Robotic weld overlay coatings for erosion control. Quarterly technical progress report, April 1993--June 1993

“…A fully automatic welding laboratory was used for depositing hardfacing weld overlay alloys [2]. To date, a total of 12 plasma arc weld overlay coatings have been deposited on 1018 steel substrate (12 inch x 12 inch X 0.25).…”

“…Four of the selected coatings were deposited on a 1018 steel substrate using plasma arc welding process. [1,2]. During the past quarter, the remaining eight coatings were deposited in the same manner.…”
