What is inconel cladding?

WHAT IS INCONEL CLADDING AND HOW DOES IT WORK? Inconel is a family of austenitic nickel-chromium-based superalloys. Inconel alloys are oxidation-corrosion-resistant materials well suited for service in extreme environments where equipment is at risk of corrosion or exposed to extreme heat.

What is Inconel 625 used for?

INCONEL® alloy 625 (UNS N06625) has been widely used for over 50 years in the marine and petroleum industries for applications requiring high strength, fracture toughness, fabricability and resistance to corrosion.

How is laser cladding of Inconel 625 wire for corrosion?

A strategy for high integrity laser cladding of stainless steel components with the corrosion resistant Inconel 625 wire is presented. The mechanism of enhanced corrosion as a result of Fe dilution is reported. Corrosion performance of the typical Inconel 625 wire laser coating is shown to be very similar to the wrought Inconel 625.

What are the welding parameters for Inconel 625 overlay?

It is observed that the corrosion properties are not affected when the Fe content is restricted to below 5%. Effort is made in this study to apply the weld overlay using Gas metal arc welding process using soild Inconel 625 wire.

Which is cheaper Carbon steel or Inconel cladding?

Cladding over carbon steel pipes is cheaper than using duplex stainless steel or Ni base alloy. The majority of clad products made today used carbon steel as the substrate and Incone l (625/715 nickel alloys) and SS as the clad materials to be bonded.

How is the Inconel cladding process has changed?

The Inconel cladding process has changed over time as new methods of bonding dissimilar metals are developed and refined. These developments have made the Inconel cladding process more flexible—allowing more types of pipes and fittings to be lined—and more robust, allowing Inconel-clad fixtures to last longer.
