Abstract : This paper deals with the comparative studies of clad overlays fabricated by Gas metal Arc Welding process under conventional conditions and generating the vibrations in the weld pool by external means. SS 316L claddings over low carbon steel as base material has been used for the present work. Mechanical vibrations were induced in the weld pool during cladding process by a set up capable of providing vibrations to the work table of varying frequency and amplitude. Due to vibrations during the cooling of the weldment the grain structure obtained has been observed to be more refined with lesser base metal dilution. Clad specimens were tested against the intergranular and pitting corrosion. Boling nitric acid and ferric chloride tests were conducted on the extracted specimens from the experimentation. An overall improvement in the corrosion resistance of the clad specimens were observed in the clad specimens fabricated under the conditions of vibrating weld pool as compared to conventional GMAW process. Key words - Clad overlays, Weld pool vibrations, Corrosion resistance, Intergranular corrosion, Pitting corrosion
