Hardfacing metals are widely used in arc welding and plasma transfer arc technologies and industries. However, application of hardfacing in agriculture is limited due to low toughness after weld depositing. This study was focused on destabilization of high chromium hardfacing metal. The hardfacing was destabilized at 900 and 1,000°C in the different treatment time intervals. Destabilization treatment showed precipitation of secondary carbides leading to partial transformation of austenite to martensite phase in the matrix. The results show that increasing destabilization temperature increased volume of carbide phase in austenitic matrix which affects abrasive wear resistance.

The effect of destabilization heat treatment on the microstructure, hardness, fracture toughness and abrasive wear resistance of high chromium hardfacing was investigated. The results from the study shows that the hardness, frac­ture toughness and abrasive wear resistance are influenced by temperature of destabilization heat treatment and air and furnace cooling conditions, respectively. Destabilization treatment of materials by furnace cooling caused higher secondary carbides in the dendritic austenite whilst by air cooling it showed smaller particles of secondary carbide. Also, it was found that destabilization temperature at 1,000°C improves hardness compared with hardfacing after weld depositing. The study, however, indicated that Palmqvist fracture toughness method is a useful technique for measuring the fracture toughness of high chromium hardfacing compared to Vicker’s hardness method.

The current investigation discusses the effect of Mn and Si contents on the microstructure and abrasive wear characteristic in Fe-based hard-facing alloy. A series of Fe-based hard-facing alloys are successfully fabricated onto the S45C steel by gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Results reveal that microstructure contains great amounts of martensite phases and moderate amounts of austenite phases. Si element added into Fe-based hard-facing alloy can not obviously affect the properties of the claddings, such as martensite phase, hardness, and abrasive wear resistance. Nevertheless, Mn element added into Fe-based hard-facing alloy can efficiently affect the martensite phase, hardness, and abrasive wear resistance of the claddings. The martensite contents decreases with the increasing of Mn contents in the cladding layers. The hardness increases as the Mn contents decreases, because the martensite contents increases. The abrasive wear resistance is not only related to the hardness of the cladding layer but the martensite contents of the cladding layer. The abrasive wear resistance is an inverse proportion to Mn contents of the cladding layers. Especially, the cladding layers containing 1.4Si-0.3Mn has the highest hardness of HRC 60.1 and the lowest wear loss of 0.37g.

This paper studies the influence of variables such as holding temperatures and times during austempering of High Chromium White Cast Iron (HCWCI), with the following chemical composition: Cr 25 %, C 3 %, Si 0.47 %, Mn 0.74 % and Mo 1.02 %. The aim of the austempering was to modify the percentage of retained austenite and its correlation to abrasive wear resistance under different conditions.Microhardness tests, SEM-EDS and XRD were performed to determine mechanical properties, chemical composition, and type of carbides and microstructures present, respectively. The tests complied with the ASTM G-65 standard. Results showed that the best performance against abrasion was achieved for austempering at 450 ºC with holding time of 6 hours.

Rotavator blades are prone to significant wear because of the abrasive nature of sand particles. The aim of this research work is to investigate the effect of cryogenic treatment and post tempering on abrasive wear behavior, in the presence of angular quartz sand (grain size of 212–425 μm), of rotavator blade material of boron steel (30MnCrB4). Cryogenic treatment has caused an improvement in the abrasive wear resistance and microhardness of 30MnCrB4 by 60% and 260.73%, respectively, compared to untreated material due to enhancement in hardness, the conversion of retained austenite into martensite, and the precipitation of secondary carbides in boron steel after exposure to cryogenic temperature. Economic analysis justifies the additional cost of cryogenic treatment.

The article discusses test results concerning an innovative surface layer obtained using the cladding with powder plasma transferred arc welding (PPTAW) method. The above-named layer, being a metal matrix composite (MCM), is characterised by high abrasive wear resistance, resistance to pressure and impact loads, and the possibility of operation at elevated temperatures. The layer was made using powder in the form of a cobalt alloy-based composite reinforced with monocarbide TiC particles and superhard spherical particles of synthetic metal–diamond composite provided with tungsten coating. The surface layer was deposited on a sheet made of low-alloy structural steel grade AISI 4715. The layer is intended for surfaces of inserts of drilling tools used in the extraction industry. The results showed the lack of the thermal and structural decomposition of the hard layer reinforcing the matrix during the cladding process, its very high resistance to metal-mineral abrasive wear and its resistance to moderate impact loads. The abrasive wear resistance of the deposited layer with particles of TiC and synthetic metal–diamond composite was about than 140 times higher than the abrasive wear resistance of abrasion resistant heat-treated steel having a nominal hardness of 400 HBW. The use of diamond as a metal matrix reinforcement in order to increase the abrasive resistance of the PPTAW overlay layer is a new and innovative area of inquiry. There is no information related to tests concerning metal matrix surface layers reinforced with synthetic metal–diamond composite and obtained using PPTAW method.
