This study evaluated the wear performance of
carbon steel cladded with WC powders through gas
tungsten arc welding. The wear behaviors of
different cladding specimens were evaluated
using a rotating-type tribometer under
dry-sliding conditions. The cladding
microstructures were characterized through
optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), and X-ray energy dispersive
spectroscopy (EDS). The experimental results
confirmed that the hardness of the cladded
carbon steel was considerably higher than that
of the carbon steel without cladding. The wear
scar area of the specimen with WC cladding was
only one-tenth that of carbon steel without
cladding.
Key words:
Gas tungsten arc welding, cladded, WC.
