Various combinations of separate feeding of cast spherical tungsten carbides and matrix alloy into the surfacing zone have been
investigated. It has been established that when a self-fluxing nickel-based alloy is used as a matrix, the most stable surfacing
process is achieved if tungsten carbides are fed through the axial hole of the focusing nozzle, and the matrix alloy through two
channels located diametrically opposite to each other at its end. 6 Ref., 1 Tabl., 11 Fig.
