Abstract

A corrosion resistant Ni2Si/Ni3Si2 silicide alloy coating was fabricated on a substrate of low carbon steel A3 by laser cladding of the Ni76Si24 alloy powders. The laser clad silicide alloy coating has a rapidly solidified homogeneous microstructure consisting of plate-like Ni2Si primary phase and minor amount of Ni 2Si/Ni3Si2 eutectics and is metallurgically bonded to the steel substrate. The corrosion resistances of the silicide alloy coating in the water solutions of 0.5mol/I H2SO4 and 3.5% NaCl were evaluated utilizing the electrochemical polarization corrosion-test method. Because of the inherent excellent corrosion-resisting properties of the constituting phases Ni2Si and Ni3Si2, and the rapidly solidified homogeneous microstructure, the laser clad Ni 2Si/Ni3Si2 silicide alloy coating exhibits excellent corrosion resistance.
