Optimizing the Characteristics of the Laser Hardfacing Process Parameters to Maximize the Wear Resistance of Ni-Based Hard-Faced Deposits Using the RSM Technique

The nickel-based Colmonoy-5 hardfacing alloy is used to hard-face 316LN austenitic stainless steel components in fast reactors. The nominal composition (in wt%) was listed as follows: 0.01 C, 0.49 Si, 0.87 Mn, 17.09 Cr, 14.04 Ni, 2.56 Mo, 0.14 N, and balance Fe. Hardfacing is a technique of applying...
