Article Synopsis
  • This research paper examines how effective shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) are for hardfacing mild steel with chromium-boron alloys, which are valuable for their wear resistance and corrosion protection.
  • The study evaluates both welding techniques based on several factors, including hardness, wear resistance, and efficiency in applying the alloys.
  • Findings reveal that FCAW outperforms SMAW, showing an average 1.67% increase in hardness and a significant 28.12% reduction in mass loss, making it a better option for industries needing enhanced durability.
