Investigation of the Heat-Affected Zone Properties During Cladding of Power Equipment with Austenitic Materials Using Control Mechanical Impacts on the Strip Electrode

Abstract

During cladding an austenitic layer on low-carbon and medium-alloyed steels, the properties of the heat-affected zone, along with the resistance of the surface layer to resist corrosion, largely determine the performance and durability of the surfaced product. The work is devoted to the study of the dependence of the properties of the heat-affected zone during cladding of power equipment with austenitic materials on the parameters of the control mechanical impacts on the strip electrode and determination of their optimal range, which ensures high values of the mechanical properties of the deposited layer.
