- Coatings with several combinations of strength and plasticity were manufactured using LCD by adding different proportions of Fe–Cr–B–Si–Mo powder to 410L powder, which are available for the repair of various kinds of steel parts.
- The microstructural morphologies of the deposited 410L alloy chiefly consisted of large, elongated ferrite grains and a small number of martensite grains distributed around the ferrite grain boundary, and it has low strength and good ductility.
- There were fine equiaxed ferrite grains and eutectic microstructures composed of ferrite and Fe2B/Cr2B in the deposited Fe–Cr–B–Si–Mo alloy, and no martensite phases were observed. The alloy has high strength and low ductility.
- With the increasing mass fraction of Fe–Cr–B–Si–Mo in the 410L alloy, the ferrite grains became finer, and the volume fraction of the eutectic increased. Moreover, the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength increased, and the elongation decreased.
- AISI 1060 steel was successfully repaired by 410L + 12.5% Fe–Cr–B–Si–Mo via LCD, and the mechanical properties of the substrate + deposited alloy were similar to those of the AISI 1060 steel substrate. This shows that tailoring the mechanical properties of laser cladding-deposited alloys with a mixture of 410L alloy and Fe–Cr–B–Si–Mo alloy powders for steel repairing is a feasible solution.
