Abstract

Industry X.0 is the new paradigm that is the driving phenomenon in the process of making things and the new method in which they are produced. In this work, we attempt to fabricate ceramic layer reinforced metal matrix composite (MMC) of AISI 316 L by a two-step laser process. The SiC-Ni-Ti layer on AISI316L serves to improve wear properties. The reinforcement of SiC-Ni-Ti on AISI316L modified the phase structure and microstructure. Coatings of metal-ceramic powders of 40 % SiC-40 %Ti-20 % Ni and 60 % SiC-30 %Ti-10 % Ni was preplaced on 316 L specimens. High power laser was used to irradiate the preplaced coatings to form MMCs of metal-ceramic particles. The composition of the MMC layer was studied by using optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and its microstructure of the MMC layers, phase analysis and its elemental analysis were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry, and image analyzing techniques, respectively. The formation of non-uniformity of coating thickness, microporous and crack formation at layer of MMC, revealed that a higher percentage of ceramic particles present in the MMC layer entails a particular disadvantage. The results confirmed the high hardness of the surface due to particle refinement with dispersion of hard SiC particle and precipitation of Cr2C3/Fe2Si in the matrix that results the improved wear resistance of laser clad material.
