“…It is regarded as a slow and inefficient mode of heating as energy transfers from one molecule to another through lattice vibration thereby, generates problems related to thermal gradient due to change in microstructure with varying mechanical properties. It is also known to be outside to inside mode of heating [30][31][32][33]. In correlation to unconventional sources of cladding conductive mode of cladding lacks in various domains.…”

Metals and alloys can undergo intergranular corrosion attack, wear and ultimately can result in failure under various service conditions. To reduce this possibility of failure by different modes, metals and alloys are employed with certain surface treatment processes. Out of numerous surface treatment processes available today cladding has evolved itself as one of the noble techniques in this era to provide and act as a protective layer that enables the component or specimen to withstand and enhance the service life under extreme conditions. There is a various additive method of cladding who found to be economical and efficient over the perspective of providing a good metallurgical bond with the least possible dilution of the base material. This study tries to figure out the possibilities concerning conventional and unconventional cladding techniques based on processing techniques, metallurgical bonding, advantages associated, and limitations as attached to it.

Melting of metals is of utmost importance in the manufacturing industry as it is the primary manufacturing process to obtain the desired shape and size. microwave melting is a novel technique that uses electromagnetic wave radiation to heat materials. In the present work, the melting of Hastelloy C-276 inside a multimode microwave applicator operating at 2.45 GHz and 900 W input power, is explored in numerical and experimental. This results in a significant reduction in processing time and leads to lesser material wastage. The distribution of temperature, electric field, and resistive losses was analysed to understand the microwave melting of the Hastelloy C-276 sample. The study revealed that the melting time taken was ~440 seconds for microwave melting of Hastelloy C-276.

Foundry industries aim at reducing energy consumption in processing of materials. Continuous efforts are ongoing to exploit unconventional energy sources such as microwave energy to overcome drawbacks of conventional sources. In the present work, a comparative study of electrical energy consumption during melting of known quantity of metallic material in microwave oven and in conventional muffle electric furnace is carried out. The non-ferrous bulk metallic materials such as tin, zinc, aluminum and brass are used as candidate materials. A 900-W modified domestic microwave oven, operating at 2.45 GHz and a conventional muffle furnace are used for the study. The electrical energy consumed for melting of known quantity of metallic materials is presented along with the observed material wastage during melting process. The study shows that microwave oven consumes significantly lesser time than the conventional muffle electric furnace for the melting of known quantity of candidate materials. It is found that melting bulk metallic materials by microwave irradiation reduces electrical energy consumption than that of conventional melting process. In addition, material wastage is around twofold lesser by microwave melting process than the conventional melting process for the known quantity of candidate materials.
