The paper focuses on the possibility of HPDC molds restoration for aluminium casting by laser and MAG weld cladding with a welding wire of the same grade like the base material. A chemical analysis of the weld deposits showed a decrease in the content of some elements in the MAG deposit due to the higher thermal input to the weld bath. The lower heat input of laser welding has resulted in a higher incidence of fusion defects lack between the weld deposit and the base material. Thermal conditions during welding affected hardness of weld deposits and their abrasive resistance as well. The resistance of materials against dissolution when immersed in AlSi8Cu3 alloy was similar for both deposits and the base metal.
Abstract
Deltalloy 4032 has good machinability and drilling characteristics when using single-point or multispindle screw machines and an excellent surface finish using polycrystalline or carbide tooling. The alloy demonstrates superior wear resistance and may eliminate the need for hard coat anodizing. Deltalloy 4032 is characterized by high strength and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as machining and surface treatment. Filing Code: AL-347. Producer or source: ALCOA Wire, Rod & Bar Division.
Abstract
Tribaloy alloy T-900 is a cobalt-base alloy derived from an alloy family originally developed by DuPont. Excessive amounts of molybdenum and silicon induce the formatin during solidification of a hard and corrosion-resistant intermetallic coumpound, known as Laves phase. This alloy had improved crack resistance and a lower preheat temperature compared with Tribaloy T-800 (Alloy Digest Co-99, September 1996). This datasheet provides information on composition, microstructure, and hardness. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance. Filing Code: CO-100.

ELECTROLESS NICKEL is a nickel coating deposited by chemical reduction of nickel ions. The most widely used reducing agent is sodium hypophosphite. The thickness of the deposited coating is uniform over all areas of the work-piece that are in continuous contact with fresh plating solution. The process is applicable to a wide variety of metal and nonmetal substrates. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as heat treating and joining. Filing Code: Ni-332. Producer or source: Occidental Chemical Corporation.
Abstract
Olin C197 is a second-generation high performance alloy developed by Olin Brass. It has a strength and bend formability similar to C194 (see Alloy Digest Cu-360, September 1978), but with 25% higher electrical and thermal conductivity. High conductivity allows C197 to replace brasses and bronzes in applications where high current-carrying capability is required. Also, the strength of C197 provides higher contact forces when substituted for many lower strength coppers. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as forming and joining. Filing Code: CU-627. Producer or source: Olin Brass.

Abstract
TRIBALOY 400 consists of a hard, intermetallic phase in a softer, cobalt-base alloy matrix. It can be cast or hardfaced. As alloy powder it can be plasma sprayed or blended with other powders for P/M (Powder/Metallurgy) processing. Uses include anti-wear surfaces and bearings or seals operating in corrosive media. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, tensile properties, and compressive strength as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Co-72. Producer or source: Tribaloy Products.
