Ni60 coating was prepared on Q235 steel substrate by laser cladding. The effects of laser power and cladding speed on the forming quality and microstructure of the coatings were investigated. The results indicate that laser power and cladding speed change the temperature of the melt pool
and then affect the surface forming quality of the coating. With the increase of laser power
the surface forming quality of the coating increases and defects decrease. This is mainly attributed to the increase of laser energy which promotes the fuller melting and better melt pool flow. In addition
the thickness of the bonding zone increases first and then decreases with the increase of laser power. A lower melting speed is beneficial for obtaining coatings with good surface forming quality. However
as the melting rate increases
defects such as pores begin to appear in the coating
which is due to the rapid cooling rate of the melt pool and insufficient fusion. The thickness of the bonding zone has not changed significantly
and a certain degree of looseness and coarsening appear in the microstruture.
