ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ УПРОЧНЕНИЯ ТВЕРДЫМ СПЛАВОМ СМЕННЫХ ДЕТАЛЕЙ МЕТАЛЛУРГИЧЕСКИХ АГРЕГАТОВ

Composite  materials  (CM)  are  widely  used  for  hardening  of  wearing parts operating at high temperature wear types. They are based  on  high-melting  hard  alloys,  as  which  are  used  carbides  of  transition  metals  of  IV – VI  groups A  determining  the  physics  of  high-temperature wear. For these purposes baked TiC of TN 20 type on the basis  of (Ti, Mo)C – Ni – Mo is used that has a ring structure preventing the  formation of complex alloyed structures on the bounda ry of solid particle-matrix. Due to the minimal solubility of the sintered hard alloy of  TN 20 type in the alloy-bond, at the interface of solid particle – matrix  practically does not stand out complex structural phases causing embrittlement and growth of residual thermal stresses and strains. It leads  to increased wear resistance and longer service life of hardened parts.  In order to increase the opera ting efficiency of metallurgical units due  to  hardening  of  spare  parts  with  a  composite  material  based  on  sintered hard alloy of the TN 20 type using electroslag surfacing (ESW),  a comprehensive program has been developed to control the efficiency  of hardening parts. In the management of hard alloy surfacing the special  attention  is  given  to  heat  and  high  temperature  wear  resistance  determined  by  the  set  of  CM  properties  of  solid  particles.  Therefore,  maintaining of high mechanical, thermal and energy characteristics of  carbides and decrease of the solubility of solid particles in a CM matrix  at surfacing is a priority for improving efficiency in hardening process  of spare parts. Integrated ESW management program for CM is based  on  effects,  aimed  to  prevent  the  formation  of  complex  alloyed  structures on surface of the solid section of particle-matrix; to reduce thermal stresses and deformations (leading to the cracks formation, chipping and deleting solid particles in abrasive wear) and to improve high  temperature wear resistance. Use of the developed control systems for  hardening  process  of  metallurgical  equipment  wearing  parts  has  significantly  increased  the  service  life  of  spare  parts  and  producti vity  of  the metallurgical units, which ensured a certain economic effect.
