TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of high wear-resistant flux-cored wire, belong to flux-cored wire field. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the heavy industry field such as mining machinery, cement equipment, agricultural machinery, its key components (such as crushing roller, tooth, conveying pipeline) are subjected to high-strength abrasive wear for a long time, which leads to sharp reduction of equipment life and sharp increase of maintenance cost. Flux-cored wire has become the core material in the field of wear-resistant surfacing due to the flexible design of its core composition. By adding hard phase forming elements such as high-carbon chromium iron and tungsten carbide (WC) in the core, the hardness and wear resistance of the deposited metal can be significantly improved. As an economical and effective surface strengthening method, the core of surfacing technology is to significantly improve the wear resistance of the substrate by depositing a wear-resistant alloy layer. The size of the carbide generated in situ by alloy elements (Cr, V, Mo, etc.) is usually >5 μm and the distribution is uneven, which makes it difficult to break through the abrasive wear resistance and the limit of hard phase strengthening is low. Increasing the carbon content (>4%) can increase the proportion of hard phase, but it will cause the increase of weld brittleness and the sharp rise of cold crack sensitivity, resulting in the contradiction between toughness and hardness. Traditional carbide significantly softens above 600℃, which cannot meet the wear-resistant requirements of high-temperature working conditions (such as cement kiln preheater), and the high-temperature performance is insufficient.
[0003] The design of flux-cored wire formula is the main way to improve wear resistance, but industrial practice shows that the dilution effect of the sheath on the composition of the deposited metal has become an important factor restricting the wear resistance. After the traditional low-carbon steel sheath (C≤0.1%) is melted, it is mixed into the molten pool, which greatly reduces the measured concentration of key elements such as high-carbon and high-chromium in the core. Due to the dilution of the sheath, the actual composition is often below the threshold, which reduces the hard phase; the difference in flowability of the sheath molten metal easily causes the settlement or segregation of hard particles such as tungsten carbide in the molten pool, which reduces the uniformity of the abrasive phase distribution; poor sealing or composition fluctuation of the sheath can cause the oxidation of the flux powder, which causes the loss of alloy elements, further exacerbating the composition deviation. SUMMARY
