The brittle phase (Laves) of Inconel 718 parts formed by laser metal deposition (LMD) represents a bottleneck of the engineering applications. In order to investigate effectiveness of laser remelting ...
The demand for oil and its derivatives has driven the oil and gas sector to explore deep waters. Nickel-based alloys, like Inconel, are used due to their corrosion resistance properties. Cladding ...
Materials (Basel). 2023 May; 16(9): 3479. Currently, most multi-scale simulations of laser cladding use the finite element method with birth-death elements. However, this approach does not account for ...
Nickel-based weld overlays (cladding) are commonly used in oil & gas industry to extend the life of equipment under corrosive environment, as it improves the corrosion resistance without a significant ...
In the test series, the EW2C process was able to weld a 25 mm high spiral of Inconel 718 with a wire diameter of 1.2 mm onto a steel shaft with an outside diameter of 35 mm in less than 60 seconds ...
Cladding is no stranger to the oil and gas industry. For years it has been one of the most widely used approaches to mitigate corrosion in subsea valves, tubulars, and other subsea components above ...
