Abstract
Purpose: This project aims to determine the additive technology parameters for automatic arc surfacing and their impact on the metal structure and properties in a product.
Design /methodology/approach: Automatic gas-shielded arc surfacing was performed with a modified 3D plasma cutting gantry machine controlled by the Mach 3 software. During surfacing, the welding torch weave pattern was generated by the G codes. The shapes obtained by layer-by-layer surfacing were evaluated by geometry and the analysis of microhardness and microstructure in the wall cross section. The coupons were prepared for microstructure testing with the EcoMet 250 Pro grinder and polisher machine. The microstructure was studied using the Nikon MA200 metallographic microscope; Vickers hardness was measured with the Shimadzu HMV-2 microhardness tester at the indentations with a spacing of 0.5 mm, with each one placed at the center of the rollers with a load of 1.961 N ≈ 0.2 kg.
Findings: The article describes the study of metal product fabrication (growth) by the layer-by-layer surfacing technique. The layer-by-layer surfacing technique, various surfacing processes, and selection of the conditions are reviewed. Preparation and analysis of metallographic specimens and the equipment used are described. The main results of metallographic and microhardness tests are listed.
Originality/value: Rectangular shapes are obtained by layer-by-layer growth with automatic arc surfacing on a steel plate using various techniques. The impact of welding torch weave on the geometry, structure, and properties of the welding beads is identified. Recommendations are given on the selection of a specific surfacing technique.
