Comparative investigation of microstructural evolution, phase formation, mechanical performance, wear and corrosion behavior of Ni–Co-, W- and AlN-reinforced laser-cladded coatings on ASTM C283 steel
Laser cladding has emerged as an effective surface engineering technique for enhancing the durability of carbon steels operating in aggressive environments. In this study, the effects of Ni–Co, W, and AlN laser-cladded coatings on the microstructure, phase evolution, mechanical properties, tribological behavior, and co...
