Abstract

The effect of Mo on the abrasive wear resistance of (20–23)Cr-(7–8)Nb hard-faced S355JR steel by shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) was studied. Four types of flux, consisting of fixed Cr and Nb but varying Mo contents, coated on hard-facing electrode were used. Microstructure, micro hardness, and abrasive wear resistance of the hard-faced surface were investigated by ASTM G65 D procedure. The original microstructures consist of the primary coarse and eutectic carbides. Mo affects morphology of carbides by decreasing primary carbide size. When Mo content in the hard-faced surface was up to 6.43 wt.-%, the highest abrasive wear resistance and micro hardness were obtained. The decrease of primary carbide size is attributed to the increased nucleation induced by Mo addition. Network structure was observed when the Mo content reaches 10.19 wt.-%. The main mechanisms of wear are micro-cutting and carbide pulling out.

Kurzfassung

Die Wirkung eines durch Schutzgasschweißen mit (20–23)Cr-(7–8)Nb gepanzerten S355JR Stahls gegen abrasiven Verschleiß wurde in der diesem Beitrag zugrunde liegenden Studie untersucht. Es wurden vier Typen von Fließmitteln, die einen festen Cr- und Nb- aber variablen Mo-Gehalt aufwiesen, für die Panzerungselektroden untersucht. Es wurden das Gefüge, die Mikrohärte und der Widerstand der gepanzerten Oberfläche nach dem Standard ASTM G65 D untersucht. Das Originalgefüge besteht aus den primären, groben und den entektischen Carbiden. Molybdän beeinflusst die Morphologie der Carbide, indem die Größe der Primärcarbide verringert wird. Wenn der Molybdänanteil in der gepanzerten Oberfläche bis zu 6,43 wt.-% beträgt, erhält man den höchsten Verschleißwiderstand und die höchste Mikrohärte. Die Abnahme der Primärcarbidgröße ist begleitet von einer erhöhten Keimbildung, die durch Mo-Zusatz ausgelöst wird. Es wurde eine Netzstruktur beobachtet, wenn der Molybdänanteil 10,19 wt.-% erreicht. Die Hauptverschleißmechanismen bestehen in der Mikrozerspanung und dem Herausziehen der Carbide.
