Hardfacing General Review Hardfacing process is the most economical way to allow a work to achieve maximum application and usage longevity. As it name suggests, hardfacing is to build up upon the softer base metals’ surface one or multi-layers of hardfacing alloys according to specifi c needs. There are commonly three types of welding process to restore abrasive of wear out work : 1. Build-up If the project base metal suffers great abrasion, use the proper fi ller metal to restore the base metal back to its original dimension on the working piece prior to hardfacing Resistant Use Hardfacing and Wear welding. 2. Buttering When the fi ller metal for hardfacing layer and the base metal’s mechanical properties along with physical property have great variation, it is difficult to weld the two together; hence, it is essential to select the proper fi ller metal for the project base metal to serve as a buffer in reducing the incompatibility. 3. Hardfacing Hardfacing and Wear Hardfacing also known as surface hardening welding is achieved by welding the wear resistant layer onto base metal or surface layer for the purpose of extending the longevity Resistant Use of mechanical equipment. It is normally limited to two to three welding layers. How to select the proper hardfacing fi ller metal : Hardfacing General Review Welding fi ller metal is selected according to the following criteria : 1.Base metal will affect the selection of fi ller metal for base (root ) layer, for example: a. Mn Steel: for equipment suffered severe impact condition. Use high Mn content filler metal to restore the base metal to its original size. b. Carbon steel or low alloy steel: directly use low alloy hardfacing fi ller metal to restore its size. 2. Abrasion types as following : a. severe abrasion: Severe abrasion is often accompanied by high stress concentration and low impact level. The work could possibly involve rolling over rigid minerals or serving as surface blocking corrosive material. The usages typically are agricultural machinery equipment, metallic sieve, fi lter, pulpous material conveyor pump. b. severe impact: Severe striking or pounding could cause the metal surface to crack, crush, or cratering. The usages typically are repair welding on coned mining crusher, hammering crusher, impactor bars, rail frogs and crossings. c. metal to metal (friction or stick to) : Metal to metal spinning or sliding against each other. Usages such as roller, fl y wheel, razor, scissors, or bearing surface. D2 Welding consumables selection d. metal to sand (impact and abrasion) : The main cause of wearing is sand which has mild impact character. The wear comes from simultaneous movement of impact and wearing. Usages are excavator, agriculture Weld Metal Abrasion Alloy Type Microstruc- Properties Application or industrial equipment’s shovel teeth, cutter, etc. Type e. wearing at elevated temperature: ture This type of wear is accompanied by high temperature during working.

Resistant Use Hardfacing and Wear simultaneously; thus, the selection of hard facing fi ller metal must use abrasion type as the main consideration in determining selection priority.
