Over Cladding Mild Steel with Stainless Steel

Abstract

We have made many test specimens of stainless steel over cladding by submerged series arc welding, and selected two specimens.
One of these has many falts and another one has none. These two specimens are made from low carbon steel 75mm×300mm×500mm and deposited one and two layers with stainless steel deposite.
We inspected those specimens by means of ultrasonic detector using the water flow method and recorded the detecting figures of these specimens.
Then cut these specimens across the deposited beads and compared detecting figures, and found that this method was useful for this purpose.
