Electric arc surfacing is widely used for the application of protective and restorative coatings on units and parts of metallurgical production equipment in order to increase their durability in harsh operating conditions and in an aggressive environment. Increasing the efficiency of melting the electrode material is an important task, since it allows one to reduce the required volume of deposited metal and the cost of surfacing. In addition, when surfacing by traditional technology of parts with a complex shape of the working surface, it was found that the deposited layer can contain such defects as single gas and line pores, as well as slag inclusions. The work is devoted to the study of improving the surfacing technology by controlling heat input into the base metal using controlled mechanical actions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
