The Finite Element Modulation of Thermostressed State of Coating Formation at Electric Contact Surfacing of “Shaft” Type Parts

Abstract

The finite element modulation of forming of coating at electric contact surfacing is provided. This model considers distribution of thermal properties and geometric parameters along the thermal deformation zone during the process of electric contact surfacing by tapes. It is found that the change of the value of the speed asymmetry factor leads to increasing of the friction coefficient in the zone of surfacing which is caused by the increasing of the tangential contact stresses in the zone of contact of the electrode tape with the surface of the part. This leads to the forming of the coating with higher adhesion strength, and thereby the higher quality of the restored part under the lower operating regimes such as current pulse, force of the roller electrode, and duration of the current pulse is achieved. Mentioned above allows to decrease the thermal influence on the structure of the material.
