Abstract

Induction cladding is a surface strengthening technique that integrates induction heating and cladding. However, the complex coupling effects of multiple physical fields make it challenging to establish the relationships between processing parameters and cladding quality. This study aims to determine the optimization strategy for induction cladding by considering the electrical parameter of loading frequency and structural parameter of coil clearance ratio. An orthogonal test was designed with loading frequencies at three temperature stages and three clearance ratios. Four indexes were tested, including cladding interface thermal stress, penetration zone (PZ) thickness ratio, phase transition zone (PTZ) thickness ratio, and heat-affected zone (HAZ) thickness ratio. Results showed loading frequency significantly affected interface thermal stress and PZ thickness while clearance ratio mainly influenced PTZ and HAZ thickness. The optimized processes on the condition of the numerical simulation were determined as: 0.05 coil clearance ratio, 25 kHz frequency at < 200 °C, 120 kHz at 200-800 °C, and 240 kHz at > 800 °C. This study provides a processing optimization method by tracking and adjusting time-varying sensitivity parameters for high-quality induction cladding. The strategy can be extended to other surface strengthening techniques involving complex coupling effects.
