Influencing Microstructure of Vanadium Carbide Reinforced FeCrVC Hardfacing during Gas Metal Arc Welding

Vanadium carbide (VC) reinforced FeCrVC hardfacings have become important to improve the lifetime of tools suffering abrasive and impact loads. This is because the microstructural properties of such hardfacings enable the primary VCs to act as obstacles against the penetrating abrasive. Because dilu...
