Strengthening Effect of Incremental Shear Deformation on Ti Alloy Clad Plate with a Ni-Based Alloy Laser-Clad Layer

A Ti-6Al-4V alloy clad plate with a Tribaloy 700 alloy laser-clad layer is subjected to incremental shear deformation, and we evaluate the structural evolution and mechanical properties of the specimens. Results indicate the significance of the incremental shear deformation on the strengthening effect. The wear resistance and Vickers hardness of the laser-clad layer are enhanced due to increased dislocation density. The incremental shear deformation can increase the bonding strength of the laser-clad layer and the corresponding substrate and can break the columnar crystals in the laser-clad layer near the interface. These phenomena suggest that shear deformation eliminates the defects on the interface of the laser-clad layer and the substrate. Substrate hardness is evidently improved, and the strengthening effect is caused by the increased dislocation density and shear deformation. This deformation can then transform the α- and β-phases in the substrate into a high-intensity ω-phase.
