Alloying the surface of AISI 2205 duplex stainless steel material by PTA welding method and making its thermomechanical investigation in ANSYS software

AISI 2205 steel is a duplex stainless steel plate containing 22% Cr, 3% Mo and 5–6% Ni and having the properties like high strength, impact toughness and corrosion resistance. In plasma transfer arc (PTA) welding method, the arc occurs between the tungsten electrode and the workpiece. In this study, the surface of AISI 2205 steel material was alloyed by PTA welding method using different combinations of TiC and B4C powders. The effect of B4C and...
