Abstract
Laser cladding is one of the popular surface modification processes for providing enhanced wear and corrosion resistance to steels in various applications. In this article the investigations on laser cladding of Stellite 6 on EN8 steel has been reported. Stellite 6 is an extremely wear and corrosion resistant alloy and this study reports the corrosion behaviour of the cladded samples. Nine cladded samples were developed with the combination of different process parameters. Each sample was tested for corrosion behaviour using 1 M sulphuric acid solution. Metallurgic studies on the nine samples were conducted and the results have been reported. A clear correlation between the laser cladding parameters and the corrosion behaviour has been established.
