Cladding is a process of depositing a thick layer of a metal surface to a carbon steel or low alloy steel base metal for the purpose of providing a corrosion-resistant surface when that surface is to be exposed to a corrosive environment. Clad metals are more prone to corrosion attacks as compared to base metals because they are compositionally and microstructurally in homogeneous. Claddings require a proper evaluation of their corrosion resistance in order to ensure that they are suitable for the desired applications. This paper focuses on an experimental study of duplex stainless steel cladding of low carbon structural steel deposited by flux cored arc welding process. In this research work, double-loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation technique was employed to evaluate the intergranular corrosion resistance of the claddings. The effect of heat input on intergranular corrosion resistance is presented in graphical forms, which are very useful to control the corrosion resistance of the claddings.Keywords

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) offers high quality weld deposit that becomes suitable for higher alloy contents with low rate of deposition. Hot wire GTAW is a further development of the GTAW process which is used in industries that need high quality welding with high productivity. It is essential to have an automated welding machine in pump industries to increase productivity and quality which can also make the work easier for a welder. GTAW welding with hot wire for circumferential seam welding of motor body is a major development for pump industries which is required for good quality welding and mass production of the pump motor body. So it has been planned and designed a Special Purpose Welding Machine for Circumferential Seam Welding of Motor Body which will be a major challenge for all pump industries with latest technologies at low cost with respect to the current market scenario and also the customer requirements by analyzing and implementing their needs.Keywords

Weld cladding is a process of depositing a thick layer of metal surface to a carbon steel base metal for the purpose of providing a corrosion resistant surface when that surface is to be exposed to a corrosive environment. In cladding process, most of the engineers often face the problem of selecting optimum combination of input process parameters for achieving the required clad quality. This problem can be solved by using Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique to optimize the process parameters to achieve minimum dilution and penetration, maximum bead width and reinforcement. This paper focuses on an optimization of input process parameters in duplex stainless steel cladding of low carbon structural steel plates deposited by Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW).

Weld cladding is a process of depositing a thick layer of a metal surface to a carbon steel base metal for the purpose of providing a corrosion-resistant surface when that surface is to be exposed to a corrosive environment. In order to maintain the required corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the claddings, controlling the microstructure is essential. This paper focuses on an experimental study of duplex stainless steel cladding of low carbon structural steel deposited by flux cored arc welding process. Colour metallographic technique was used to study the microstructure of the clad layer cladded under two different heat input conditions with the help of optical microscope.

Resistance to pitting corrosion is commonly expressed by Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN). During duplex stainless steel weld cladding, pitting resistance balance is disturbed by the formation of intermetallic precipitates, or by excessive precipitation of secondary austenite in surface regions. Redistribution of alloying elements as a result of such transformations may lead to local reductions in pitting resistance. Hence, control of PREN is very important to maintain the required pitting resistance. This paper highlights an experimental study and analysis of various welding parameters influencing PREN in duplex stainless steel cladding deposited by Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW). The experiments were conducted based on four-factor five level central composite rotatable design and a mathematical model was developed to predict PREN. The effects of welding parameters on PREN have been presented in graphical form, which helps in selecting appropriate welding parameters to obtain the desired PREN quickly.
