Atmospheric Argon Free burning Arcs with a Simplified Unified Model Using CFD-Arc Modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Free burning arcs, where the work piece acts as an anode, are frequently used for a number of applications. Our investigation is exclusively concerned with a simplified unified model of arcs and their electrodes under steady state conditions at ...

External Tank - The Structure Backbone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The External Tank forms the structural backbone of the Space Shuttle in the launch configuration. Because the tank flies to orbital velocity with the Space Shuttle Orbiter, minimization of weight is mandatory, to maximize payload performance.

Effect of cyclic loads on fatigue behavior of Ni–Cr–B–Si cladding on 316L(N) SS using PTA process

open access: yesAIP Advances
316L(N) stainless steel (SS) components in Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors (SFRs) are hardfaced with NiCrBSi alloy in order to avoid self-welding. Hardfacing is performed by the plasma transferred arc welding (PTA) process, as it gives lesser dilution ...

Effect of current and atomized grain size distribution on the solidification of Plasma Transferred Arc coatings

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2012
Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) is the only thermal spray process that results in a metallurgical bond, being frequently described as a hardfacing process. The superior properties of coatings have been related to the fine microstructures obtained, which are

Friction and wear of plasma-sprayed coatings containing cobalt alloys from 25 deg to 650 deg in air [PDF]

open access: yes
Four different compositions of self-lubricating, plasma-sprayed, composite coatings with calcium fluoride dispersed throughout cobalt alloy-silver matrices were evaluated on a friction and wear apparatus.

Influence of plasma transferred arc welding parameters on the obtained microstructure of 316L coating

open access: yes, 2023
The paper describes the surfacing technology for coating of high-alloyed austenitic stainless steel 316L on the steel S235JR base material. Coatings were applied by plasma transferred arc welding process. The 5 samples were made using different welding currents while other welding param-eters were constant.
