Prospects of application of low-alloyed bainite class metal for sublayer formation during multilayer cladding of metallurgical equipment parts
摘要
The article presents the results of studying the influence of thermal impact on structure formation during multilayer cladding of low-alloyed bainite-class metal. The structure of such metal, formed under the influence of partial recrystallization and tempering effects, is characterized by a change in the morphology of bainitic ferrite with a predominance of high-angle grain boundaries (θ > 15 deg.) in the clad metal. It was found that in order to form a smooth hardness gradient while transitioning from the clad to the base metal (carbon steel), it is necessary to perform cladding under conditions that provide a rate of energy input of at least 18 kJ/cm. The conducted thermal cycling of the composition “base metal—sublayer—wear-resistant layer” has shown the potential for using the developed low-carbon low-alloyed metal as a sublayer for wear-resistant cladding of metallurgical process tools.
