The Properties of High Chromium Hardfacings Made with Using Pulsed Arc

The paper discusses the possibility of using pulsed arc hardfacing for depositing high chromium and carbon surfaces. In these studies self-shielded cored wire was used as a material for hardfacing. Pulsed arc is used in welding technologies to better control of transport molten metal in the welding arc and heat input. The correct heat input results in limited dilution surfaces that is very important in wear prevention technologies. The paper presents the results of research on the geometric parameters and hardness of deposited surfaces. The investigation was carried out with various welding parameters that were designed in heat source. The survey was conducted on the specimens that were subjected to metallographic examination hardness test.
