Abstract:

The working surface of a camshaft is easily worn during service, thus seriously affecting the normal operation of the machine. The pitting areas on the working surface of the camshaft were repaired using cold-welding equipment. A metallographic microscope was used to observe the microstructure of the repaired area, and the residual stress distribution and hardness distribution around the repaired areas were determined using an X-ray residual stress tester and a hardness tester, respectively. The results show that the repair welding spot is well combined with the matrix, the carbides precipitated from austenite are dispersed in the matrix structure, the position of the repair welding spot presents the minimum residual stress and the minimum hardness value, and the influence of the repair welding spot on the residual stress and hardness is maintained within around 4 mm of the repaired areas. The camshaft repaired via cold welding meets the service performance requirements.

Key words: cold-welding repair, camshaft, residual stress, hardness
