Effect of pulsed electron-beam melting on the microstructure and tribology properties of WC-Hadfield steel hard alloy

Abstract

Effects of the action of low-energy high-current electron beam pulses of microsecond duration on microstructure and tribological properties of 'WC-30% Hadfield steel' hard alloy in the friction pair with tool steel have been studied. It was established that pulsed melting and following high-speed quenching of the surface layers result in reducing the grain size of both initial carbide and binding phases as well as in formation of metastable M₁₂C and M₂₃C₆ carbides. The microstructure changes lead to increase of the surface microhardness by a factor of 1.5, decrease of the friction coefficient by a factor of 2, and wear resistance enhancement as compared to the material in initial condition.
