Abstract
The paper presents the results of studying the formation of structure and properties of metals when using additive technologies, such as arc and laser surfacing of highly alloyed nickel alloys. The main problem of nickel-chromium alloys during treatment with highly concentrated energy sources (welding, surfacing, soldering, plasma and laser treatment) consists in low strength and heat resistance after heating to high temperatures and rapid cooling, which is typical for these methods. The maximum high-temperature strength of such alloys is achieved after quenching and subsequent aging resulting in the formation of finely-dispersed γ′- phase precipitates, which inhibit plastic deformation. However, the achieved level of high-temperature strength of nickel alloys is often reduced significantly as a result of thermal effects and unfavorable structural changes during subsequent treatment (welding, surfacing). The paper presents the results of studying the structure, phase composition and properties of EP648 alloy during argon-arc surfacing. A comparison with the EP648 alloy structures obtained by laser surfacing is provided. It was established that argon-arc welding of EP648 alloy in combination with ultrasonic treatment creates an additional effect of increasing phase dispersion, which leads to an increase in hightemperature strength of the alloy.
