Cladding is the process of manufacturing the surface metal layer which is melt, fuse and has matallurgically bond with the substrate.
Used materials:
- wires and rods
- powders
- tapes
Sources of heat and melt:
- gas flame
- electric arc
- plasma arc
- laser beam
Methods of cladding:
- gas
- arc coated electrode
- TIG
- MIG and MAG (GMA)
- PTA
- laser and explosive
CLADDING TECHNOLOGIES ARE USED FOR REGENERATION OF MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT
Layers have a high resistance to:
- corrosion
- abrasion
- erosion
- cavitation
Groups of materials used for the production of layers:
- metals and metal alloys
- cermets
- ceramics
