The invention discloses a
laser cladding method for preparing a
nickel-based heat-resisting and wear-resisting
coating on the surface of a
zirconium alloy. The
laser cladding method comprises the steps of
polishing and washing the surface of a
zirconium alloy matrix to be subjected to
laser cladding; fully mixing
nickel-based
alloy powder and an organic binder, blending into a uniform paste, and uniformly
coating the paste on the surface of the
zirconium alloy matrix to be subjected to laser cladding in advance; introducing
argon in advance before performing laser cladding; performing single-channel
radiation scanning cladding on a
powder pre-placing area on the surface of the
zirconium alloy matrix by using
laser beams, wherein technological parameters are as follows: the laser power is 2.0-3.8kW, the beam spot
diameter is 5mm, the scanning speed is 3-5mm / s, the
shielding gas flow rate is 8-15L / min, the laser cladding process is continuously operated, and the
dilution rate is not more than 10%. By adopting the laser cladding method disclosed by the invention, the
nickel-based heat-resisting and wear-resisting
coating is prepared in situ on the surface of the
zirconium alloy by using a laser in-situ cladding technique; the laser cladding method is simple and easy in operation process,
noise-free, environment-friendly and
pollution-free, and can reduce the
energy consumption and production cost; the wear-resisting coating is excellent in performance, and can meet operating requirements.
