Abstract

As one of the important methods for surface modification of materials and life extension of key components, cemented carbide brazing coatings are widely used in agricultural machinery, oil drilling, aerospace and other fields, it has also attracted the attention of scholars in the field of surface modification at home and abroad. Based on the research reports of recent 20 years at home and abroad, the present research situation of cemented carbide brazed coating additive manufacturing technology are reviewed firstly. The research progress in preparation and performance control of cemented carbide/iron-base, cemented carbide/copper-base, cemented carbide/nickel-base, cemented carbide/silver-base heterogeneous brazing coatings are reviewed in detail. Then the practical applications of cemented carbide heterogenous brazing coatings in the fields of contact soil agricultural machinery parts life extension, aviation parts repair, surface function strengthening and so on are reviewed. In this review, the limitation of the research of cemented carbide heterogenous braze coating technology is discussed. The deficiencies in the research and development of cemented carbide heterogenous braze coating technology are summarized including cemented carbide heterogeneous additive materials and technology need to be expanded, the structure of cemented carbide heterogeneous brazing coatings need to be optimized, the mechanism of interface defects in cemented carbide heterogeneous brazing coatings need to be clarified. Finally, the future development direction of braze coating technology is prospected, too.
