Titanium alloy has extensive applications in numerous fields, such as in aerospace, shipbuilding, petrochemical, and bio-medical. However, under the condition of high temperature (above 700 °C), it is difficult to meet the requirements of the performance of the turbine blades, piston rings, valves, etc. In this paper, the alloy powder is composed of Ni60A, TiN, Al, and Si in accordance with the proportion of 1:3:4:2 (mass ratio), and the composite coating, such as TiN, TiB, Ti₅Si₃, and Al₃Ti were synthesized on Ti-6Al-4V alloy by Yttrium Aluminium Garnet(YAG) laser. The friction and wear experiments were carried out on Ti-6Al-4V alloy and alloyed coatings at different loads (3N, 6N, 9N), and different temperatures (25 °C, 350 °C, 700 °C). The impact of load and temperature on wear performance were analyzed by analyzing the friction traces. The results showed that the abrasion loss, wear width, and depth, wear volume, and wear ratio of the alloyed coatings were less than Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and the surface of furrow was shallow and the wear was less. However, under high temperature conditions, the alloy coating wears worse than Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and the high temperature wear resistance is not ideal.

In the process of laser welding, the uneven distribution of solute elements caused by element burning loss and flow of molten pool affects the quality of joints. In this paper, butt welding experiments were conducted on the 3 mm thick Ti–6Al–4V specimens with different preset ratios of Al and Si powders by using 4 kW fiber laser. The distribution of Al solute element and its influence on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the final weld joint were investigated. The results showed that the self-diffusion of Al element and the flow of molten pool affects the alloy elements distribution in laser welding. And the microhardness of the welded joint with Ti–6Al–4V and 90% Al + 10% Si powders was significantly higher than that with only Ti–6Al–4V, with the difference of about 130HV. At the same time, in the joint with 90% Al and 10% Si powders, the acicular α’ size was finer, and basketweave microstructure was present as well. This research is helpful to better understand the distribution of Al solute element and its influence on the joint quality during laser welding of Ti–6Al–4V alloy, which provides a certain reference for improving the weld or surface properties of Ti–6Al–4V alloy during laser processing.
