the structure of the water environment cooling modification layer also has the defects of a small amount of air holes, inclusions and the like. Analysis shows that the method is mainly determined by the water environment cooling modification layer alloy components and the water environment cooling modification process characteristics. Firstly, oxyacetylene flame energy density is relatively low, a heating area is large and heating time is long in the water environment cooling modification process, so that the time required for cooling and solidifying the molten alloy powder is long, and finally the structure of a water environment cooling modification layer is relatively thick; secondly, the water environment cooling modification technology is manually operated, process parameters are difficult to accurately control, gas generated inside an alloy spray welding layer formed in the water environment cooling modification process overflows rapidly due to the fact that the gas does not float to the surface in time, meanwhile, neutral flame is adopted in the cooling process of cooling water but protective gas is not adopted, so that the surface of high-temperature metal has some oxidation phenomena, the upper portion of a water environment cooling modification layer is prone to forming defects of a small amount of cracks, impurities and the like, the water environment cooling modification layer is uneven in structure and poor in compactness, and the use of the water environment cooling modification alloy layer is limited to a certain extent.
2)45 steel laser remelting layer microstructure and structure
Tests show that the defects of air holes, impurities and the like appear on the cross section of the iron-based alloy welding layer, and the defects are basically eliminated after laser remelting treatment. Analysis shows that the method can be related to the characteristics of a thermal spray welding technology and a laser remelting technology, wherein the thermal spray welding technology can prepare a spray welding layer with larger thickness, but the defects of air holes, impurities and the like inevitably occur on the structure of a condensation welding layer due to the technical limit of the thermal spray welding technology; the laser energy density is high, rapid heating and cooling can be realized, a molten pool formed in the heating process is always protected, and air holes and inclusions cannot be formed in the subsequent remelting process, so that the compactness of the surface structure of the water condensation welding layer is obviously improved after the laser remelting treatment.
The iron-based alloy matrix on the surface layer is rapidly melted under the action of laser and rapidly cooled under the protection of aqueous medium, and crystal grains on the surface of the matrix are refined. And (3) polishing by using sand paper for 50 mu m, removing the tissue of the rapid condensation layer on the surface of the material, and also obtaining a refined tissue in the remelted layer.
In an aqueous medium environment, the surface of the 45 steel is subjected to a quenching-like transformation under the action of laser. Ferrite and pearlite interlacing occurs. The form of the lamellar complex phase is a lamellar complex phase which is formed by alternately laminating a ferrite thin layer and a cementite thin layer and is also called lamellar pearlite. The symbol P indicates that the carbon content ω c is 0.77%. Ferrite accounts for 88% and cementite for 12% of pearlite, and ferrite lamellae are much thicker than cementite due to the much greater amount of ferrite than cementite. When the magnification is higher, wide-strip ferrite and narrow-strip cementite which are distributed in parallel in the pearlite can be clearly seen; when the magnification is low, only one black line can be seen by cementite in the pearlite; when the magnification is further decreased or the pearlite is thinned, the lamellar structure of the pearlite cannot be distinguished, and the pearlite becomes a black lump.
2. Surface structure expression of 45 steel under water environment cooling
The test piece is placed in a container filled with deionized water, the distance from the liquid level to the processed surface can be adjusted by adjusting the water quantity, and then the surface of the test piece is remelted by Nd: YAG laser with certain process parameters. Known research results show that, theoretically, when remelting is carried out in the air directly on the surface, nanocrystalline grains are not obtained, and when remelting is carried out in water, the nanocrystalline grains are refined and partially obtained, and meanwhile, the grains after remelting and recrystallization tend to be more refined along with the increase of the distance between the water surface and the treated surface. The reasons for this are mainly that the laser remelting part in water cools rapidly, austenite has no time to transform into martensite, and crystal grains do not have time to grow. The laser remelting in the air can form a nano-crystalline structure on the surface layer of the material as long as effective measures can be taken to improve the cooling speed. In addition, in the experiment, a part of action effect similar to laser impact and rapid cooling action can be combined to promote the generation of nano crystal grains. The tissue and the water medium treated tissue surface tissue and performance in the air are different due to the protection and cooling effect of water.
The test showed that the structure obtained in air was a lamellar pearlite structure, and ferrite, similar to the remelted layer matrix bonding section studied before the test. Under the protection of 2mm cooling water and the extremely cold action, the crystal grain solidification process is changed, and the crystal grains are refined to be particles close to nano-scale. Under the protection of cooling water and the cooling effect, the crystal grains of the test group are further refined compared with the control group in the air.
