In an attempt to improve the wear properties of material encountering abrasion and/or erosion during operation, hardfacing layer of up to 2 mm thickness may be applied on the vulnerable parts. An attempt has been made to characterise a number of hardfacing alloys for their abrasive and erosive properties. The wear resistant properties are dependent upon both hardfacing alloy properties and operating conditions. The alloy of finer microstructure, higher hardness and high work hardening presented comparitively high wear resistance.
