Effect of Cladding Process Parameters for Mild Steel Surface Treatment
Main Article Content
Abstract
Weld cladding process is to improve the wear resistance properties by depositing a layer of wear resistance material over carbon steel plate. It is a process of combining two metals of dissimilar properties with extra fill in between the metals. Selection of process parameters for achieving the required clad bead geometry and its shape relationships is the main problem faced in the mild steel cladding. The cladded bead components quality always depends on clad bead geometry and shape of welds. In order to obtain better quality, wear resistance property of the metal should be good and also to reduce the manufacturing costs the bead parameters must be optimized. The objectives mentioned above can be achieved by developing mathematical equations to predict bead geometry. The experiments were conducted by depositing stellite6 wire on mild steel plates.
