Development of new alloys for cladding on H13 shot sleeves as repairs and new parts

FY 2016-17

Summary
This project aims to develop new alloys for cladding H13 shot sleeves as repairs and parts production. The study will consist in evaluating the properties of alloys cladded by both MIG welding and directed energy deposition (DED). The alloys developed for those applications will be the H12 and H13 by MIG welding and a commercial tungsten alloy by DED and those tool steels will be nitrided for further improvements. The properties of those new products will be compared to the existing Whitfield Welding products, such as H10 and compared to the wrought material H13 to evaluate the improvements brought by those new alloys. The different steps of analysis will be (1) Microstructure analysis in order to evaluate the soundness of the deposits created, (2) static mechanical properties of the alloy by tensile testing and (3) thermal fatigue analysis of the different alloys to simulate the service conditions.
