A Comparative Study on Corrosion Resistance of using Copper and Nickel Buttering Layer on Low Carbon Steel while Cladding with Austenitic Stainless Steel
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Cladding has established itself to be a popular, versatile, easy and cost-effective way to enhance the corrosion/erosion property as well as mechanical properties of the job surface materials. Among the several methods cladding by welding is one of the most suitable methods preferred by the industries. Cladding by gas metal arc welding is becoming more popular due to its simplicity, user-friendliness and cost-effectiveness for last few decades. Cladding is basically a dissimilar welding process in which weldibility of individual material can be enhanced by another buttering layer on the base material so that it becomes as a sand-witch. Here in the present experiment 316 Steel is been deposited on E350 low carbon fabrication steel in three ways, firstly with no coating and then coated by Copper and Nickel respectively. Cladding is done in all cases applying gas metal arc welding process using full CO2 shielding atmosphere. Heat input was varying by altering welding current and torch travel speed within a particular range (almost the same for all cases) keeping welding voltage constant during the cladding of each type sample. Three types of clad samples were undergone to accelerated corrosion test in chloride atmosphere and the corresponding microstructure has been analyzed. Results indicate improvement in corrosion resistance of clad parts most in case of nickel buttering layer than that of copper buttering layer and so also for non-coated low carbon steel specimens.
