RESUMO
The superficial coatings in micro-alloyed steel pipes has been a pointed way to decrease the corrosion problems in oil and gas industry. However, little emphasis has been given to the substrate. The effects of the deposition method on the steel microstructure and properties are still not well described. In this context, this work studied the effect of Ni superalloys clads on the phase transformations, microstructure and hardness of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of an API steel. The underestimate of the HAZ might be dangerous, since, despite the coating good corrosion performance, the substrate HAZ may present a weak region, which may lead to an in-service coating tearing. In this work, Inconel 625 and Hastelloy C276 superalloys were clad on the steel surface by a laser deposition. Dilatometry, optical and scanning electron microscopy, and computational simulation were applied. The studied steel was originally constituted by tempered martensite. The austentizing temperature had a strong influence on the austenite grain size and on the steel CCT diagram. Due to that, the laser superalloy deposits promoted a complex HAZ, where grain growth occurred. A post-cladding heat treatment was proposed to homogenize the steel microstructure and to decrease the hardness gradient at the superalloy-steel interface.
