Although the industrial sector is very restrictive in terms of the amount of dilution of the substrate allowed in welded Inconel coatings (often below 10%), the real impact of small changes in dilution on corrosion resistance of Inconel deposits is not clear yet. To evaluate this, welding current, welding speed and powder feed rate were varied within narrow ranges during PTA deposition of Inconel 625 onto carbon steel substrates. The effects of welding parameters on dilution and convexity index of the beads were analyzed within the established operational envelope. Potentiodynamic corrosion tests were carried out using solutions with different corrosion aggressiveness for specimens with different dilutions. The current of 180 A appeared as a transient point for the effects of the welding current on dilution and convexity index, suggesting a complex interaction between welding current, welding speed and powder feed rate. XRD results showed that for the specimens with higher dilution, only the region very close to the interface with the substrate was affected, suppressing the formation of the M2C. Interdendritic corrosion with preferential dissolution of some phases was observed as the main corrosion mechanism for all the deposits. The specimens with higher dilution showed tendency for secondary passivation in NaCl and NaCl + FeCl3 solutions. Moreover, the corrosion potential and corrosion current density values obtained for the specimens with lower and higher dilution were very close, with negligible differences, regardless of the position in the bead. The presence of FeCl3 in the electrolyte shifted the corrosion potential to more positive values. In the NaCl + H2SO4 solution, the deposits showed significant differences only in terms of passivation current between higher and lower dilution specimens. However, in general the differences between the deposits were negligible, showing good overall aqueous corrosion resistance in a wide range of highly aggressive environments. Therefore, this work found a relatively wide operational envelope for Inconel 625 PTA deposits, showing that small changes in deposition conditions, and thus in dilution, do not affect the coating applicability.
Resumo Diante das diferenças operacionais existentes entre o processo Eletrodo Tubular e o processo MIG/MAG IntroduçãoAs transformações na economia mundial resultam em constantes exigências por qualidade e produtividade a baixo custo, fatores que asseguram a competitividade no ambiente industrial. E, desse modo, têm-se impulsionado o desenvolvimento de tecnologias em soldagem e aprimoramento de técnicas conexas a este seguimento. Característica como taxa de fusão e taxa de deposição (conseqüentemente o rendimento de deposição) assumem um papel importante na capacidade produtiva de cada processo estudado. Porém tais características sofrem forte influência de variáveis como a corrente e a tensão, as quais, segundo Scotti e Ponomarev [1] influenciam diretamente na formação do cordão e no tipo de transferência metálica, que por sua vez influenciam em aspectos operacionais do processo, como a geração de fumos e de respingo. Para que ocorra a fusão do eletrodo (consumo) é necessária a geração de calor, que pode ser oriundo de diferentes fontes, tais como o calor gerado no eletrodo por efeito Joule devido à passagem da corrente e o calor gerado devido às reações na conexão arco-eletrodo, segundo Allum e Quintino [2]. Já a formação do cordão, de acordo com Scotti e Ponomarev [1], tem uma fenomenologia
ResumoO processo GMAW (MIG/MAG) Key-words: Fumes, GMAW; FCAW; tubular wire; gas shielding. IntroduçãoO estudo e a análise da geração de fumos possuem um papel importante no que se refere à soldagem, uma vez que normas rígidas de Segurança do Trabalho determinam o tempo e o limite de exposição do soldador aos fumos. Desse modo, minimizar a taxa de geração de fumos e dos riscos à saúde do trabalhador é sempre uma preocupação, uma vez que este é o responsável pelo alto índice de doenças respiratórias e doenças que afetam o pulmão entre os soldadores [1]. É possível minimizar a quantidade de fumos gerados, aos quais os soldadores estão expostos, avaliando-se uma série de fatores operacionais, tais como seleção adequada de parâmetros de soldagem, eficiência do processo de soldagem de acordo com sua aplicação, utilização da ventilação mais adequada para o ambiente de
This work aimed to evaluate the chemical composition, microstructure and mechanical and electrochemical behavior of the 316L stainless steel manufactured by WAAM, comparing it with a sample of the same alloy in the annealed condition. The results indicate that the use of ER316LSi wire produces a component with chemical composition equivalent to the conventional 316L alloy. However, the microstructure of the deposited material is different with the presence of ferrite in an austenitic matrix. Two regions whose microstructure had different morphologies were also identified. In the region close to the fusion line between the deposited layers, the austenite grains are smaller, with a higher concentration of ferrite, causing an increase in microhardness in this region, when compared to the region more at the center of each layer. The WAAM process caused a decrease in the mechanical strength properties of the alloy, however it still meets the minimum requirements for most industrial applications required for the material studied. The electrochemical results in simulated seawater solution indicate that the corrosion resistance of the deposited sample is similar to that of the conventional specimen, with the potential for the passivating layer of the first to be superior to that of the second.
