Preparation and Properties Study of Laser Cladding of Ni-based Alloy on Copper

In order to improve the surface Performance of thick copperplate, A Ni- Cr alloy coating metallurgically bonded onto thick copperplate is performed by YAG laser remelting plasma spraying coating process. In laser cladding processing, it is difficult to get good metallurgical bonding between the layer and copperplate. Plasma spraying technology is developed to get a alloy layer on the surface of thick copperplate, and then using YAG laser cladding method to make a coating. The results of Micro organization analysis indicate that the cladding layer and substrate form favorable metallurgical bonding, as a narrow metallurgical bonding zone, about 3 mu m in thickness. The structure is more compact compared with witch of plasma spraying coating, and the crystal grains are refined grain.
