Investigate the Slurry Abrasion Behaviour of ERNiCrMo-3 Clads on 080M40 Steel Using a Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing Process
摘要
In this study, ERNiCrMo-3 wire was applied onto 080M40 steel through wire arc additive manufacturing, exploring different input parameters. Subsequently, slurry abrasion testing assessed the efficacy of the resulting clads across varied ideal conditions. Optimal mass loss resistance was achieved with ER1 [(ERNiCrMo-3)1] clad at 145 A current, 17 voltage, 6 m/min wire speed, and 9 cm/min scanning speed. Interestingly, while substrate 080M40 displayed ductile failure, the ER1 [(ERNiCrMo-3)1] sample exhibited a mixed failure mode, providing valuable insights into material behaviour under abrasive conditions.
