Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the phases present in Fe-V-C alloys and their composition, in order to assess in a subseq uent investigation which phases and compositions are best suited for F e-V-C hardfacing materials. The alloys, which consist of vanadium carb ide particles in a Fe-based matrix, were prepared from ferro-vanadium, iron and carbon, using induction melting followed by arc melting. The alloys produced were analyzed chemically and the phases present were pre stoichiometric calculations. The results of the calculations were compared to results from Mossbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction and a fairly accurate characterization of almost all the alloys was ob tained.
