On Quality of a Weld Bead Using Power Wire 35v9h3sf

Abstract

The effect of introducing carbon-fluorine containing additives and nickel to flux-cored wire 35V9H3SF on its structure, micro hardness of martensite, hardness and wear rate of a welded layer has been investigated. It has been proven that carbon-fluorine additions to a powder mixture increase the hardness of the deposited layer and its wearing strength. Nickel adding increases the hardness of both martensite and the deposited layer, and reduces abrasion wear. Introducing carbon-fluorine containing additives to the powder mixture can reduce the pore formation and lower the level of impurity with nonmetallic inclusions; and nickel adding can lead to austenite having a finer grain size.
