The main difference between the samples clad onto the two different substrates was the microstructure and hardness of the heat affected zone. The effect of processing speed on cladded layer height, depth of penetration and dilution has been examined. Microhardness profiles of the cladded layer and heat affected zone were determined. The cladding samples were characterised using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).
Stellite 6 multi-track layers were laser cladded on mild and AISI 4016 steel substrates with a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser at 1800 W laser source power using four different processing speeds: 600, 900, 1200, and 1500 mm/min, whilst the laser power, defocused laser spot size, and powder feed rate were constant. It is proposed to use laser clad Stellite 6 as one of the bearing surfaces.
The wear life of the unlubricated AISI 1053 steel top centre against Hadfield steel is short, whilst the low friction of the lubricated and polyethylene surfaces can be detrimental to vehicle dynamics. Currently used centre bearing surfaces include AISI 1053 steel top centres mating against unlubricated and lubricated Hadfield steel, and polyethylene centre bowl liners. The level of sliding friction between the mating top centre and centre bowl liner components of a rail freight truck centre bearing provides both positive and negative effects on rail vehicle dynamics.
