The Influence of Adding B4C and CeO2 on the Mechanical Properties of Laser Cladding Nickel-Based Coatings on the Surface of TC4 Titanium Alloy

The development of titanium alloys is limited by issues such as low hardness, poor wear resistance, and sensitivity to adhesive wear. Using laser cladding technology to create high-hardness wear-resistant coatings on the surface of titanium alloys is an economical and efficient method that can enhance their surface hardness and wear resistance. This paper presents the preparation of two types of nickel-based composite coatings, Ni60-Ti-Cu-xB
