Abstract

Abstract In this paper, based on a quantitative analysis of the parameters of plasma hardfacing of C45 steel with CastoMag 45554S wire, an optimisation of the hardfacing process parameters has been carried out. Experimental researches were carried out on the basis of an orthogonal plan, and the optimum hardfacing parameters, e.g.: intensity, voltage, wire feeding speed, were determined by the multiple regression method and the Taguchi method. It was found that the main current of the plasma arc had the greatest influence on the value of the fusion index. The highest S/N value was obtained for the following parameters: I = 120 A, U = 31 V, vn = 0.75 m/min, vd = 3.9 m/min, z = 12 mm.
