Tungsten inert gas (TIG) surface modification with Fe-based alloy can give protection against wear and corrosion of metallic component material. In this study, an attempt has been made to explore deposition of Fe-C-Si preplaced powders on commercial purity titanium (CP-Ti) by TIG torch melting process to improve resistance of substrate to wear. Three different powder blends with nominal composition of 97Fe2C1Si, 94Fe 4C2Si and 91Fe6C3Si were separately melted on CP-Ti using a conventional TIG welding torch produced at 100 A and energy input 1350 J/mm. Analysis of the results showed that TIG torch produced melt pools geometry with good metallurgical bonding with the substrate. The melt microstructure consisted of different TiC precipitates. Pores were conspicuously seen on the melt microstructure after surface modification with highest carbon content (94Fe 4C2Si). Both microhardness and wear property showed a significant improvement particularly after TIG coating with 94Fe4C2Si. Thus, it appears that an optimized composition of Fe-C-Si preplaced powder with 94Fe4C2Si under TIG melting was the best composition to control wear resistance and for the application of cylindrical liner.

Fe-bazlı
alaşım tungsten tesirsiz gaz (TIG), yüzey modifikasyonu aşınma
ve metalik bileşeni malzeme aşınmasına karşı koruma
sağlayabilir. Bu çalışmada, bir girişim aşınma substratın
direncini geliştirmek için TIG torç eritme işlemi ile Ticari
saflıkta bir titanyum (CP-Ti) ile ilgili tozlar önceden
yerleştirilmiş Fe-C-Si çökelmesini keşfetmek için yapılmıştır.
Üç farklı toz 97Fe2C1Si nominal bileşimi ile harmanlayarak, 94Fe
4C2Si ve 91Fe6C3Si ayrı geleneksel 100 A üretilen TIG kaynak meşale
ve enerji girişi 1350 J / mm kullanılarak CP-Ti erimiş bulundu.
Sonuçların analizi TIG meşale alt tabaka ile iyi metalurjik bağ
ile erime havuzlar geometri ürettiğini gösterdi. Eriyik mikro
farklı TiC çökeltilerin oluşuyordu. Gözenekler bariz yüksek
karbon içeriği (94Fe 4C2Si) ile yüzey modifikasyonu sonrasında
eriyik mikro görüldü. Hem mikrosertlik ve aşınma özelliği
özellikle 94Fe4C2Si ile TIG kaplama sonrası önemli bir gelişme
gösterdi. Bu nedenle, Fe-C-Si, optimize edilmiş bir bileşim olup
aşınma direncini kontrol etmek için iyi bir bileşim ve silindirik
astar uygulanması için TIG erimesi altında 94Fe4C2Si ile toz
önceden yerleştirilmiş olduğu görülmektedir.
