Abstract

Wear plays a pre-dominant role in effecting tribological properties and service life factor of machinery components and tools. Every machine parts and tools have to undergo different stages of wear like Fatigue, Abrasive and Adhesion etc. To improve the surface and tribological properties hardfacing is used widely. Hardfacing is one of the oldest techniques used in surface engineering process to improve the surface properties of materials. Fe-Cr-C composed hardfacing alloys are used widely in severe abrasive conditions as these are superior in abrasive resistance. The aim of present study deals with characterization of wear tribological properties of Fe-Cr-C composition based hardfacing alloy on AISI 304 steel in form of mono and multilayers by SMAW process. The wear tests were carried out on Pin-On-Disc Tribometer and worn structures were examined under optical microscope. Phase and structural characterization were done by X-Ray diffraction.
