TiC particle reinforced iron based composite coating were in situ synthesized on surface of Q235 steel by Submerged-arc Welding (SAW) using the mixture consisted of ferrotitanium, ferrochromium, iron and carbon powders. Microstructure of the coating was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM)and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Microhardness was measured by microhardness tester. Results indicated that the fine TiC particles were formed by using SAW process and dispersed in the matrix. And the particles sizes were less than 2μm. Microstructure of coating consists of TiC particles, martensite and austenite. The microhardness of coating is HV575~HV617, which is about 3 times of that of the based metal.

Abstract In the study for this contribution, production of in situ synthesized TiB2 particles in iron-based composite coatings using four different submerged arc welding powders (fluxes) containing increasing amounts of ferrotitanium and ferroboron with S1 welding wire, were targeted. For this purpose, coating deposition was carried out to improve the hardness and wear properties of the AISI 1020 steel surfaces using hybrid submerged arc welding. In hybrid submerged arc welding, the welding pool is protected by both welding powders and an argon gas atmosphere. To examine the composite coatings, visual, chemical, microstructural analyses and hardness and wear tests were carried out. With the use of increasing amounts of ferrotitanium and ferroboron in the welding powders, it was observed that the microstructure of the coatings changed in terms of TiB2 particle geometries such as rectangular and hexagonal; volume fractions of TiB2 particles in the coating microstructures increased; hardness values of coatings were enhanced from 34 HRC to 41 HRC; the wear resistance of the coatings improved, and worn surface images of the coatings caused by the counter body changed from continuous with deep scratches to discontinuous with fine scratches and crater cavities.

Fe-Cr-C ceramic composite coating was fabricated on substrate of Q235 steel by submerged-arc welding process added alloy powder using the material of chromium powder, iron powder, colloid graphite powder and H08 welding wire. Microstructure and wear properties of the composite coating were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrograph (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) and microhardness tester. wearresisting property of the coating was tested at room temperature and dry sliding wear conditions. Results show that the composite coating consists of (Cr,Fe)7C3 eutectic phase and austenite. There are many dendrite crystal structure in the coating, and most of the dendrite crystal are parallel, pointing to the surface of the coating. The wear mass loss of the base body Q235 steel is 10 times higher as that of the composite coating. The coating has excellent wear-resisting property because there are many eutectic carbide (Cr,Fe)7C3. It can increase wear resisting property of the coating that the austenite could occurr strain and induced martensite in the coating during wear.

Submerged arc welding is widely used in pipeline manufacturing due to higher efficiency as compared to the other welding processes. In present study, TiO2-SiO2-CaO and SiO2-CaO-Al2O3–based submerged arc welding fluxes were developed for joining of linepipe steel. Twenty-one fluxes were formulated based on mixture design methodology. Fluxes were analysed using X-ray florescence (XRF), thermogravimetric, differential-scanning calorimetry, Hot-disc and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The structural behaviour of rutile basic fluxes were analysed using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Thermo-gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry were performed from 25 ℃ to 900 ℃ in order to determine the thermal stability and change in enthalpy of fluxes. Thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat of each flux were evaluated by hot disc technique. The density and grain fineness number for flux particles was evaluated at room temperature. Multi objective optimisation was performed to derive the optimised flux formulations. Individual effect of all the mixture constituents is rarely observed on the physicochemical properties of fluxes as compared to the binary and ternary mixture effects. The binary compositions significantly affect the density. TiO2-CaO is the most effective binary mixture which has increasing effect on density while all remaining binary mixture constituents have decreasing effect. The weight loss of fluxes observed during thermogravimetric analysis is affected by binary and ternary mixture constituents. Both binary and ternary flux mixtures affect change in enthalpy observed during differential scanning calorimetry. SiO2.Al2O3 is the only most effective binary mixture constituent of flux having increasing effect on thermal conductivity. Binary mixture constituents TiO2.CaF2, SiO2.Al2O3 and CaO.Al2O3 are the most effective and having synergistic effect on thermal diffusivity.

The purpose of this article is to enhance the mechanical properties and wear resistance of the RZ5 alloy used in the aerospace application by adding TiC particles. The present study discusses processing of in-situ RZ5-TiC composite fabricated by self-propagating high temperature (S.H.S.) method and its wear behavior. The effects of TiC particle on mechanical and microstructural properties of the composite are studied. The wear test is performed by varying the sliding distance and applied load. The composite is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results exhibited the properties like strength and hardness of RZ5-10wt%TiC composite has been increased considerably, while grain size is decreased as compared to the RZ5 alloy. The fractography indicated mixed mode (quasi-cleavage and ductile feature) failure of the composites. The wear results showed improvement in wear resistance of the composite. The FESEM showed dominate wear mechanisms are abrasion, ploughing grooves.

Results obtained from laboratory tests mostly need to be verified under fabrication conditions in order to incorporate design specifics (joint configuration and restraint), which effect the residual stress state considerably. For this purpose, multi-pass sub merged arc welding was performed in a special large-scale testing facility. The impact of varying interpass temperatures could be proven in-situ by means of a pronounced stress accumulation during welding and subsequent heat treatment accompanied by stress determination using X-ray diffraction.

TiAl/Ti2AlC in situ composite was successfully fabricated by hot-press-assisted reaction process from the mixture of Ti, Al and carbon black. The phase formation and transformation were investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the morphology characteristics were also studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that when the mixed powders were hot pressed at 1300 °C for 1 h, full dense and highly pure TiAl/Ti2AlC composite was synthesized. The TiAl was the matrix phase and the in situ synthesized Ti2AlC was reinforcing phase. The reaction process was also discussed.

The assembly of large structures made out of thick steel plates requires a welding process bywhich multiple wires can be used simultaneously. To reproduce these industrial processes in a researchenvironment, OCAS has invested in a multiwire submerged arc welding (SAW) setup. In this multiwiresetup, up to five wires in tandem configuration can be used.The objective of this master thesis is to establish a deeper knowledge of process parameters used to weldsteel plates in a thickness range of 12,7 up to 25 mm, by means of the submerged arc welding process.Based on literature, a test matrix is composed in which the number of wires, the plate thickness and otherweld parameters are the variables. In addition, a specific plate preparation for each plate thickness isderived from the literature. The preformed weld trails will be evaluated on weld bead geometry andmetallographic properties. There is further experimental examination required, which will result in therevising of the matrix.

In situ high energy X-ray diffraction synchrotron was used to provide direct analysis of the transformation sequences in steel-based matrix composite (MMC) reinforced with TiC particles. Evolution of the phase fractions of the matrix and TiC particles as well as the mean cell parameters of each phase were determined by Rietveld refinement from high energy X-ray diffraction (ID15B, ESRF, Grenoble, France). In addition, some peaks were further analysed in order to obtain the X-ray strain during the cooling step. Non-linear strain evolutions of each phase are evidenced, which are either associated with differences in the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between matrix and TiC particle or to the occurrence of phase transformation. Micromechanical calculations were performed through the finite element method to estimate the stress state in each phase and outline the effects of differences in CTE and of volume change associated with the matrix phase transformation. The calculated results led to a final compressive hydrostatic stress in the TiC reinforcement and tensile hydrostatic stress in the matrix area around the TiC particles. Besides, the tendencies measured from in situ synchrotron diffraction (mean cell parameters) matched with the numerical estimates.
