Abstract:The present study focuses on revolutionizing SS-304 through microwave-assisted cladding of Ni-SiO2 composite coatings, aiming to enhance wear resistance and surface hardness properties. Meticulous preparation steps ensure effective deposition of a Ni and 15% SiO2 particle mixture onto SS-304 substrates. Thorough cleaning and preheating eliminate contaminants and moisture content, crucial for preventing coating defects. Maintaining material-specific skin depth and utilizing microwave hybrid heating ensure preci… Show more
