Abstract: Effect of adding of rare earth oxide CeO2 on properties of Al-Ti coating on aluminum alloy by laser cladding was studied. Firstly, the effects of lap ratio on microstructure, microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings were analyzed. Then, the effects of CeO2 on the properties of the coatings were studied under the condition of 40% lap ratio. The results show that the properties of the coating are the best when the lap ratio is 40%.The microhardness is 284.82 HV0.3, which is 106% higher than that of the substrate; the friction coefficient is 0.440, which is 32% lower than that of the substrate; the wear rate is reduced to 0.0105 mm3·N-1·m-1.The grain size is refined and the microhardness and wear resistance of the coating are greatly improved by adding CeO2. When the content of CeO2 is 8%, the overall properties of the coating is the best. The microhardness is 305.58 HV0.3, which is increased by 7.3% than that without CeO2; the friction coefficient is almost the same as before, but the wear rate is only 0.0087 mm3·N-1·m-1, which is 17% lower than that without CeO2.
