Electro-slag heating of parts surfaces by welding of protective coatings by the method of immersion

Abstract

One of the effective methods of surfacing protective coatings on large areas, as well as the formation of permanent joints is the method of immersion (dipping) of parts into the melt. In order to increase the productivity of this method, the quality of surfacing is proposed to heat the work surfaces of the parts with an electroslag method. The rational regimes for its realization are determined by calculation. A mathematical model is proposed for heating the contacting layers of a solid body, slag and melt, taking into account the Joule heat released during the passage of an electric current. The corresponding problem is solved numerically with the help of the method of finite differences. The results are discussed, practical recommendations are presented.
