Benefits of Nickel alloy overlay cladding is exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidization. Ni-alloy overlay cladding in a controlled manner is essential to meet cost targets and optimize efficiencies. Cladding consumables, procedures and equipment are critical parameters for success. In this presentation, I will address: Cladding process (electro-slag or submerged arc); Total overlay thickness applied; Optimization of bead overlaps; Control of dilution to achieve technical requirements; Productivity of the methods used (critical during time constraints like shutdowns). Historically, to achieve optimal results, manufacturers had to weld multiple passes. Additional passes threaten weld integrity and increase costs. Data is available that proves using proper filler metal and procedures can achieve better results in single or double passes. Data includes single/double-layer cladding and suitability with requirements for Ni-base clad layers of alloy UNS N08825 / EQNiFeCr-1, UNS N06082 / EQNiCr-3, UNS N06625 / EQNiCrMo-3 and UNS N10276 / EQNiCrMo-4 on different steels.
