metengr, but our client requires us to use Stellite 6 without a butter layer. Actually we already have a newly qualified WPS also hardfacing using stellite but different base material (A36 and A487) and this is the last WPS we need to qualify but I am a little bit stuck up on what else I can do...
Hi,
I am creating a new WPS for hardfacing overlay of AISI 4130 Q&T using the parameters below:
Base metal Tensile: 655 MPa; Hardness: 235 HBW
Filler: Stellite 6 (SFA-5.21; ERCoCr-A)
Process: GTAW
Preheat temp: 225ºC
Current: 90-94 A
Voltage: 10-13 V
Travel Speed: 50-90 mm/min
Heat Input: 0.921...
