Leakage of valves leads to an explosive hazard, as well as business losses. To improve the operational reliability of valves in the practice of using various methods of surface hardening, the main of which is surfacing, are used. For this purpose, a new composition of the cored wire was developed, that provides reception high-chromium steel weld metal alloying system Fe-C-CrMo-Nb. The proposed cored wire provides a comprehensive strengthening of the weld metal due to the formation in the martensitic structure not only chromium carbide, niobium and molybdenum but also intermetallic phases such as Laves that provide this metal high wear resistance under abrasive wear and perception static pressure with high contact load. The results of field trials have shown a significant increase in the service life of valves of pipelines.
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.
