4. Conclusions
- There are several types of carbides precipitated in the microstructures of the studied alloys, for which the shape and type strongly depend on the chemical composition.
- The CVF increases as the amount of C addition increases. Therefore, the carbide’s space might be denser, making it difficult for the silica sand to abrade the matrix area leading to improved wear resistance properties.
- There is no significant difference in the hardness between the two alloys (5V and 5Nb) with the same amount of C due to relatively similar CVF values.
- The NbC carbide’s larger size, in comparison to VC, produced better wear resistance. Therefore, the 2C-5Nb alloy presents the best three-body abrasive wear resistance behavior among all the alloys studied.
