In the current study microwave energy has been used to develop composite clad of Ni+10% Cr3C2 (by wt%) on SS-316L substrate in a domestic microwave oven, generally used for low-temperature applications, having a frequency range of 2.45GHz and 900W power. The developed composite clad are characterized by various metallurgical and mechanical techniques such as SEM/EDS, XRD, and Vickers microhardness. The developed composite clad of thickness 750µm, having fine microstructure without any visible cracks and significantly less porosity. The microhardness of developed composite clad has evaluated 430±65 HV. The various hard carbide phases Cr3Si, NiC, Cr3Ni2SiC, CrSi2, SiC, and FeNi3 have been confirmed from XRD examination.
