A COMPOSITE WELDING WIRE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING

摘要

The present invention is a composite welding wire for fusion welding of components manufactured of superalloys. The composite weld wire includes an inner core wire and a surface layer applied and bonded to the inner core wire. The surface layer includes alloying elements selected from among B and Si with a total bulk content of B and Si in the composite welding wire of 0.1 to 10 wt. %. Preferably the total bulk content of B is less than 4 wt. % and the surface layer comprises from 5 to 95 wt. % of the alloying elements selected from among B and Si.
