Armor with Hyper-Entropic Behaviour and Self-Protection

Abstract:

The paper presents research conducted in order to achieve some self-shielding armor with high and pre-established strength to intense wear abrasion combined with corrosion, in damp environment, with sulfur content, at temperatures up to 500°C. The first stage was dedicated to the elaboration of the concept of armor and the hardfacing technology, using a hyper-entropic filler metal which assures a self-protection characteristic. The samples used in the experiment were mild steel plates covered with weld in the rhomboid form. In the next stage some investigations were conducted in order to manufacture of new welding materials such as Fe-22%Cr-Mo-V deposited by welding in certain circumstances, having the hardness after welding about 30 HRC. This weld deposit becomes harder after a short working time, having average hardness value of 55 HRC. In stage three some exploratory research was done in order to establish the welding parameters for obtaining the self-protection layers of hyper-entropic material. In the final stage the armor element achieved was tested, to determine performance characteristics during working into the mill fan. After 2 weeks, some samples were sectioned in order to measure the hardening effect during working.
