 Abstract:
Stellite 6 is a widely applied hardfacing alloy with good corrosion and wear resistance. Several different techniques have been used to deposit this alloy, like oxyacetylene, Tungsten Inert Gas welding overlay, CO2 laser cladding and thermal spray methods. This paper evaluates the wear and corrosion resistance of Stellite 6 coatings applied by high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying and gas metal arc welding (GMAW) hot wire technique. Mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of the coatings are assessed and compared. The influence of these properties in the wear and corrosion results is further discussed.
