Studies on Refining Weld Fusion Zone Microstructure using carbide Inoculants-Applications to Weld Hardfacing by SMAW process Using Iron Based consumables
Under the Guidance of Prof.R.Raman, at EWAC Alloys Ltd. (L&T) Powai, Mumbai
- Worked in the Product Development Department of new products.
- Project aims at refining grain size by modifying the coating of hardfacing electrode (4% C, 1.36% Si and 8.01% Cr) with addition of tungsten Carbide powder(~1µm) to enhance the wear, hardness, properties and better microstructure of weld fusion zone by shielded metal arc welding process(SMAW)
- Came up with various innovative ideas to increase 42% the wear resistance and hardness(7%) of selected commercial product used by L&T
- Proposed Ideas to optimise the wear resistance and cost of selected product
- Characterisation is done by optical microscopy and SEM/EDAX
