Abstract
Surface hardening techniques of steel are of important practical significance for the production of wear-resistant parts. Hardfacing is a well-recognized technique that is efficient and economical. In this work, a martensitic stainless steel hardfacing coating was deposited by multiple-pass MIG welding. The surface wear and corrosion resistance of the Q345 steel were significantly improved by the coating. The bonding strength between the substrate and the coating is greater than the tensile strength of the substrate. The microstructure of the coating consists of lath martensite embedded with (Cr, Fe)7C3 particles. The formation of martensite in the coating plays a vital role in improving the wear resistance and bonding strength. The presence of a large amount of chromium imparts excellent corrosion resistance to the coating. The wear resistance increases while the corrosion resistance decreases in the order of X12Cr13, X20Cr13, and X30Cr13 coatings. X30Cr13 coating has the best wear resistance among these three coatings. Hence, the optimum coating is X30Cr13 coating. These results highlight new possibilities for the surface hardening of steel.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
