Recent trends in surface cladding on AISI 1045 steel substrate: A review

Abstract

This paper gives the informative review and enlighten the important characteristics and development of different cladding techniques applied on AISI 1045 medium carbon steel substrate material. The paper focuses on the cladding methods used on AISI 1045 steel follows the way of surfacing via fusion. The cladding practice like wire feed, powder blown are taken into consideration. Different cladding methods such as Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Arc cladding, thermal spraying, laser cladding and electron beam cladding has been compared for better understanding. The application of various cladding powders by TIG cladding technique on AISI 1045 steel substrate material is presented by exhaustive critical review of various research papers of the era. The importance of TIG cladding process has been discussed.
