Abstract

In the present study, Fe-based ER70S-6 filler rod of 1.2 mm diameter was cladded on a 6 mm AA 6061-T6 alloy sheet using a cold metal transfer process. The accelerated corrosion test was performed to evaluate the effect of corrosion on the hardness and wear resistance of the cladded surface. Acid corrosion resistance was studied by immersing the sample in 2.0% H2SO4 solution for 200 h. The morphology of the corroded surface was analyzed using upright optical and field emission scanning electron microscopes. Surface deterioration appears to be mostly caused by localized pitting corrosion. The weight loss due to corrosion was 8.9 × 10–4 g/mm2 after 200 h. The average microhardness reduced by 10% due to removal of hard materials and introduction of porosity on the cladded surface. The pin-on-disk test revealed significant reduction in wear resistance.
