The characteristic of cold metal transfer (CMT) and its application for cladding

Corrosion and wear has been a major challenge in most of our industries. Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) process has been selected as a weld technique in most manufacturing industries, because of its low heat inputs that makes it a promising method for manufacturing application. The aim of this paper is to study the competence of CMT welding process in cladding of mild steel. Furthermore, fault tree analysis was performed for hot cracking that can probably be experienced during cladding.
