The formation of thick alloyed layer with high Si content have been investigated on the surface of Al alloy (A5083) plate by PTA process with Si powder. Hardening characteristics and wear resistance of alloyed layer was examined in relation to the microstructure of alloyed layer. Thick hardened layer in mm-order thickness on the surface of A5083 plate can be formed by PTA process with wide range of process condition by using Si powder as alloying element because of eutectic reaction of Al-Si binary alloy. High temperature and rapid solidification rate of molten pool, which are features of PTA process, enable the formation of high Si content alloyed layer with uniform distribution of fine primary Si paticle. High plasma arc current was beneficial to make the alloyed layer with smooth surface appearance in wide range of powder feeding rate, because enough volume of molten pool was necessary make alloyed layer. Uniform dispersion of fine primary Si particle with about 30${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in particle size can be obtained in layer with Si content ranging from 30 to 50 mass %. Hardness of alloyed layer increased with increasing Si content, but increasing rate of hardness differed with macrostructure of alloyed layer. Wear resistance of alloyed layer depended on $V_{si}$(volume fraction of primary Si) and was remarkably improved to two times of base metal at 20-30% $V_{si}$ without cracking, but no more improvement was obtained at larger $V_{si}$.

The Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) overlay welding method is lately introduced as one of the most useful surface overlay method of the engine component. In this paper, the overlay welding on the SNCrW heat resisting alloy was conducted by the PTA overlay welding process using the super alloy powder. The characteristics of the overlay layers were investigated through the metallurgical and abrasive test. Experimental results showed that the overlay on the SNCrW heat resisting alloy surface was successfully made without hot cracking. The friction wear characteristics of the Co-base Stellite 6 overlayer were most superior. However the abrasive wear characteristics were most inferior in the Co-base Stellite 6 overlayer.

Effect of Cr, Cu and Ni metal powders addition on the alloyed layer of aluminum alloy (AC2B) has been investigated with the plasma transferred arc (PTA) overlaying process. The overlaying conditions were 125-200A in plasma arc current, 150mm/min in process speed and 5-20g/min in powder feeding rate. Main results obtained are summarized as follows: 1) It was made clear that formation of thick surface alloyed layer on aluminum alloy is possible by PTA overlaying process. 2) The range of optimum alloying conditions were much wider in case of Cu and Ni powder additions than the case of Cr powder addition judging from the surface appearance and the bead macrostructure. 3) Alloyed layer with Cu showed almost the homogeneous microstructure through the whole layer by eutectic reaction. alloyed layers with Cr and Ni showed needle-like and agglomerated microstructures, the structure of which has compound layer in upper zone of bead by peritectic and eutectic-peritectic reactions, respectively. 4) Microconstituents of the alloyed layer were analyzed as A1+CrA $l_{7}$ eutectics, C $r_{2}$al sub 11/, CrA $l_{4}$, C $r_{4}$A $l_{9}$ and C $r_{5}$A $l_{*}$ 8/ for Cr addition, Al+CuA $l_{2}$(.theta.) eutectics and .theta. for Cu addition, and Al+NiA $l_{3}$ eutectics. NiA $l_{3}$, N $i_{2}$A $l_{3}$ and NiAl for Ni addition. 5) Concerning defect of the alloyed layer, many blow holes were seen in Cr and Ni additions although there was lesser in Cu addition. Residual gas contents in blow hole for Cu and Ni alloyed layer were confirmed as mainly $H_{2}$ and a littie of $N_{2}$ Cracking was observed in compound zone of the alloyed layer in case of Cr and Ni addition but not in Cu alloyed layer.r.r.

