Abstract. The state of laser processing in surface materials modification in Poland is reported, based on own experience, coworkers and coauthors results, as well the literature review. The curriculum concerning historical development of lasers and laser technology in Poland, laser-matter interaction, as well basis of different laser techniques applied in materials surface engineering (solid state hardening, melting, alloying, cladding, ablation, shot peening, cleaning and texturing) are reviewed, and compared with results of coauthors, as well with a wide range of Polish authors papers. Finally, it is concluded that overall state of research on laser application in surface engineering in Poland is well developed and still growing industrial application is observed.
The aim of this work was to investigate the development of microstructure and variations in chemical composition in commercial Inconel 625 coatings on a ferritic-pearlitic steel overlaid by the CMT method.The investigation showed that microsegregation occurring during the weld overlay solidification makes the dendrite cores to be richer in Ni, Fe and Cr and the interdendritic regions in Mo and Nb. Niobium shows the strongest tendency to segregation during solidification; molybdenum tends to segregate less and chromium has the lowest tendency to segregation. Although Inconel 625 is a solid solution strengthened alloy, Nb and Mo-rich phases are formed in the interdendritic regions of weld overlays.Keywords: microstructure, microsegregation, Cold Metal Transfer (CMT), boiler pipes Inconel 625Celem pracy była ocena mikrostruktury i składu chemicznego powłok napawanych metodą CMT na podłoże ze stali ferrytyczno-perlitycznej, jak również ocena mikrosegregacji pierwiastków stopowych następująca podczas krystalizacji napoiny.Badania wykazały, że w wyniku mikrosegregacji zachodzącej w trakcie krystalizacji napoin rdzenie dendrytów bogatsze są w Ni, Fe i Cr, natomiast obszary międzydendrytyczne w Mo i Nb. Podczas krystalizacji najsilniej segreguje niob, w mniejszym stopniu molibden, natomiast najmniej segreguje chrom. Pomimo, że Inconel 625 jest stopem umacnianym roztworowo, to w przestrzeniach międzydendrytycznych napoin tworzą się fazy bogate w Nb i Mo.
The influence of the Laser Shock Processing (LSP) on the morphology, microstructure and surface layer properties of a Ti6Al4V alloy has been studied. Residual stresses were assessed as well. For the Laser Shock Processing a 1 KW, high-power Q-switched Nd:YAG laser was used. During the process the surface of the investigated material was covered by series of single, partially overlapping impulses. The laser power density was a 1 GW/cm 2 and a pulse duration of 18 ns. The microstructure and the phases presented in the surface layer of the treated material were analysed by optical, scanning and transmisssion electron microscopy as well as by X-ray diffractometry. The X-ray diffractometry was also use to determine the residual stresses. It has been found that the laser shock processing can cause plastic deformation and generate the compressive residual stresses into the treated surface of a Ti6Al4V alloy.
The aim of this work was to investigate different weld overlay coating technologies applied to steel boiler pipes and their influence on microstructure and properties of the produced overlays. The investigations were carried out on the boiler pipes weld overlaid by an Inconel 625 and cladded at various conditions (CMT, GMAW and GTAW). The investigations showed that microstructure and mechanical properties of overlaid pipes depend on cladding technology and the chemical composition of the base material.Keywords: cladding, Cold Metal Transfer (CMT), GMAW, GTAW, microstructure, mechanical properties Celem pracy była ocena wpływu metody napawania Inconelem 625 rur kotłowych ze stali P235GH i 16Mo3 na mikrostrukturę i własności podłoża i napoiny. Badania prowadzono na odcinkach rur kotłowych napawanych stopem niklu Inconel 625. Rury zostały dostarczone do Fabryki Kotłów SEFAKO S.A. przez czterech dostawców, stosujących różne metody napawania, a mianowicie CMT, GMAW i GTAW.Badania wykazały, że mikrostruktura i własności mechaniczne rur napawanych istotnie zależą od zastosowanej metody napawania oraz od składu chemicznego materiału podłoża.
IntroductionResistance to corrosion is the decisive criterion for the selection of materials for construction of boiler elements for burning municipal and industrial waste due to the extremely aggressive environment of their operation. Therefore, boiler elements that operate in the most aggressive environments are usually subjected to weld overlaying with Ni alloys, in order to ensure the required operational life of boilers. The solidsolution strengthened nickel alloy Inconel 625 is widely used for welded coatings for these processes, as it is characterized by very good resistance to corrosion as well as good strength and weldability. Chromium is the element that enhances resistance to corrosion, especially in an oxidizing atmosphere. Therefore, it is the basic element of the 625 alloy. Moreover, Cr and especially Mo and Nb, provide solid-solution strengthening of the alloy [1,2].Weld overlaying is a process of depositing a material onto a product surface by welding methods [3]. Welded coatings have a structure typical to cast metals, characterized by the fact The aim of this work was to investigate the microsegregation and precipitates formed due to segregation in Inconel 625 arc weld overlay coatings on boiler pipes. Examination of microsegregation and precipitates were carried out by means of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an EDS detector as well as a transmission electron microscope (TEM) equipped with a HAADF (STEM) and an EDS detectors. The presence of precipitations in the weld overlay was also confirmed with X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) of residue in the form of powder that remained after the electrolytic dissolution of weld overlay matrix.The investigations showed that the interdendritic regions were considerably enriched during microsegregation with Nb, and less so with Mo. The distribution of Cr and Fe in the weld overlay is relatively uniform. The value of the partition coefficient k for Mo and Nb is lower than 1. Therefore, these elements segregate during solidification into the liquid and, once solidification is finished, the interdendritic regions are considerably enriched with these elements. The value of k for Cr, Ni and Fe are only slightly higher than 1. Though the Inconel 625 is a solid-solution strengthened alloy, precipitation of secondary phases occurs in weld overlays. Precipitations were identified as a Laves phase and carbonitrides (Nb, Ti)(C, N).
