Defect distributions in weld-deposited cladding

摘要

Defect distributions in stainless steel and nickel-chromium alloy weld- deposited cladding over a low alloy steel base were characterized by destructive evaluation (DE). An evaluation of the observed defects was conducted to characterize the defects by type or classification. Size distributions of cladding defect types were developed from the information obtained. This paper presents the results of the cladding evaluation.
