| Summary: | Hardfacing process commonly employed because of its low cost and high efficiency. The microstructure of an two sample of deposited metal by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM). In this research, the mechanical and tribological properties of two deposited metal of Fe–C–Cr–B–Ti alloying systems, high chromium 140Cr13Si1MnBTi alloy, and low chromium and high copper 110Cr4Cu7TiVBAl alloy hradfecing by flux-cored arc welding process (FCAW) was studied. It provided a low content of chromium (4 wt.%) and a high content of copper (7 wt.% Cu). Results of the studies had showed that the introduction of exothermic addition (CuO‒Al) to the core filler of the flux‒cored wire electrode, change melting characteristic and provides the highest resistance of the deposited metal to abrasion wear due to additional alloying by copper and reduction in grain size.
