Abstract

A Cr-Ni-Mo overlayer was deposited on the surface of compacted graphite iron (CGI) by the plasma transferred arc (PTA) alloying technique. The microstructure of Cr-Ni-Mo overlayer was characterized by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Results show that the cross-section consists of four regions: alloying zone (AZ), molten zone (MZ), heat affected zone (HAZ), and the substrate (SUB). The microstructure of AZ mainly consists of cellular γ-(Fe,Ni) solid solution, residual austenite and a network of eutectic Cr7C3 carbide while the MZ area has a typical feature of white cast iron (M3C-type cementite). The martensite/ledeburite double shells are observed in the HAZ. With decreasing the concentration of Cr-Ni-Mo alloys, the fracture mode changes from ductile in the AZ to brittle in the MZ. The maximum hardness of the AZ (450 HV0.2) is lower than that of the MZ (800 HV0.2). The eutectic M3C and M7C3 carbides increase the microhardness, while the austenite decreases that of the AZ.
