Abstract
The article presents the results of the tests on the resistance to metal-mineral abrasive wear performed on hardfacing layers deposited using self-shielded flux-cored wire Fe–Cr–C (Fe15), with different weld bead orientations towards the basic feed direction of the grinding table. The significance of the above-mentioned effect was determined using a completely randomized design. The scope of the tests also included roughness measurements, surface topography studies, microscopic metallographic examinations, and microhardness measurements of the hardfacing layer.
