Research Progress of Remanufacturing Technology in the Field of Construction Machinery

Excavator bucket teeth are often in direct contact with abrasive particles in the soil during work, resulting in the tip being severely worn. This study used laser cladding to synthesize (Ti, Nb)C reinforced coatings on the surface of Q550 steel of bucket teeth of commonly used excavators to improve the wear resistance, and researches the effects of different Ti, Nb, Cr3C2 powder ratios on the hardness, wear resistance, and wear loss of laser cladding (Ti, Nb)C reinforced coatings. The results show that the optimal powder ratio is 80% Ni-based + 1.26% Ti + 7.54% Nb + 11.2% Cr3C2. Under the optimal powder ratio, the hardness of the coating is 213.4 HV, the wear amount is 32.7 mg, and the wear failure form is abrasive wear and slight adhesive wear.
