Original scientific paper This paper describes the study of a weld deposit which contains tungsten carbide particles. For testing the process of gas metal arc welding in a protective atmosphere of a mixed gas with two types of cored wires were used. The selected cored electrode of a "F-Durit G" type already contains the tungsten carbide particles. The second used option was a cored electrode of a "Megafil A 864M" type with an increased boron content. For the second variant tungsten carbide particles with a 1-2 mm size were added to the weld pool, and a composite material layer was thus created. For the mentioned test two different levels of welding parameters were selected and the final weld deposit properties, particularly their abrasion resistance, were examined.

U ispitivanju je primijenjen postupak elektrolučnog zavarivanja u zaštićenoj atmosferi miješanog plina s dva tipa žice s jezgrom. Izabrana elektroda s jezgrom tipa "F-Durit G" već sadrži čestice karbida volframa. Druga primijenjena opcija bila je elektroda s jezgrom tipa "Megafil A 864M" s povećanim sadržajem borona. U drugoj su varijanti čestice karbida volframa veličine 1-2 mm dodane u zavar i tako je stvoren sloj od kompozitnog materijala. Za spomenuti pokus izabrana su dva različita nivoa parametara zavarivanja, a mi smo ispitivali svojstva završne naslage zavara, a naročito otpor na abraziju.
