Hardfacing involves depositing a required superior material over a substrate for improving its surface properties like wear and corrosion to function properly in the given working conditions. For example, normally, carbide forming elements that have excellent tribological properties are fused over the steel substrates for the improvement in performance or life. The cited research work described in this article has been undertaken to investigate the suitability of the substrate and the coating material to be used for high temperature applications such as turbine blade which has to work against the corrosive and erosive working environment. The failure of the turbine blades is predominantly due to combustion by-products exhausted from the combustion chamber attributed to high temperature and velocity. In this research work, medium carbon steel EN24 substrate was hardfaced with the coating material nickel-based alloy Inconel 625 selected for its toughness, high corrosion and creep resistance using MIG welding process. The experiments were conducted as a means to improve the surface properties of the turbine blades through hardfacing. The results of the experiments indicated that the properties of Inconel 625 can be comfortably used as turbine blades.
