Abstract

The purpose was to clarify the relationship between the main process parameters of micro-plasma cladding and the comprehensive quality (geometry, microstructure and wear rate of cladding track). Self-fluxing ferrous alloy powders were fabricated on Q235 substrate. Based on the uniform design, the distribution of the experimental samples was designed reasonably in the sample space, which greatly improved efficiency and reduced costs. After a series of microstructural characterization, there was no difference in the phase composition of all samples, but the average grain size had a significant difference, which resulted in the change of wear rate. And the relationship among micro-hardness, average grain size and wear rate of the track had also been investigated. Subsequently, an optimization model was established and the optimal process parameters were obtained with excellent wear rate under the geometric constraints. The correctness of optimization model was verified by experiments.
