Abstract
- The hardfacings reinforced by recycled (cermet inserts of machining tools) WC-Co composite particles applied by manual arc welding can be used for protection against abrasive and erosive wear. Two categories of coatings were analyzed: with and without thermal treatment (local remelting). The hardfacings were tested under abrasive (low and medium stress) and erosive (high stress) conditions. In elevated temperature erosive conditions, coatings without heat treatment have up to two times higher wear resistance than reference material. Under low-stress conditions, coatings with the finest reinforcing particle size (180–355 µm) treated with local remelting demonstrated more than 10 times higher wear resistance than reference material. The optimal reinforcement size selection depends on the application conditions (low, average, or high stress). In most test conditions, the local remelting did not provide additional improvement. A scanning electron microscope was used for the characterization of wear mechanisms. The relation between mechanical properties and wear rates was found only for some conditions.
