| Abstract Scope |
Laser cladding system available at the CSIR South African was used to laser clad Inconel 625 on 304L SS substrate. The produced clad was studied for effects of heat treatment and carbonisation on the microstructural and harness properties. The microstructural changes were summarized as: Laves/Eutectic-rich to primary dendritic to MC carbide rich to anisotropic Laves-rich to isotropic grain then finally precipitated and large MC carbides microstructure. The As-built sample had higher hardness value followed by the water quenched and carbonized samples which had similar hardness value. Aging and stress relieve conditions softened the sample. The obtained hardness values support the observed microstructures. |
