METHOD FOR DEPOSITING A WEAR COATING ON A HIGH STRENGTH SUBSTRATE WITH AN ENERGY BEAM

摘要

A method of forming a wear-resistant coating on a surface of a substrate includes the step of depositing a material comprising a rhenium-based composition onto the substrate surface using a handheld laser deposition device. A soluble interlayer may be formed on the surface of the substrate prior to the laser deposition step, and a heat treatment may be performed after the laser deposition step.
