Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to processes of coating metallic articles and more particularly, laser deposition processes of coating metallic articles to protect the articles against corrosion and abrasion.
- the present disclosure also relates to coated articles having improved corrosion and wear resistance.
- parts are often used under load in harsh environments. To extend their service life, these parts can be covered with various coatings.
- the most commonly used coating is a hard chromium coating formed by galvanic methods.
- chromium coatings deposited by galvanic methods can be porous, which may lead to the corrosion of the parts over time.
- chromium coatings do not form strong chemical bonds with metal substrates. Thus under challenging conditions, delamination can occur reducing the lifetime of the hard chromium coating.
- galvanic processes, including hard chrome plating can cause hydrogen embrittlement within the coating, which may reduce the fatigue strength of the coating by up to 50% and limits the possibility of using the process to recoat used parts that have previously been coated with chromium coatings. Therefore materials and processes that are effective to improve the reliability and long-term performance of the coatings on metallic articles would be well-received in the art. It would be a further advantage if such processes can be used to refurbish used parts.
- a process of coating a metallic article comprises depositing a metallic coating powder to a surface of a metallic article; applying an energy beam to the deposited metallic coating powder to at least partially melt the metallic coating powder while moving the energy beam and/or the metallic article to have a relative velocity of at or between about 15 meters/minute to about 60 meters/minute; and cooling the melted metallic coating powder to form a coating layer on the surface of the metallic article.
- the energy beam is a laser.
- the metallic coating powder is fed coaxially with the energy beam.
- the coating layer has a thickness of about 10 microns to about 100 microns.

- the metallic coating powder can be supplied to a surface of the metallic article to be coated as the laser or other beam source is applied and moved over the surface of the metallic articles.
- the metallic coating powder is coaxially fed with a laser beam, and the laser beam is moved along with the powder supply as a coating layer is formed.
- an energy beam such as an electromagnetic beam from an energy source such as a laser is applied to the metallic powder to fuse the powder.
- the metallic coating powder is at least partially melted before contacting the surface of the metallic particle. In an embodiment, greater than about 50 wt.%, greater than about 80 wt.%, or greater than 80 wt.% but less than 95 wt.% of the metallic coating powder is melted by the energy beam.
- the energy beam can have a linear energy of about 2 x 10 -3 kJ/mm to about 10 x 10 -3 kJ/mm, or about 3 x 10 -3 kJ/mm to about 8 x 10 -3 kJ/mm.
- the melted coating powder can be cooled forming a coating layer.
- layer is a term of convenience that includes any shape, regular or irregular, having at least a predetermined thickness.
- the thickness of a coating layer can vary widely depending on the process parameters. In some embodiments the thickness of a coating layer as formed is about 10 microns to about 100 microns, about 10 microns to about 80 microns, or about 12 microns to about 70 microns.

- FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B are pictures of a piston rod coated with STELLITE 6 by a high speed laser deposition process.
- FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B are pictures of landing gears having coated piston rods thereon.
- the first stage of the work was to develop the parameters of the process on a cylindrical element with an outside diameter of 84 mm and a length of 160 mm, which is a representation of a fragment of the piston rod of a chassis.
- the sleeve was made of heat treated and surface hardened steel AISI 4330 AMS6411.
- the chemical composition used is shown in Table 1.
- the MetcoClad 6F was a spheroidal powder obtained by gas atomization.
- the grain size was within the range of 20/53 microns. Table 1.
- the optimization process was carried out in the form of strips of a 10 mm wide cladded coating.
- the coating thus obtained was cladded along the entire length of the sleeve in order to evaluate the thermal processes occurring on the surface of the heated substrate material and the effect of heating the element with a laser beam on the geometrical properties of the coating.
- the coating was obtained in one pass.
- the height of the cladding layer decreased slightly to 224 microns.
- a greater amount of energy delivered to the substrate material has increased the depth of the heat affected zone to less than 700 microns.
- the sleeve with a laser deposited coating was subjected to a series of nondestructive tests, including MT, PT, and a porosity test with potassium ferrocyanide.
- the sleeve was subjected to a sanding process to obtain Ra 0.32 and a coat thickness of 50-100 microns.
- the thickness of the coating after sanding was determined by the requirements for the reference coating of hard chrome and the structural requirements of the target chassis component.
- One of the ways of influencing these properties of the coating is to control the size of the microstructure using the cooling speed, which can be implemented by changing the cladding speed.
- the cooling speed which can be implemented by changing the cladding speed.
- an increase in the welding speed results in a significant grain refinement.
- the experiments show that it is possible to use high speed laser deposition to produce a coating that is an alternative to plated hard chrome coating.
