Stellites are a group of Co-Cr-C-W/Mo-containing alloys showing outstanding behavior under cavitation erosion (CE) operational conditions. The process of ion implantation can improve the CE resistance of metal alloys. This work presents the elaborated original phenomenological model of CE of nitrogen ion implanted HIP-consolidated (Hot Isostatically Pressed) cobalt alloy grade Stellite 6. The ultrasonic vibratory test rig was used for CE testing. The nitrogen ion implantation with 120 keV and fluence of 5 × 1016 N+/cm−2 improves HIPed Stellite 6 cavitation erosion resistance two times. Ion-implanted HIPed Stellite 6 has more than ten times higher CE resistance than the reference AISI 304 stainless steel sample. Comparative analysis of AFM, SEM and XRD results done at different test intervals reveals the kinetic of CE process. The model includes the surface roughness development and clarifies the meaning of cobalt-based matrix phase transformations under the nitrogen ion implantation and cavitation loads. Ion implantation modifies the cavitation erosion mechanisms of HIPed Stellite 6. The CE of unimplanted alloy starts on material loss initiated at the carbides/matrix interfaces. Deterioration starts with cobalt matrix plastic deformation, weakening the carbides restraint in the metallic matrix. Then, the cobalt-based matrix and further hard carbides are removed. Finally, a deformed cobalt matrix undergoes cracking, accelerating material removal and formation of pits and craters' growth. The nitrogen ion implantation facilitates ɛ (hcp—hexagonal close-packed)) → γ (fcc—face-centered cubic) phase transformation, which further is reversed due to cavitation loads, i.e., CE induces the γ → ɛ martensitic phase transformation of the cobalt-based matrix. This phenomenon successfully limits carbide removal by consuming the cavitation loads for martensitic transformation at the initial stages of erosion. The CE incubation stage for ion implanted HIPed Stellite 6 lasts longer than for unimplanted due to the higher initial content of γ phase. Moreover, this phase slows the erosion rate by restraining carbides in cobalt-based matrix, facilitating strain-induced martensitic transformation and preventing the surface from severe material loss.
Two alloys were used in order to extend the service life of marine engine exhaust valve head. Layers of cobalt base alloys were made of the powders with chemical composition as follow: the layer marked L12; C-1.55%; Si-1.21%; Cr-29.7%; W-9%; Ni-2%; Mo<0.01%; Fe-1.7%; Co-54.83% and the layer marked N; C-1.45%; Co-38.9%; Cr24.13%; Ni-10.43%; W-8.75%; Fe-7.64%; Mo-7.56%; Si-2.59%. Base metal was valve steel after heat treatment. It was consisted of: C-0,374%; Cr-9,34%; Mn-0.402%; Ni-0.344%; Si-2.46%; Mo-0.822%; P-0.0162%; S-0.001%. Layers on the valve faces were produced by laser cladding using the HPDL ROFIN DL020 laser. Grinding treatment is a very popular form of regeneration of seat and valve plug adhesions. Properly performed grinding operation ensures dimensional and shape accuracy of the surface from 7 to 5 accuracy class and surface roughness Ra not less than 0.16 μm, depending on the object and method of grinding. The 75H and 150S types are a significantly simplified form of valve plug face grinders. Finishing treatment was carried out with a Chris-Marine AB75H sander on a sanding stand equipped with a compressed air system - the stand was designed by the author. The sander has been set up to the surface of the valve stem so that the grinding angle of the valve faces is 30°+10°. A flat grinding wheel T1CRA54–K was used for machining. The plunge feed was 0.01 mm/rev. The thickness of the welded layer after grinding was 1.2 mm. Both valves were installed in the ship’s engine and were used in real life. After 2000 hours of operation, the valve marked N was damaged. The valve marked L12 showed no damage and was in operation for the next 1000 hours.
Nowadays, high-precision machines require lightweight materials with very high strength. Ion implantation is used to improve the mechanical strength of the material. A further paper presents the influence of manganese and nitrogen ion implantation on changes of microhardness of the surface layer of cobalt alloy. Samples were analyzed with the SEM-EDS Phenom ProX microscope. Microhardness was assessed with the Vickers method, and the loads of 1 gf (0.00981 N) and 5 gf (0.049 N) was applied using a FM-800 from Future-Tech microhardness meter. At a load of 1 gf, the penetration depth of the implanted specimens was reached not exceeding 0.5 um. At this depth, all samples showed an increase in microhardness compared to the unimplanted sample. The highest increase in microhardness was achieved after implantation of Mn ions with dose D=1∙1017 Mn+/cm2 and energy E=175 keV. The increased load on the indenter to 5 gf reduced the microhardness differences between implanted and unimplanted samples.
The paper presents research results of metal matrix composite coatings produced on S355 steel using laser cladding. Two powder mixtures Stellite-6/30% B4C and Stellite-6/30% SiC were used. The aim of this study was to determine the applicability of these materials in the production of composite coatings having a microstructure similar to sintered carbides. Applied carbides were characterized by very high hardness (B4C -3800 HV, SiC -2500 HV) and a high melting point (B4C -2763°C, SiO -2730°C).Such parameters are conducive to formation of coatings with composite microstructure. The purpose of analyzed process consisted in complete melting of matrix material, partial melting of reinforcing particles and minimal melting of substrate material. This effect has been achieved to a limited extent.

The manuscript presents microstructure, geometrical product specification and results of scratch tests performed on the interlayer of thermal barrier coating (TBC) with Rockwell’s intender. The TBC was provided by depositing two layers; metallic interlayer and external ceramic layer onto a plate coating made of cobalt alloy MAR-M509 in plasma spraying process. The surface of the casting was sandblasted with Al2O3 powder in an air stream before the TBC was introduced. Scratches were made along the cross-section from a mould material (MAR-M509) through metallic interlayer and external ceramic layer in the TBC. Friction force, friction factor and acoustic emission were recorded during the test. It has been proved that metallic interlayer in the TBC of ca. 200 μm thickness forms tough coating without pores with good cohesion values and very good adhesion values to the mould.

Thermo-physical properties are the critical input parameters in computational models of solidification and casting simulations. In thermodynamics, the enthalpy is quotient of thermodynamic potential of a system, which can be used to calculate the useful work obtainable from a closed thermodynamic system under constant pressure. Differential thermal analysis has been used to study melting and solidification paths in the cobalt based superalloy FSX-414. The temperature enthalpy curve was determined from differential thermal analysis curves obtained from solidification curves. A solidification simulation of a cobalt base multi-component alloy casting was carried out to predict cooling and shrinkage porosity in the casting of a turbine engine vane segment. The effect of latent heat on the heat transfer calculation was considered by enthalpy method.
