  • Hardfacing of wear-resistant deposits by MAG welding with a flux-cored wire having graphite in its filling
    Kejžar, Rajko ; Grum, Janez, 1946-
    A high carbon content in a ledeburite-martensite deposit provides high wear resistance. This can be accomplished in hardfacing by MAG welding with coveredelectrodes, alloying fluxes, and flux-cored ... wires. Hardfacing with covered electrodes is not efficient, whereas application of alloying fluxes issuitable only for the flat welding position. Hardfacing by flux-cored MAG welding, however, is efficient and suitable also for out-of-position welding, i.e., in the horizontal-vertical and overhead positions, which is particularlyimportant in maintenance. The paper deals with the investigations of the influence of hardfacing-weld alloying by means of the cored-wire filling in hardfacing both by CO 2 welding and welding with no externally supplied shielding medium. The efficiency of alloying the hardfacing weld depended on the composition and the filling ratio of the wire. In hardfacing of martensite-ledeburite deposits, the high carbon content in the deposit was provided by the addition of graphite to the cored-wire filling. A result of the high graphite content in the filling was a reduction of the filling ratio of the wire, and, consequently, weaker alloying of the hardfacing weld. As little as 10 wt.% graphite in the wire filling substantially affects alloying of the hardfacing weld. In this case, the amount of carbide-forming elements in the hardfacing weld will be reduced by around 4 wt.% whereas the carbon content will increase by as little as 1%, which, however, is enough to obtain high-quality martensite-ledeburite wear-resistant deposits with S-BC3 cored wires and with no externally supplied shielding medium of which the chemical composition, structure, and wear resistance were quite comparable to those obtained with a CrWC 600 covered wire (produced by SZ-Elektrode, Jesenice). Advantages of the cored wire over the covered electrode are substantially higher performance and lower consumption of the electric current.
