AbstractThe aim of this work was to investigate the microstructure and chemical composition of the transition zone between 16Mo3 steel and Inconel 625 weld overlay coating produced by the Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) method. Investigations were primarily carried out through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on thin foils prepared by FIB (Focus Ion Beam).The chemical analysis demonstrated that the amount of certain elements (Fe, Ni, Cr, Mo, Nb) in the transition zone between the base material and the weld overlay changes quickly, from the composition of the steel to the composition of the composite zone. STEM and TEM investigations revealed that two areas are clearly visible in the transition zone. In the narrow band close to the fusion boundary where plates are clearly visible and theMstemperature is higher than room temperature, electron diffraction analyses show reflections of martensite and austenite. Moreover, the crystallographic relations between martensite and austenite can be described by the Kurdjumov-Sachs (K-S) relationship$\{ 110\} _{\alpha '} ||\{ 111\} _\gamma < 1\bar 11 > _{\alpha '} || < 1\bar 10 > _\gamma $). The microstructure of the part of the transition zone with anMstemperature lower than room temperature as well as that of the composite zone is austenite. The investigations proved that the width of the martensitic area can be significantly limited by using the CMT technique for weld overlaying.

Abstract The aim of this work was to investigate different weld overlay coating technologies applied to steel boiler pipes and their influence on microstructure and properties of the produced overlays. The investigations were carried out on the boiler pipes weld overlaid by an Inconel 625 and cladded at various conditions (CMT, GMAW and GTAW). The investigations showed that microstructure and mechanical properties of overlaid pipes depend on cladding technology and the chemical composition of the base material.

Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the changes in the surface layer (Inconel 625), obtained during the laser treatment of tool-steel alloy for hot work by the use high-power fibre laser. Design/methodology/approach: Observations of the layer structure, HAZ, and substrate material were made using light and scanning microscopy. The composition of elements and a detailed analysis of the chemical composition in micro-areas was made using the EDS X-ray detector. The thickness of the resulting welds, heat affected zone (HAZ) and the contribution of the base material in the layers was determined. Findings: As a result of laser cladding, using Inconel 625 powder, in the weld overlay microstructure characteristic zones are formed: at the penetration boundary, in the middle of weld overlay and in its top layer. It was found that the height of weld overlay, depth of penetration, width of weld overlay and depth of the heat affected zone grows together with the increasing laser power. Practical implications: Laser cladding is one of the most modern repair processes for eliminating losses, voids, porosity, and cracks on the surface of various metals, including tool alloys for hot work. Laser techniques allow to make layers of materials on the repaired surface, that can significantly differ in chemical composition from the based material (substrate material) or are the same. Originality/value: A significant, dynamic development in materials engineering as well as welding technologies provides the possibility to reduce the cost of production and operation of machinery and equipment, among others by designing parts from materials with special properties (both mechanical and tribological) and the possibility of regeneration of each consumed element with one of the selected welding technologies.

Abstract The aim of this work was to investigate the development of microstructure and variations in chemical composition in commercial Inconel 625 coatings on a ferritic-pearlitic steel overlaid by the CMT method.The investigation showed that microsegregation occurring during the weld overlay solidification makes the dendrite cores to be richer in Ni, Fe and Cr and in the between dendrite arms in Mo and Nb. Niobium shows the strongest tendency to segregation during solidification; molybdenum tends to segregate less and chromium has the lowest tendency to segregation. Although Inconel 625 is a solid solution strengthened alloy, Nb and Mo-rich phases are formed in the between dendrite arms of weld overlays.

The SEMASS Resource Recovery Facility (SEMASS) is a processed refuse fuel (PRF) waste-to-energy plant serving Southeastern Massachusetts. The plant consists of three 1000 ton per day boilers that generate steam at 765 F and 650 psig for use in a steam turbine/generator set. Over the past several years there have been a series of plant improvements made in order to achieve compliance with the MACT emission standards. Unfortunately, metal wastage rates due to fire side corrosion of pressure containing components, have increased significantly during this same time period. In an attempt to reduce overall maintenance costs and unscheduled down time due to tube failures, a test of various alloy tube materials was undertaken in 2001 (see NAWTEC#10 paper-1021) in the primary superheater section of boiler #1. The materials tested were SA213-T22 (original spec.), SA213-T22-Heavy Wall, SA213-TP310H, SB-423 Incoloy 825, and Inconel 625 spiral weld overlay of SA213-T22 base material. This paper will summarize the results of the second year of testing including wastage rate tables and annualized costs for the various tube materials.

The present study investigated the effect of corrosion on an Inconel 625-cladded layer using the cold metal transfer (CMT) method. The corrosion was caused by various ashes and high process temperatures. The ashes were obtained from the biomasses of mixed wood and oat straw, as well as from sewage sludge, by ashing. Long-term corrosion tests were carried out at 650 °C over a period of 1000 h. The chemical composition, mineral phases, and corrosion effects were studied by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive X-rays (SEM–EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) from the surface and on the cross-section of the samples. The chemical composition of the ashes was quite different, but representative of their particular fuel. Together with the effects of the operating temperature and mass transfer, significant differences in the degree of the corrosion depth were detected for the various ashes. For the investigated samples, the corrosion mechanisms were inferred based on the identified corrosion products.

The investigation was focused on the microstructure characterization as well as changes in chemical composition and hardness of water wall tubing weld overlaid with Inconel 625. The analysis comprised studies in a light and electron microscopy scale that included the evaluation of weld overlays microstructure and microsegregation of alloying elements across the overlay and base metal interface. The particular attention was turned to the distribution of the main element content (Fe, Ni, Mo, Nb, Cr) in the base metal fusion zone as well as in the weld overlay itself. It was shown that the solidification process resulted in significant segregation in alloying elements giving rise to the substantial differences in chemical composition between dendrite cores and interdendritic spaces. It is believed that the microsegregation together with precipitation of secondary phases may contribute to the deterioration of corrosion resistance and overall mechanical properties of weld overlay including ductility and fracture toughness.

AbstractPaper presents results of laser additive manufacturing. Deposition of nickel based super alloy Inconel 625 was performed. Laser metal deposition is advanced manufacturing process dedicated for prototyping and low scale series production. Inconel 625 is nickel based super alloy, with high heat resistance properties. Therefore due material properties and chemical composition is characterized as a difficult to machining [1, 2]. Additive manufacturing process using focused photons beam for selective deposition of metallic powder in laser engineered net shaping (LENS) method can be used as alternative technology. High energy density of controllable laser beam combining with coaxial delivery system allow to precise deposited metallic powder. Manufacturing process are based on selective melting of additional material using laser radiation and crystallization process. An additional material in form of filler wire as well as metallic powder can be used. Advantages of using metallic powder are higher level of process control, nevertheless adequate selection of process parameters are required. High energy density of laser beam and rapid crystallization process affect on metallographic structure of deposited material. Thermal energy absorbed in material affect on phase transformation.Molten powder mixing with base material changing metallographic structure. Chemical composition of obtained overlay weld are combination of base and additive material. Therefore to achieve stable crystallization process chemical composition of additive material wassimilar to base material. Additional alloying elements could affect on mechanical properties. Deposition process using TruLaserCell 1005 laser machine was performed. To determine properties of manufactured material metallographic analysis and destructive tests were performed.
