Electro Slag Strip Cladding versus SAStrip Cladding

[bmoorthy]

Hello All

All other variables remaining same which is superior process (ESSC) or SASC? From the point of view of SS Overlay/Inconel 625 Overlay.

Which has high heat input and What is the expected Basemental chemistry proportion in the first layer of Welding (Dilution properties)?

ASME Sec II C does not deal with SS/NF ESSC Flux. Is there any other Standard that specifies the guideline for SASC or ESSC.

You may wish to look at an article from TWI at

It is questionable if the elements you submit are sufficient to identify a "superior" process. If dilution is a problem it is usually controlled using a buttering layer. Current is the parameter having the highest influence on dilution.

If you want to evaluate between the two options for strip cladding, I would contact esab.com. These folks are about the best in terms of information on strip cladding processes. Here is there web site;
