Abstract
Given are the results of experimental studies of the effect of small additions of silicon on physical-mechanical properties of low-alloy carbon deposited metal in electric arc cladding using self-shielding flux-cored wire. It is shown that increase in the silicon content to 2.3 % leads to decrease in the content of the martensite phase in deposited metal, thus increasing its microcrack resistance.
Keywords: arc cladding, flux-cored wire, deposited metal, crack resistance, silicon alloying, microstructure, microhardness
