Notes:
To improve the wear resistance of high chromium white cast iron under severe abrasiveconditions, a composites layer was designed for wear surface, which were locally reinforced with WCparticles. And the local composites were successfully fabricated by optimized centrifugal castingprocess. Then the interface between WC and iron matrix was analyzed with scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Andthree body wear tests were carried out on a self-made rig to investigate the wear resistance of thecomposites. For comparison, the wear tests of high chromium white cast iron were also carried outunder the same conditions. The results show that: There are no defects such as inclusion, crack, gaspore and so on in the obtained composites layer, which with a uniform thickness of 10 mm. WCparticles are homogeneously distributed in the composites layer and tightly bonded with the ironmatrix. The WC particles are partially dissolved in the iron matrix during centrifugal casting. Theelements W, C and Fe react to form new carbides such as Fe3W3C or M23C6, which precipitate aroundformer WC particles during subsequent solidification. So the interface between WC particles and theiron matrix is a strong metallurgical bonding. WC particles in the composites layer can effectivelyresist cutting by the abrasive, and then protect the matrix. The wear resistance of the composites layeris 7.23 times of that of high chromium cast iron
