To quickly repair the inner-surface damage to the hydraulic support cylinder caused by frequent scratches, corrosion, and wear in the process of fully mechanized coal mining, this paper proposes a method of high-frequency induction cladding (HIC) copper alloy on inner-wall of cylinder (IWC) to improve the corrosion, sealing and pressure retention performance of hydraulic cylinders combined with numerical simulation and experimental study. Firstly, a numerical temperature field model for HIC of copper alloy on the IWC is established to investigate various distribution patterns and influencing factors including frequency of induction heating, gap between coil and cladding, power supply rating, cladding thickness and side length of square section of induction coil, etc. Subsequently, an HIC test experiment is conducted to rigorously validate the numerical temperature field model and the experiment employs a meticulously collected dataset of temperature measurements, confirming the model’s accuracy and consistent alignment with anticipated changing trends. In addition, the experiment results were verified through microstructure observation, microhardness testing, friction-wear testing, and electrochemical corrosion parameters, which shows that the factors of induction heating frequency and others have obvious effects on the temperature field distribution of HIC copper alloy on the IWC. Under these working conditions (cladding thickness 1.5 mm, power supply rating 120 kW, heating frequency 120 kHz, gap between the cylindrical workpiece and the induction coil 3 mm, induction coil cross-sectional side length of 10 mm), the thermal impact on the cylinder barrel matrix is minimal, the metallurgical bonding between the cladding layer and the matrix is good, and there are no over burning and porosity defects.
