Abstract:

Titanium carbide (TiC x ) reinforced titanium matrix composite coating was synthesized in situ by coaxial powder feeding laser cladding technology. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer, microhardness tester, and other characterization and testing methods were used. Combined with first principles, the intrinsic relationship between the addition of NiCr-Cr3C2, and the microstructure and microhardness of the composite coating was studied. Moreover, the influence of C/Ti atomic ratio on the mechanical properties and thermodynamic stability of TiC x was explored. The results showed that the microstructure of the composite coating is mainly composed of β-Ti ordered solid solution (matrix phase) and TiC x (reinforcing phase). The addition of NiCr-Cr3C2 has significant effect on the quantity, scale and morphological characteristics of titanium carbide in the composite coating, and the microstructure of titanium carbide in the upper and lower areas of the composite coating is significantly different. The C/Ti atomic ratio of TiC x is highly correlated with its morphology. TiC x in composite coating mainly includes irregular TiC0.2-0.4, dendritic TiC0.4-0.6, petal TiC0.6-0.8, and spherical TiC0.8-1.0. In addition, with the increase of the addition of NiCr-Cr3C2, the hardness of the composite coating increased significantly, which is mainly due to the formation of more TiC x, the increase of C content in TiC x and the more remarkable solid solution strengthening effect. First-principles analysis showed that with the increase of C/Ti atomic ratio, the bulk modulus, shear modulus, tensile modulus, and hardness of TiC x increased significantly, while Poisson’s ratio decreased gradually. In addition, with the increase of C atom content in TiC x, its metallicity decreases and its brittleness increases, but its crystal structure and thermodynamic stability significantly increase.
