Article Synopsis
- The development of a laser cladding repair strategy, utilizing the new 415SS martensitic stainless-steel alloy, is essential for enhancing heavy-haul railway networks due to its compatibility with premium hypereutectoid rails.
- Non-destructive neutron diffraction techniques were applied to assess the residual stress within various layers of the cladded material, revealing significant internal stress distributions across different heat treatments and grinding operations.
- The research indicates that the optimal combination of 540 °C tempering and minimal surface removal results in beneficial compressive stress in the cladding while minimizing tensile stresses in the heat-affected zone, highlighting the alloy's advantageous properties compared to existing standards.
