High stress abrasive wear behaviour of a hardfacing alloy: effects of someexperimental factors

The high stress abrasive wear behaviour of an iron-based, low-chromium hard facing alloy is dependent on the combined effect of the variables namely lo ad, abrasive size, and sliding distance. A detailed analysis has been carri ed out to assess the effect of the various experimental factors on the high stress abrasive wear behaviour of a low-Cr hardfacing alloy. A study of th is nature will help in choosing a hardfacing alloy depending upon its area/ nature of application. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
