Abstract
The laser melt deposition process often involves fabricating custom alloys from cost-effective elemental powder blends. However, discrepancies between the nominal ratio of the pre-mixed powders and the final composition of the deposited part are commonly observed due to variations in the material properties of the elemental powders. In this study, separate experiments were employed to investigate the relationship of deposition characteristics between individual elemental powders and elemental powder blends in the laser melt deposition process. To investigate the spatial distribution between elemental powder particles, powder flow characteristics in four different delivery systems were measured. Single-track deposition experiments were deployed to study the real powder catchment efficiency of elemental powder and the final composition of the deposited layer. In addition, a finite element model was established and validated with experimental data to predict the dilution rate and final chemical composition of the deposited layer. The experimental results indicate a strong correlation between the powder catchment efficiency of individual elemental powder and the final composition of the deposited layer. The simulation results agreed well with the actual composition of the deposited track. This study’s findings have the potential to predict and optimize the composition of the desired materials fabricated by elemental powder blends in the laser melt deposition process.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
