Abstract

Rapidly solidified TiC type MC carbide morphologies were studied as a function of cooling rate using a Nd-YAG pulsed laser surface alloying with carbon. At a low cooling rate, the carbide morphology was well-developed dendrite. As the solidification cooling rate increased, the growth morphology of MC carbide changed to cross-petal-like with symmetrical arms and irregular block or undeveloped dendrite.