Analysis shows that the iron-based alloy welding layer is subjected to remelting treatment by using high-energy-density laser, particles which are not completely remelted in the welding layer, small blocky carbide borides and the like can be rapidly heated to high temperature to form a liquid state, so that the distribution of alloy elements in the welding layer is further homogenized, the component segregation is reduced, and the defects of air holes, inclusions and the like in the welding layer can be reduced or eliminated; secondly, the welding layer can generate great super-cooling degree by utilizing the self-excitation cooling action of the matrix in the laser remelting process, thereby increasing the nucleation rate during crystallization, refining crystal grains and obtaining an extremely fine eutectic with evenly distributed dendritic crystal solid solution and dendrites; meanwhile, the surface structure of the remelting welding layer is influenced by the movement direction of the laser beam in the laser remelting process, so that the distribution of the crystal structure has certain directionality.
3. Remelting performance of 45 steel in cooling water environment
The structure of the aqueous medium cooling welding layer after laser remelting is refined and improved, and the hardness of the aqueous medium cooling welding layer is correspondingly improved. The surface hardness of the air water-cooling welding layer of the iron-based alloy is about 370HV, the hardness is obviously improved after laser remelting, the hardness of the remelting hot spray welding layer is as high as 470HV, and is improved by about 100HV before heavy melting, which is mainly related to the fine crystal strengthening and solid solution strengthening effects generated after the hot spray welding layer is remelted by laser. Further observation shows that the surface hardness of the water-cooling welding layer is improved after laser remelting treatment, the fluctuation of the surface hardness is reduced, and the stability is improved. The reason is that the air remelting layer has a thick and uneven surface structure, and the surface hardness is greatly improved and the uniformity of the surface hardness distribution is also greatly improved after laser remelting treatment.
Analysis shows that after the air hot spray welding layer is subjected to laser remelting treatment, defects such as air holes and inclusions on the upper surface of the spray welding layer are basically eliminated, and meanwhile, due to the fact that the air hot spray welding layer contains more C elements, after the air hot spray welding layer is rapidly heated and rapidly cooled through laser remelting, due to the fact that strong solid solution of alloy elements generates a solid solution strengthening effect, components of the hot spray welding layer are homogenized, and formed surface layer tissues are relatively uniform; in addition, some very fine eutectic iron carbon compounds are formed during rapid solidification of the molten pool, preventing coarsening of the grain structure. The combination of the above factors can greatly improve the surface hardness of the remelting thermal spray welding layer, and the hardness distribution is relatively uniform.
4. Frictional wear performance of remelted layer under 45-degree steel medium cooling
The test shows that after the laser remelting treatment, the width of the grinding scar and the abrasion weight loss of the iron-based alloy water-cooling welding layer are both obviously reduced, and the abrasion weight loss of the air remelting layer is 255 × 10-4g, the remelting water-cooling welding layer is 129 × 10-4And g, the wear resistance of the hot-spray welding layer is improved by about 49 percent compared with that of an air remelting layer, and the test result shows that the wear resistance of the hot-spray welding layer is also greatly improved after laser remelting treatment. Analysis shows that the wear resistance of the water-cooled welding layer after laser remelting treatment is mainly related to the improvement and strengthening of the structure. According to the characteristics of rapid heating and cooling of laser, after the water-cooled welding layer is subjected to laser remelting treatment, the structure is improved, and the comprehensive effects of fine grain strengthening and solid solution strengthening are enhanced, so that a foundation is laid for improving the wear resistance of the water-cooled welding layer.
Tests show that after the air remelting welding layer and the remelting hot water cooling layer are abraded under the same condition, the typical furrows are formed on the surfaces of the air remelting welding layer and the remelting hot water cooling layer, the abrasion mechanism is abrasive particle abrasion, but the abrasion mark on the surface of the remelting hot welding layer is shallow and narrow, and the abrasion resistance of the welding layer is improved after the welding layer is remelted by laser.
Analysis shows that the texture of the air remelting welding layer is thicker and poorer in texture uniformity, however, after laser remelting treatment, solid solution strengthening and fine grain strengthening are enhanced, so that the particles which are ploughed off from the surface of the remelting hot-spraying welding layer are smaller, and in addition, formed fine boride, carbide and the like are dispersed and distributed among the fine columnar dendrites which are formed in advance, and the ploughing effect in the abrasion process is greatly hindered, so that the abrasion mark on the surface of the remelting hot-spraying welding layer is shallow and fine, and better abrasion resistance is shown.
In this example, the laser surface fusion of 45 steel in air is used as a contrast to reveal the structure and properties of a laser-remelted sample in an aqueous medium, which specifically includes:
(1) the hardness of the iron-based alloy after the laser remelting treatment is greatly improved, the surface hardness nonuniformity is also greatly improved, and the wear resistance of the iron-based alloy is greatly improved.

(2) The laser melting zone of the alloy cast iron mainly has a dendritic structure and consists of martensite, austenite and carbide, and crystal grains are obviously refined.
