The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of vanadium and tungsten on wear behavior of Fe-C-Cr based hardfacing alloys. The wear behavior of hardfacing layers was determined by dry sand/rubber wheel abrasion tests according to ASTM G-65. The results of the abrasion tests were interpreted by metallographic examinations, SEM and EDX analyses as well as hardness measurements. According to the results of the experimental studies, the effect of W and V addition was discussed.
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.
