Abstract
This study examines the mechanical and tribological properties of FeCrMoCB amorphous coatings on AISI 52100 bearing steel using laser cladding (LC). Two samples with varying LC parameters were compared to uncoated polished steel. Analytical methods included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness testing and tribological tests via a high-frequency reciprocating rig (HFRR) tribometer under both dry and lubricated conditions, were employed. Sample S1 exhibited a microhardness five times that of uncoated steel and a 95 % reduction in wear volume loss under dry conditions. Under grease-lubricated, S1 showed a 20 % reduction in the coefficient of friction and a 93 % reduction in wear volume loss. Sample S2 also outperformed uncoated steel. These results highlight the significant benefits of FeCrMoCB coatings.
