The article describes the preparation and comparative wear resistance testing Fe-Cr-C- (B) coating materials, intended to harden the working bodies of agricultural machines, using high-performance method of inductive surfacing, and contains the results of microstructure analysis of such coatings. These coatings are made of powder compositions, based on PG-US25 high-chromium cast iron, and borate flux for inductive surfacing of P-0.66 grade, modified with W, B, Cr carbides in amounts from 2...5 to 25...30 wt.%, which can be applied to machine’s elements without significant technology changes. Modifying agents were commercial products (WC-W2C / Co spherical cast tungsten carbide, B4C abraser). The article demonstrates that the injection of these complexes into the fusion mixture for inductive surfacing can increase their hardness (up to 1000...1200 HV100) and wear resistance of the surfacing metal 3.1...4.5 times, compared to the base metal (65G steel), and 1.3...1.8 times, compared to the base material. The observed changes in coatings characteristics are explained by Charpy effect, dispersion hardening and the formation of new phases in the coatings (boride eutectics).
Innovative technology of HDTV-borating, that is distinguished by high hardness, strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance occupies a special place among the hardening processes for steels and construction materials. During the new technology process HDTV-boration of structural steel 65Mn (65Г in Russian) under a mix layer of charge mixture based on fused borate fluxing agent P-0.66, boron carbide and intermetallic compounds FexAly, NixAly. Using the methods of X-ray phase analysis, spectrography and metallography, the composition and structure of coatings were determined, the microhardness distribution over the coating thickness was studied. In the coatings, new phases of intermetallic compounds, the double superhard boride Fe2AlB2, were found; in the coatings, the base iron boride is FeB, what leads to an increase in their hardness and wear resistance. Modification of boride coatings formed by intermetallic compounds with melting temperatures close to the process temperature of HFC surfacing leads to a decrease in the cracks number and the appearance of new consumer qualities of the material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
