Simulation of Microstructures in Laser Clad Nickel Aluminum Bronzes

Abstract

Experiments to assess the usefulness of weld simulation techniques for understanding phase transformations in the laser cladding of nickel aluminum bronzes showed all weld zones could be successfully simulated using a thermomechanical simulator. Insights into phase transformations were shown to be possible by combining metallography with dilatometry.
