Experimental study demonstrates welding current balances wear and corrosion resistance in MAG arc-cladded stainless steel, suggesting optimized parameters for surface enhancement.
Corrosion-resistant coatings with a double-layer structure are deposited on the surface of S30408 stainless steel at welding currents of 170 A, 200 A, and 230 A using metal active gas (MAG) arc welding technology. The influence of welding current on the microstructure, microhardness, wear resistance, and electrochemical corrosion behavior of the coating is systematically studied. The results show that the coating produced at 200 A exhibited the finest martensitic structure, the highest microhardness (~450 HV), and the lowest mass loss (139.9 mg), indicating its superior wear resistance. In contrast, the coating fabricated at 230 A displayed the most positive corrosion potential (−0.302 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE)) in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, which is attributed to enhanced elemental homogenization arising from the higher heat input. This paper clarifies the critical role of welding current in balancing wear and corrosion performance and provides a practical guideline for the cost-effective surface enhancement of S30408 steel components.
