Studying inheritance of properties in the "consumable-base material" system at electroslag surfacing

The results of electroslag surfacing with shot from carbon steel (~ 1% C) previously subjected to varying degrees of mechanical stress, work hardening, are presented. The work hardening was carried out by its 50-cycle use in a shot blasting machine, as well as in the process of ball burnishing in a ball mill. The possibility of influence of such type of treatment on the change in the microstructure of the deposited metal was established. When forming a metal with a dendritic-cellular structure, the use of preliminary work hardening of shot allows to reduce the secondary dendrite arm spacing (the distance between secondary dendrite arms) by approx. 40% and reduce the size of cells by approx. 20-30%.
