Heat Resistance of Steel N8G6M3FTB Obtained by Surfacing Cored Wire

Abstract:

The operational reliability of rolling production tools depends on the heat resistance of the steel from which they are made. To increase the performance of the rolls, a hardening surfacing with wear-resistant alloys is used. The effectiveness of the applied hardening technology depends on the functional characteristics of the deposited metal. The aim of the work is to study the tempering resistance in the state after heat treatment of the deposited steel (Fe-C-Ni-Mn-Mo-V-Ti-Nb system). It was established that the thermal resistance coefficient of steel 15N8G6M3FTB at temperatures from 650 to 800 °C varies from 0.76 to 0.66, which exceeds the heat resistance of steel 30Kh2V8F by 1.5 times. It is shown that in the fine structure of such a metal after tempering at 800 °C, large amounts of finely dispersed precipitates are observed. These precipitates have a rounded shape up to 100 nm in size and belong to the Laves phases - Fe₂Mo, Fe₂Nb, and Fe₂Ti. The obtained high heat resistance values of 15N8G6M3FTB steel make it possible to recommend it for creating surfacing materials. Flux-cored wire based on this steel can be used for hardfacing hardening of tools operating at temperatures up to 800 °C inclusive.
