Effect of cyclic loads on fatigue behavior of Ni–Cr–B–Si cladding on 316L(N) SS using PTA process

316L(N) stainless steel (SS) components in Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors (SFRs) are hardfaced with NiCrBSi alloy in order to avoid self-welding. Hardfacing is performed by the plasma transferred arc welding (PTA) process, as it gives lesser dilution. Cyclic loads are acting at the substrate/cladding i...
