Optimization of composition, structure and characteristics of metal in arc deposition V.Jakovleva, S.Shanchurovb a Uralmash, bUral State Technical University – UPI It is known that economically alloyed manganese steels with a structure of martensite, 20…25 % of retained austenite and with carbide strengthening are perspective for roller conveyers deposition. Deposited metal with hardness of 38…43 HRC is satisfactory treated by blade instrument [1]. That is why when developing the optimum composition of surfacing alloy there were limitations on the amount of retrained austenite, hardness and contents of molybdenum, nickel and niobium in deposited metal. The influence of alloying element change on deformability of deposited metal at high temperatures, on wear resistance, on hardness and on the amount of retained austenite was held by method of experiment multiple-factor planning. 29 compositions of deposited metal were studied. Surfacing alloy was got by electric arc deposition of cordless wire on plates from steel 20 of size 400x250x40 mm. Deposition was made with using of flux AN-20 under conditions: I=360-400 A, Uд=30-32 V, welding speed is 24 m/h, number of layers are 8. Regression equations allow evaluating the influence of alloying elements on investigated metal characteristics after deposition. Numerical experiments were held for the following compositions of surfacing alloys: carbon – 0,38%, chromium – 5,6%, manganese – 4,0%, molybdenum – 0,72%, nickel – 0,84%, niobium – 0,82%. In the process of experiments concentration of two elements were changing, and the contents of the rest was constant. The hardness of deposited metal increases with the raise of amount of carbon and manganese in it, and the given hardness interval moves to the range of higher concentrations of these elements and has a “C” – shape appearance (Fig. 1a). With a carbon contents of 0,42 % the hardness 43 HRS is corresponded to two concentrations of manganese – 4,1 and 5,1%. Apparently,
