abstract

this paper deals with the investigation of the microstructure and hardness of steel samples cladded with satellite 6-wc composites by using gas tungsten arc welding (gtaw) process. for this purpose, steel samples were coated with unreinforced and reinforced stellite (by 20, 30 and 40 wt.% wc). the cladded samples were evaluated by metallographic studies, microhardness measurement and x-ray diffraction analysis. in order to reduce dilution and to increase the hardness, samples were coated by two layers of similar chemical composition. the results indicated that in samples cladded by reinforced stellite, with an increase in tungsten carbide content, the amount of hypoeutectic phase (γ + (γ + wc)) increased. this is accompanied by an increase in hardness.

Gas tungsten arc welding

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A const...

Optimization of gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) to develop the NiAl coating using neural networks and genetic algorithm

In this research, artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA) were used in order to produce and develop the NiAl intermetallic coating with the best wear behavior and the most value of hardness. The effect of variations of current, voltage and gas flow on the hardness and wear resistance were optimized by ANN and GA. In the following, the optimum  values of current, voltage and g...

Modeling of Transport Phenomena in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding of Ni to 304 Stainless Steel

This study investigates transport phenomena in the weld pool (WP) of gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding of Nickel to 304 stainless steel. A finite element 3D simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer of spot welding without consumable is accomplished which leads to prediction of the weld zone shape, weld penetration and dilution of alloying elements. The model includes magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD),...
