Consumable\u0000electrodes differed in the content of carbide-forming elements, and pad welds were deposited onto the S235JR\u0000structural. The CE tests, conducted according to ASTM G32 standard, indicated that hardfacings reveal\u0000lower mass loss than the reference stainless steel AISI 304 (X5CrNi18-10). The hardfacings show increasing\u0000resistance to CE in the following order: Cr-C < Cr-C-Mo < Cr-C-Mo-V-W. The reference steel revealed more\u0000than twenty times higher material loss in the CE test than Cr-C-Mo-V-W hardfacing, which had outstanding\u0000hardness (825HV0.3). The profilometric measurements and scanning electron microscopy investigations\u0000showed large changes in valley and peak sizes of the roughness profiles for materials which displayed high\u0000erosion rates. The erosion mechanism of the coatings can be classified as brittle-ductile and relies on cracking,\u0000chunk removal of material, pits and craters formation, and deformation of fractured material tips and edges.\u0000Hardfacing materials failed primarily due to brittle fractures with different severities. Specimen surface\u0000degradation follows the changes in Ra, Rz, Rv, and Rp roughness parameters and well-corresponds to the\u0000proposed roughness rate (RR) parameter.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":35004,"journal":{"name":"Tribologia: Finnish Journal of Tribology","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87753840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
