Dear team,
We have a requirement of cladding ERCuAl-A2 over low alloy steel (40mm thk) , how ever during initial trials we have found failure of samples in transverse bend test

Hardness ranges between 250 - 270HV and welding carried by using GTAW process.

Was your first layer a pure nickel overlay then followed by the ERCuAl-A2?

Noo... We directly used ERCuAl-A2, any barrier layer required?

What is the purpose of the clad?
Gtaw will have gone beyond the heat treat temper.
