Vision-based quantification of WC loss during Ni-WC MMC overlay deposition across various GMAW transfer modes

Ni–WC metal matrix composite (MMC) overlays deposited by gas metal arc welding (GMAW) are widely used for wear-resistant hardfacing, but conventional measurements of retained-WC cannot distinguish physical particle loss during deposition from WC dissolution within the molten pool...
