Investigation of the steel parts’ hardsurfacing overlays properties

Abstract

The article describes the studies’ results of steels with applied boron-based hardsurfacing overlays. The overlay was done in four different ways. The materials obtained differed in chemical composition, properties and wear resistance. A detailed technical process of surfacing and the surfacing charge composition, which makes it possible to obtain the necessary material, is given. Studies of hardness, macro- and microstructure, chemical and X-ray phase composition of the obtained materials have been carried out. The descriptions of the overlays’ characteristic phases are made and their properties are given. The chemical composition of the obtained overlays has been determined by the emission spectroscopy method. The X-ray phase analysis of the samples has also been carried out and the percentage of the additional modifier introduced into the overlays has been determined. Based on the results of the studies carried out, the conclusions about the optimal method of metal hardening have been drawn.
