The Ni-based coatings with different content of spherical tungsten carbide were deposited by plasma transfer arc welding (PTAW) method on 304 austenitic stainless steel sheets in this study. The microstructure and wear property of spherical tungsten...
The descaling roll is a critical component in a hot-rolling production line. The operating conditions are significantly impacted by water with high-pressure and dynamic shocks caused by high-temperature steel slab descaling. Roll surfaces often exper...
Important applications of transition metal carbides (TMCs) are as wear resistant composite layers deposited by plasma transferred arc welding (PTAW) and laser methods. Growing interest in them has also been observed in additive manufacturing and in H...
The improvement of the surface qualities and surface hardening of precipitation hardened martensitic stainless steel 17-4PH was achieved by the plasma-transferred arc welding (PTAW) process deposited with Co-based alloy. The microstructure of the hea...
Hardfacing layers on mild steel substrates were successfully manufactured using a plasma transferred arc welding (PTAW) process to combine tungsten carbide powder and binder metal. Three morphological types of tungsten carbide powder were employed: s...
