Abstract
In this paper, the water droplet erosion (WDE) performance of a typical martensitic blade material 17-4 PH (0Cr17Ni4Cu4Nb), surface strengthened laser cladding stellite and brazed stellite alloy is studied based on high-speed water jet test system. The WDE resistances from high to low are the brazed stellite alloy, laser cladding stellite alloy and 17-4 PH. For the same material, the greater the initial roughness of the target surface, the more severe is the WDE damage. Improving the surface finish of the target is conducive to the diversion and expansion of the liquid flow, prolonging the incubation period, and thus enhancing the WDE resistance.
