Abstract
Weld cladding is a process of depositing a thick layer of a corrosion resistance material over carbon steel plate to improve the corrosion resistance properties. The main problem faced in stainless steel cladding is the selection of process parameters for achieving the required clad bead geometry and its shape relationships. This paper highlights an experimental study carried out to develop mathematical models to predict clad bead geometry and its shape relationships of austenitic stainless steel claddings deposited by gas metal arc welding process. The experiments were conducted based on four-factor, five-level central composite rotatable design with full replication technique. The mathematical models were developed using multiple regression method. The developed models have been checked for their adequacy and significance. The direct and interaction effects of process parameters on clad bead geometry and its shape relationships are presented in graphical form.