- UHSCL ultra-high speed laser cladding
- the main characteristic of the process is the application of a much higher relative velocity of beam motion and the object to be welded. After an increase in the efficiency of surfacing, this treatment also offers higher cooling rates of the applied coating material, which results in the formation of a shredded microstructure and an increase in hardness.
- the narrowing of the powder stream should be above the cladded element to allow the powder to partially melt before contacting the substrate.
- the difference between a low speed laser deposition and a high speed laser deposition include the following.
- the energy is focused on the substrate, i.e., the metallic article to be coated, and the powder temperature can be relatively low such that the powder does not melt or less than 20 wt.% of the powder melts.
- the energy is focused on the powder, and the powder temperature can be relative high such that greater than 80 wt.% of the powder melts during the coating process.
- FIG. 1 A schematic view of an exemplary system for high speed cladding is shown in FIG. 1 .
- the system (200) includes a laser source (101), a powder feeder (201), a speed controller (301), a lathe (601), a robot controller (401), and a six-axis robot (501).
- a laser source 101
- a powder feeder 201
- a speed controller 301
- a lathe (601
- a robot controller 401
- a six-axis robot 501
- the ERBA Compact 300 universal lathe as shown in FIG. 2 was used.
- the spindle speed of the lathe and the linear speed of the laser head have been coupled using a microprocessor system and the Lab View application.
- the same component as for a low speed laser deposition, sleeve 84x160 mm from material AISI 4330 AMS6411 was selected for the tests.
- the basic parameters for verifying the process correctness were the coating without cracks, porosities and surface defects.
- test coatings with a width of 12 mm were made at a speed of 50 m/min.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 The optical path of shaping the laser beam has been configured in such a way as to obtain a spot in the focus of 1.5 mm.
- the coatings differed in the number of layers of additive material applied, the powder feed rate being 36.8 g/min. However, the powder density and linear energy were constant and were 1.7 x 105 W/cm 2 and 3.6 x 10 -3 kJ/min respectively.
- the thickness of the coating increases, with the thickness of one layer remaining constant at 13 microns.
- the number of layers to be cladded also does not affect the enlargement of the heat affected zone, which is within 110-130 microns.
- the increase in the welding speed also increases the micohardness of the coating.
- the measured average microhardness of HV0.1 increases when the number of the layers increases ( FIG. 6 ).
- the welding speed was reduced to 20 m/min, therefore, the linear energy increased to 7.5 x 10-3 kJ/mm.
- the number of layers up to 3 was also limited.
- Metallographic decomposition ( FIG. 8 ) of the obtained coating and penetration tests showed no cracks or surface defects.
- the thickness of a single coating layer increased to 70 microns.
- the obtained coating was cladded along the entire length of 160 mm sleeve to assess the influence of thermal processes occurring on the surface of heated substrate material and the impact of heating the element with a laser beam on the geometrical properties of the coating.
- a coating was obtained with a constant layer height, without visible surface defects and cracks, which was confirmed in the penetration test.
- the CRK, CRICK 120 penetrant and the CRK CRICK 130 pen-maker were used for the test.
- the STELLITE 6 coating obtained as a result of high speed laser cladding is characterized not only by the similar layer height, but also by a half of the lower heat affected zone and much higher microhardness at the level of 800HV0.1.
- the deposition time with respect to a low speed laser deposition process was reduced by almost 17 times.
- FIGS. 9A and 9B show the test element immediately after the laser deposition process. The component has previously been subjected to a strengthening heat treatment.
- Parts coated by a high speed laser deposition process are heat treated, sanded and polished to obtain a roughness of Ra 0.16. During a magnetic test, no flaws or cracks were detected.
- FIG. 12 schematically illustrates a rotary-wing aircraft 10, such as a helicopter for example, having parts cladded using the high speed laser deposition process according an aspect of the invention.
- the aircraft 10 includes an airframe 12 having an extending tail 14 which mounts a tail rotor system 16, such as an anti-torque system for example.
- Landing gear (not labelled) are attached to the airframe and are cladded using the high speed laser deposition process according an aspect of the invention.
- a main rotor assembly 18 is driven about an axis of rotation 20.
- a drive shaft 22 operably couples the main rotor assembly to a power source, such as an engine (illustrated schematically at 24) for example, through a main gearbox (illustrated schematically at 26).
- the main rotor system 18 includes a plurality of rotor blades 30 mounted to a rotor hub 28.
- a particular helicopter configuration is illustrated and described in the disclosed non-limiting embodiment, other configurations and/or machines, such as high speed compound rotary wing aircraft with supplemental translational thrust systems, dual contra-rotating coaxial rotor system aircraft, multirotor, turboprops, tilt-rotors, tilt-wing aircraft, and fixed wing aircraft such as the M28 will also benefit from the present invention.