표면 경화가 요구되는 소재에 코발트계 합금 분말을 용사 소모재로 하고 플라즈마 트랜스퍼드 아크(PTA) 용사 공정을 이용하여 표면 개질부를 제조하였다. 표면 개질부는 다른 용사 변수는 일정하게 유지한 상태에서 용사 전류만을 변화하여 제조하였다. 용사 전류를 80에서 140 amp까지 20 amp씩 증가하면서 개질층을 제조하였다. 두께가 일정한 모재에 전류를 변화하여 표면 개질층을 제조하는 경우 용사후 모재에서 발생하는 냉각 효과가 다르게 되고 이는 개질층의 폭과 두께 등의 기하학적 형상과 미세 조직, 그리고 미세경도 등의 특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 용사 전류를 120amp로 사용한 경우 미세조직이 조밀하고 미세경도 값이 가장 높은 값을 나타내는 개질층을 얻을 수 있었다. 전류를 증가함에 따라 개질층의 폭은 증가하지만 높이는 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

The spacer, which is located between the bucket and the arm of an excavator, has a role in preventing damage to the excavator arm during excavation work. When the durability of the spacer is increased, the lifetime of the arm can be extended and the processing costs can be reduced. To increase the durability of the spacer, tungsten carbide (WC) coating was applied on the surface of a spacer using the plasma transferred arc (PTA) process. The confirm the durability, a wear test using a pin-on disk type of wear testing machine was done under the given conditions and the wear amount on the surface of a tested specimen was measured using reflective digital holography. The results were compared with that of ALPHA-STEP.

In general, nickel-base superalloy has been extensively used as land-based gas turbine blades and vanes. Plasma transferred arc welding(PTAW) has been considered as a repair welding process of nickel-base superalloy. This research evaluated the relationship between hot ductility behavior and hot cracking susceptibility in nickel-base superalloys. Ductility recovery rate of nickel base superalloys was found to be poor due to incipient melting and constitutional liquation. This seems to increase the hot cracking susceptibility.

The formation of a thicker hard alloyed layer have been investigated on the surface of aluminum cast alloy (AC2B) by PTA overlaying process with Cr, Cu and Ni motel powders under the condition of overlaying current 125-200A. overlaying speed 150 mm/min and different powder feeding rate 5-20 g/min. In addition the characteristics of hardening and wear resistance of alloyed layer here been examined in relation to the microstructure of alloyed layer. Main results obtained were summarized as follows: 1) There was an optimum overlaying condition to get a good alloyed layer with smooth surface. This good layer became easy to be formed as increasing overlaying current and decreasing powder feeding rate under a constant overlaying speed. 2) Cu powder was the most superior one in metal powders used due to a wide optimum overlaying condition range, uniform hardness distribution of Hv250-350, good oar resistance and freedom from cracking in alloyed layer with fine hyper-eutectic structure. 3) On the contrary, irregular hardness distribution was usually obtained in Cr ar Ni alloyed layers of which hardness was increased as Cr or Ni contents and reached to maximum hardness of about Hv400-850 at about 60wt%cr or 40wt%Ni in alloyed layer. 4) Cracking occurred in Cr or Ni alloyed layers with higher hardness than Hv250-300 at mere than 20-25wt% of Cr or Ni contents in alloyed layer. Porosity was observed in all alloyed layers but decreased by usage of spherical powder with smooth surface.

엔진 밸브 시트와 페이스는 엔진 성능에 영향을 미치므로 내마모성, 내열성 및 내식성이 요구된다. 이러한 특성을 갖는 표면층을 형성하기 위해 일반적으로 PTA 프로세스를 사용하고 있지만 넓은 열 영향부와 높은 모재 희석 등과 같은 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 단점을 개선한 레이저 클래딩은 희석률이 낮고 열 영향 및 열 변형을 최소화하므로 더욱 우수한 클래드 층을 형성할 수 있다. 하지만 레이저 빔의 특성상 넓은 면적을 클래딩 할 경우, 1 패스 클래드 층의 중첩이 불가피하다. 중첩률 기준을 빔 사이즈와 클래드 층 폭으로 나누어 멀티패스 클래드 층을 형성한 결과, 기준에 관계없이 중첩률이 증가할수록 클래드 층의 폭이 감소하고 높이가 증가하였다. 하지만 빔 사이즈 기준 중첩률 조건으로 형성된 멀티패스 클래드 층이 다른 기준보다 모재 희석이 감소하여 더욱 높은 경도 값을 나타내었다. 결론적으로, 중첩률 기준을 클래드 층 폭으로 할 경우, 클래드 층 형상에 영향을 주는 공정변수가 변할 때 마다 폭의 길이가 달라지기 때문에 빔 사이즈를 중심으로 중첩률을 정의하였다.
