Abstract

Mechanical components in turbines and power plants fail frequently due to wear, corrosion, and oxidation. Cladding is a surface modification technique to minimize surface degeneration. In the present work, microwave cladding of Nickel performed for the surface and mechanical enhancement of S45C mild steel. The home microwave was successfully used to carry out the cladding procedures by Microwave Hybrid Heating [MHH] method. Physical and mechanical properties improved with microwave cladding. The devolved microwave clad have potential application in wear resistance product manufacturing.
