Cladding is an essential part of welding. It refers to the process of depositing a special performance layer on the surface of parts welded with metal to achieve wear resistance, heat resistance and corrosion resistance. Weld metal build up is a cladding that welds metal to worn or damaged metal surfaces to restore or increase the size of the welded part.
Build up welding is used in various industries including manufacturing, repair, aerospace, automotive and mining. The surfacing process helps rebuild damaged or worn metal components, reducing material costs and saving time by avoiding replacement.
To master this welding technique, you need to understand the types of surfacing processes, the choice of materials, and the skills required for the job.
There are two main types of surfacing processes: surfacing using wire feed and surfacing using powder feed. In the wire-fed process, a continuous wire is melted to create the weld, while in the powder-fed process, metal powder is melted to create the weld.
The selection of welding materials is also very important in the surfacing process. There are many types of alloys that can be used for welding surfacing, each with unique characteristics suitable for specific applications. When selecting welding materials, consideration must be given to the application, type of base metal, desired cladding properties, and desired mechanical properties.
Skill is an important part of mastering the welding surfacing process. You need knowledge and experience in welding technology, equipment operation and welding principles. Welders must know how to prepare the base metal surface prior to cladding, manage heat input during welding, and control the welding arc. In addition, welders must understand how to select the proper cladding material, proper welding techniques and welding procedures to ensure high-quality welds.
