【 摘 要 】

In this study, four protective coating materials: Inconel 718, Inconel 625, Alloy 33 and Stellite 6 were deposited on 16Mo3 steel tubes by means of CMT (Cold Metal Transfer), as an advanced version of MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding method. In the next step, the surface of the deposited coating was remelted by means of TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding method. SEM microstructure of coatings–substrate has been reported, and an EDX-researched chemical composition of the coatings was compared to the nominal chemical composition. The hardness distribution in the cross-section was performed, which revealed that among investigated coatings, Stellite 6 layer is the hardest, at about 500 HV0.2. Other materials such as Inconel 625, Inconel 718 and Alloy 33 represented a cladded zone hardness about 250 HV0.2. Stellite 6 layer had the lowest wear resistance in the dry sand/rubber wheel test, and Stellite 6 layer had the highest wear resistance in the erosive blasting test. This proved the existence of different wear mechanisms in the two test methods used. In the dry sand/rubber wheel test, the Alloy 33 and Inconel 718 only represented higher wear resistance than substrate 16Mo3 steel. In abrasive blasting tests all coatings had higher wear resistance than 16Mo3 steel; however, Stellite 6 coatings represented an approximately 5 times higher durability than other investigated (Inconel 625, Inconel 718, and Alloy 33) coatings.
