Abstract

The present work analyzes the effect of V, W, and different Cr contents on the microstructure and wear behavior of a high chromium white cast iron. The alloys were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Results show that the simultaneous addition of V and W promoted the formation of the W6C and VC carbides. This modification allowed obtaining a predominantly martensitic matrix in the as-cast alloyed irons. Wear test showed a decrease in the volume losses for the V and W alloyed irons in the as-cast condition attributed to VC and W6C carbides in the microstructure and the transformation to martensite, increasing the hardness. After destabilization, carbide precipitation and matrix transformation produced a secondary hardening in 11wt%Cr alloys. However, after destabilization, V and W alloyed irons with 17wt%Cr showed a decrease in hardness due to excessive C reduction in the austenitic matrix transformed to low-carbon martensite.
