Some Studies on Chromium Carbide Hardfacing with Self Shielded Flux Cored Wire

Abstract

Detailed investigations have been carried out to study the effect of welding parameters on the charecteristics of hard metal deposited by self shielded flux-cored wire

The various characteristics of the deposited layer such as dilution, hardness, chemical composition etc. have been evaluted with respect to variation in the welding voltage current and speed.

It has been found that welding parameters have difinite influence on the above mentioned characteristics of the deposited layer of the hard metal as well as on the efficiency of the deposition.
