Micro-nano composite powder dedicated for laser repair of tiny cracks in stainless steel surface

Abstract

A micro-nano composite powder dedicated for laser repair of tiny crack on stainless steel surface, includes 3 wt %-7 wt % of nano-WC, 0.5 wt %-2 wt % of nano-Al2O3, 0.2 wt %-0.8 wt % of micro-V powder and the balance of micro stainless steel powder. The stainless steel powder includes 0.08 wt % of C, 0.5 wt % of Si, 1.46 wt % of Mn, 0.03 wt % of P, 0.005 wt % of S, 19 wt % of Cr, 9.5 wt % of Ni, 0.5 wt % of Mo and the balance of Fe. The micro and nano powders are mixed through ball milling and mixed with anhydrous ethanol. The composite powder is suitable for laser repair of tiny crack on the surface of stainless steel part with high toughness requirement. After laser repair, the composite powder can be fused with the substrate, the repaired layer and the substrate are metallurgically bonded at the interface, the repaired layer contains fine grains, and therefore the compatibility and fracture property of the repaired layer are improved.
