Microstructure and dynamic mechanical properties of laser alloyed coating on 97W surface by Lijuan ZHENG, Jiwei WANG, Mengqin CHEN, Yuming FU

“…The results show that the composite coating containing 2% C3N4 generates complex carbides and nitrides such as (Fe, Cr)4W2N and (Fe, Cr)3W3C, and the microstructure presents a regular reticular structure with more uniform element distribution and smaller grain size; the average microhardness of the fusion-coated layer reaches 2.3 times that of the 97 W matrix; the addition of the composite coating improves the degree of strain reinforcement in the overall structural material, but the strain rate sensitivity of the overall material is reduced, and the overall structure fails in the form of W particle disintegration under the strain rate loading of 3500 s−1.…”
