Abstract:

During the study of laser cladding processes for manufacturing of structural elements from high-alloy corrosion-resistant steel on a thin-walled base, the issue of reduction of the powder material corrosion durability, applied by such technologies, during their use in corrosive environments, was considered. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of laser radiation intensity, used to form a deposited layer on a thin-walled base made from AISI 316L high-alloy corrosion-resistant steel, on its corrosion resistance. Samples, utilizing a laser cladding method, developed for creation of structural elements on pre-made thin-walled parts, were tested for pitting and intergranular corrosion (IGC) resistance using standard methods. IGC resistance was assessed by optical metallography. According to the results of corrosion tests, it was determined that samples of the layers of high-alloy corrosion-resistant steel AISI 316L, applied utilizing laser cladding technology on a thin-walled base, made from high-alloy corrosion-resistant steel, can be considered resistant to pitting and intergranular corrosion, while maintaining the range of values of power density at 30...50.0 kW/cm2. These results align with the results of various studies by other authors who have been testing similar cases in other industries. The results of this study were used for further development of laser surfacing technologies for thin-walled parts used in various extreme conditions and further deepening of knowledge about modern laser cladding processes and expansion of the scope of this technology.
