Sliding Wear of Composite Stainless Steel Hardfacing under Room and Elevated Temperature

Abstract:

The present research focuses onto sliding wear of novel plasma transferred arc welded (PTAW) hardfacing with the stainless steel (DIN X3CrNiMo18-13-3) matrix, reinforced with WC/W₂C, under the room and elevated temperature. The hardfacing was produced, applying the optimized set of parameters (current – 55 A, reciprocating speed – 1.0 mm/s, oscillation frequency – 0.6 Hz). The average reinforcement content was 29.3 ± 4.0 vol %. The reinforcement consisted of W₂C and WC, while M₇C₃- and M₂₃C₆-type (M = Fe, Cr, Mo, W) carbides were the main phases in the matrix. Universal hardness and Young’s modulus were approximately 5.3 and 1.9 times higher, than those of the reference steel (DIN X2CrNiMo18-14-3). The sliding wear of the hardfacing was 4.9 times lower under 20 °C and 3.1 times lower under 300 °C, but 1.8 times higher under 500 °C than the wear of the reference steel. Galling was the wear mechanism of the hardfacing under 20 °C, scoring – under 300 °C and combination of scoring and binder extrusion – under 500 °C
