Effect of welding parameters on mechanical and corrosion behavior of Stellite 6 cladded SA387 Gr 91 with ERNiCr-3 buffer layer

The mechanical, chemical, and corrosion properties of a cladded material strongly depends upon the geometry of the clad beads. Hence, it is essential to learn the impact of process parameters on the weld bead geometry. In this work, the effects of welding speed, welding current, and nozzle-to-plate distance on cladding were investigated in terms of improving the mechanical and corrosion properties. SA387 Gr 91 was cladded with Stellite 6 as cladding material and ERNiCr-3 as a buffer layer by a IRB1520 ID robotic welding machine. The experiments were carried out using three factors with three levels as per the Box–Behnken design technique. A characterization study was made using an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The hardness was measured using a Vicker’s hardness tester. An electrochemical corrosion test was conducted to determine the corrosion resistance. The application of ERNiCr-3 reduced the formation of cracks and pores on the surface of the cladded metal. Among the chosen parameters, welding current was the most important parameter controlling the mechanical and corrosion properties. From the results, it is concluded that the combination of ERNiCr-3 and Stellite 6 enhances the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of SA387 Gr 91 significantly.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

Not AvailableThe present study, aimed at advancing Alphonso mango harvest season through manipulation in time of soil application of paclobutrazol (PBZ) [soil application on 15th of May, June, July, and August]; foliar spray of KNO3 (3%) [August and September], was conducted during 2010 to 2012 cropping seasons in red lateritic rocky soil of Konkan (Maharashtra, India). Results of individual years and mean for three years revealed that signifi cant earliness in fl owering (85.4 day) and advancement in harvesting (82 day) was achieved with the application of PBZ on 15th May. PBZ application on 15th June was relatively less effective in inducing early fl owering (56 day) and harvesting (69 days). However, the greater extent of fl owering (72.23 %) and fruit yield per tree (40.72 kg/tree) were recorded with PBZ applied at recommended time i.e., on 15th August. Individual fruit weight was higher in KNO3 sprayed tree in the months of August (268g) and September (265.5 g), whereas fruit T.S.S. was higher (19.37 o Brix.) in trees receiving PBZ on 15th August. The fi ndings of study indicated huge potential for realizing about 5-6 times higher returns from Alphonso produced in February-March months as compared to May harvest.Not Availabl
