Abstract
The paper presents results of a study on the effect of the flux density of heat carried away for the remelting area to substrate in the course of
surface remelting with concentrated heat stream on values of structural parameters λ1D and λ2D of α(Al) phase dendrites in C355 alloy. The
remeltings were made with the use of GTAW method, at arc current intensity I = 200 A and concentrated heat stream scanning speed vs =
200, 400, 600, and 800 mm/min. The used protective gas was argon supplied at rate of 20 l/min. It has been found that the increase of the
rate of scanning with concentrated heat stream results in a change of the remelting-substrate separation surface shape consisting in reduction
of the remelting width and depth. This increases the value of the flux density of heat transmitted from the remelting area to substrate which
in turn acts in favor of reduction of structural parameters λ1D and λ2D characterizing α(Al) phase dendrites in C355 alloy.
