In this paper, in situ TiC/Ni 3 Al-Ni 3 Al multicoatings were fabricated on 316L stainless steel substrate by one-step forming technology. The phase constitutions and microstructure of multicoatings were observed through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and three-dimensional laser scanning, and their performances were studied by microhardness, wear, salt spray corrosion, cavitation erosion, thermal oxidation and hot corrosion tests. The results showed that TiC/Ni 3 Al-Ni 3 Al multicoatings and 316L powder metallurgy stainless steel substrate were formed simultaneously with metallurgical bonding by one-step forming technology. Compared with 316L stainless steel, the formed TiC/Ni 3 Al-Ni 3 Al multicoatings with higher hardness presented a better wear resistance, especially at elevated temperatures. Meanwhile, TiC/Ni 3 Al-Ni 3 Al multicoatings possessed excellent abilities to resist the corrosion and oxidation, including the salt spray corrosion, cavitation erosion and hot corrosion. The good performance of the multicoatings was attributed to the formation of continuous phases of TiC-Ni 3 Al without pores and excellent metallurgical bonding interface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
