Macroscopic and microscopic examinations of implant joints made under water have been performed. The investigations results indicate that in HAZ of the tested joints a formation of brittle structures has occurred. The brittle structures are responsible for an increase of susceptibility to cold cracking of high strength low alloy steel. An analysis of hardness penetration patterns of implant joints also indicates an adverse effect of water environment on weldability of steel.
Microstructure and properties of the cobalt base clad layers after long time service
The cobalt base laser cladding layers were investigated after two years of service in two laboratory diesel engines. The microstructures of the clads after service did not demonstrated serious degradation process. Chemical compositions of the used layers and changes in hardness were described. These sorts of layers are suitable for long time service with out substantial damages.
Influence of laser remelting at cryogenic conditions on corrosion resistance of non-ferrous alloys
The main reason for laser remelting of the components made of aluminium, copper and titanium alloys is to obtain high hardness and corrosion resistance at the surface for longer lifetime as result of the rapid solidification. The final microstructure, phase composition and properties of aluminium, copper and titanium alloys depend on the laser process parameters and obviously on the nature of the equilibrium system.
The effect of laser surface remelting at cryogenic conditions on the microstructure and corrosion characteristics of the AlSi13Mg1CuNi, SUPERSTON and Ti-6Al-4V alloys are presented. The beneficial effects of laser treatment on the microstructure and corrosion behaviour of those alloys used for different products are observed.
