Effect of Tungsten Carbide Morphology, Quantity, and Microstructure on Wear of a Hardfacing Layer Manufactured by Plasma Transferred Arc Welding

Hardfacing layers on mild steel substrates were successfully manufactured using a plasma transferred arc welding (PTAW) process to combine tungsten carbide powder and binder metal. Three morphological types of tungsten carbide powder were employed: spherical, fused angular, and mixed powder. The eff...
