Abstract
Laser surface alloying with gaseous nitrogen was utilized to improve the we ar resistance of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Wear-resistant composite coatings reinf orced by hard TiN dendrites were produced 'in-situ' on a substrate of a Ti- 6Al-4V alloy. The hardness and wear resistance of the laser alloyed coating under two-body abrasive and block-on-ring full-sliding wear conditions wer e significantly enhanced. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.
