Abstract
The objective of this research was to develop the welding procedure for multilayer hardfacing of 13% Mn cast steel and study behavior of hardfacing deposits after impact applied. Austenitic stainless steel and martensitic hardfacing electrode were selected as buffer and hardfacing, respectively. Two different atmospheric conditions were compared which the first was controlling cooling rate on specimen by water during welding and another was un-controlling (by air), using shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process. Macrostructure and microstructure were investigated by optical microscope. The hardfacing deposits were also determined by the dry sand rubber wheel machine according to procedure A of the ASTM G65 standard. The results indicated that the hardfacing layers revealed martensitic type microstructure in both controlled and uncontrolled cooling rate but their grain shapes were a little difference. For buffer layer showed austenitic type microstructure. And base metal layer presented amount of carbide in controlled cooling rate is less than in another one. The best wear resistance was obtained from controlled cooling rate condition.
