Clad Pulse

A special process aimed to obtain low dilution with the base material as primary objective
Clad deposit with homogenous chemical properties is produced.
In order to meet this target a very “soft arc” has been designed acting on more than 30 parameters governing the wave form.

Welding procedures

Filler material: UTP A 6222Mo d. 1.2 mm
Base material: ASTM A516 gr. 70
Process: MIG CladPulseBöhler Arc Program: UTP A 6222Mo Ar 1.2mm
Shielding gas: 100% Ar

Procedure
Alloy 625 Cladding in One Single Layer

The cladding of alloy 625 is achieved in one single layer with deposition rate up to 4 kg/h
The clad deposit thickness is about 5.5 mm with chemical analysis conforms to alloy 625 also in depth. Fe content is well below 5%
Such a deposit configuration is ideal for cladding whether machining is necessary or not

Procedure
Alloy 625 Cladding in One Single Layer

Flat beads appearance without undercut and very limited spattering
Smooth transition between passes
Uniform deposit and penetration
Clad thickness: 5.5 mm
No  indications –  Ultrasonic examination according to ASME V 2019

Procedure
Alloy 625 Cladding in One Single Layer

Homogenous deposit with Fe < 5% also in depth
Alloy 625 weld metal chemical analisys guaranteed
at 3 mm from the clad surface
at 2.5 mm from the fusion line

Procedure
Alloy 625 Cladding in One Single Layer

BM & HAZ :  Ferrite+Perlite structure
Weld Metal :  Dendritic solidification Austentite 

Procedure

Process preserves the base material properties without significant alterations of the micro-structure
