Microstructure and Abrasive Wear Behaviour of Nickel Based Hardfacing Stainless Steel Deposited by Gas Metal Arc Welding

Article Preview

Abstract:

Wear is one of the foremost issues faced in manufacturing industries that reduces the lifestyles of machine elements and will increase the running costs. Therefore, hardfacing is extensively employed by industry professionals to minimise the wear of moving components. In this research work, a nickel based alloy recognized as Hastelloy C-276 was strengthened on stainless steel (316L) substrate via the usage of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) technique. The coating thickness used to be assorted was from 1 to 3 mm on the substrate. The optical microstructure of the interface revealed the defect-free fusion between hardface and substrate metals. Microhardness (Hv) and three-body abrasive put on test have proven that the hardfaced alloy metal posses higher hardness and effective wear resistance. The worn surface morphologies have been found using SEM in order to perceive the involved wear mechanisms.
