Abstract
Relationship was established between electrical and technological parameters of electroslag cladding conducted in a current-conducting mould by using a non-consumable hollow electrode, which allows control of the process of deposition of a multi-component metal with the g¢-Ni3Al aluminide based matrix on the end surfaces of 25--90 mm diameter parts. It is shown that with a double-loop DC circuit powering the slag pool the processes running in the hollow electrode-workpiece cladding circuit have a dominant influence on heat released in the pool.
Keywords: electroslag cladding, current-conducting mould, modelling, double-loop power circuit, hollow electrode, current and voltage topology, process power, formation of deposited metal
