Microstructure and Tribological Properties of Ti5Si3 Coating In-situ Synthesized on Titanium Substrate by Laser Cladding

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2012.11661

Abstract

Abstract: Using silicon powder as the precursor to improve the wear resistance of Ti₅Si₃ coating was in situ successfully synthesized on Ti substrate by laser cladding. Friction and wear behavior of Ti₅Si₃ coatings under different normal loads and sliding speeds wear test conditions were evaluated using a UMT-2MT friction and wear tester. It is found that the prepared coating is mainly composed of Ti₅Si₃ and Ti phases. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy results confirm further the existence of Ti₅Si₃ compound in the prepared coating. Ti₅Si₃ coating has spherical and block-like microstructure. The Ti₅Si₃ coating shows a high average hardness of approximately 840 HV_0.2, which is about 4.4 times as that of Ti substrate. Tribological properties of the prepared Ti₅Si₃ coating were systematically evaluated. It is found that the Ti₅Si₃coating can improve the wear resistance of Ti. The wear mechanism of Ti₅Si₃ coating is abrasive and adhesive wear when sliding against GCr15 steel ball under all wear conditions.
