PROPERTIES
SHS9700P is an iron-based alloy for PTAW hardfacing and wear protection applications that has been designed to be free of high-cost strategic elements such as nickel, tungsten and molybdenum. SHS9700P is an alternative to nickel based PAW alloys with up to 40% tungsten carbide for use in moderate to high wear applications. SHS9700P allows high undercooling to be achieved during welding, resulting in considerable refinement of the microstructure down to a near nanosize (submicron) range. Unlike conventional weld overlay materials which are macrocomposites that contain hard particles and general carbides in a binder, the refined microstructure of SHS9700P does not incorporate distinct hard particles in a binder and is a uniformly hard matrix when welded. This allows SHS9700P to provide vastly improved hardness/wear resistance and last significantly longer than conventional macrocomposites.
HIGH HARDNESS
SHS9700P exhibits 68 HRc hardness within microns of the weld overlay interface. HRc hardness data points were measured from a single pass SHS9700P weld overlay applied to A36 steel plate.
EXTREME ABRASION/EROSION RESISTANCE
SHS9700P can be built up in as many weld passes as necessary with the second and all subsequent layers providing maximum wear resistance of typical mass loss of 0.13g in ASTM G65-04 Abrasion Wear Tests.
DAMAGE TOLERANCE
The superior toughness of SHS9700P occurs from the in situ formation of high volume fraction of refined complex borocarbide phases during welding which are surrounded by ductile phases. The borocarbide phases, which form during solidification, are completely wetted by the matrix and prevent premature pull-out, delamination and crack nucleation. The refined nature of the borocarbide phases allows the reduction of stress concentration sites and the ductile matrix supplies effective crack blunting and bridging.
