Abstract
This paper presents the results of tribological testing performed on multi-phase layers produced by the
hard-facing method. Three materials based on Fe-C-Cr alloys and containing carbide-forming elements B,
V, Nb, Mn, Mo and W, used to hard-face abrasion-resistant layers, were selected for the study. The ballcratering
method performed the tests in two variants: with or without an abrasive slurry. The obtained results
demonstrated that all test materials showed similar wear intensity in the presence of abrasive slurry, while the
wear intensity varied for the test with no abrasive slurry.
