Tribological Behavior of IN718 Superalloy Coating Fabricated by Laser Additive Manufacturing

摘要

The tribological behavior of laser manufactured IN718 superalloy coating are investigated with different applied loads, sliding speeds and lubricating mediums. The wear resistance of laser manufactured IN718 coating is increased by heat treatment due to higher microhardness and homogeneous brittle phase distribution. The principal factors for the wear rate are applied load and lubricating medium. The worn surface of laser manufactured IN718 coating consists of the grooves, crack, wear debris and material delamination generated by the fatigue wear associated with adhesive wear and abrasive wear. The friction coefficients are influenced by the tribological noise decrescence by the tribo-oxidant and the liquid lubricant. The real contact temperature between coating sample and frictional counterpart is higher than the solid-solution temperature of IN718 superalloy, and the effect of surface contact temperature on the orientational microstruc-ture and wear resistance for dry friction and wet friction process is indistinct.
