This study has been done on one of the most important types of industrial metals, which is plain-carbon steel (low carbon steel). This type of steel with his family characterized by very using wide range industry, because of its good technical properties and it’s relatively low cost. One of disadvantages for this type of steel it’s relatively low hardness, which does not respond to the heat treatment by hardening process. Hence, we adopt cladding process by using high alloy stainless steel electrode E309L. Four symmetrical samples in shape have been worked with changing some control factors and welding parameters, we obtained very high hardness for four samples in study case. We can say with no hesitation that, cladding process in all samples gained a complete successful with excellent surface hardness and stainless steel properties
