Abstract
The paper considers the effect of minor additions of boron on properties of hypoeutectic composition deposited metal of the white cast iron type provided by wide-layer hardfacing using flux-cored wire. It has been established that boron in an amount of 0.07-0.14 wt.% leads to a substantial improvement of crack resistance of metal of the deposited cast iron. It has been shown that growth of crack resistance is caused by modifying effect of boron on sizes and structural constituents of the deposited cast iron and strengthening of grain boundaries.
