Hanya ɗaya da aka saba amfani da ita ita ce amfani da ƙarfe mai ƙarfe wanda zai iya samar da martensite, wani tsari mai tauri wanda ke faruwa sakamakon sanyaya da sauri. Ta hanyar ƙara abubuwa kamar Cr, Mo, Mn, da Ni, murfin zai iya samun kyakkyawan haɗin tauri da tauri. Rufin Martensitic ya dace da yanayin da ke buƙatar juriyar lalacewa da juriyar girgiza matsakaici.
Mabuɗin aikin ƙarfe shine sarrafawa:
- abun ciki na carbon (don tauri),
- saurin sanyaya (don samuwar martensite),
- rage kumburi (don rage kumburi).
2. Rufin da aka yi da Carbide (Cr-carbide, WC)
Ga manyan lalacewar gogewa, rufin da ke da tauri yakan dogara ne akan ƙwayoyin carbide masu tauri kamar:
– Chromium carbide (Cr₇C₃, Cr₂₃C₆): wanda aka saba da shi a cikin hardfacing bisa Fe-Cr-C.
– Tungsten carbide (WC): mai tauri sosai, ya dace da yanayi mai tsanani.
Daga mahangar ƙarfe, aikin murfin carbide yana da tasiri ta hanyar:
- girman da rarrabawar carbide (mafi kyau kuma har ma yawanci sun fi karko),
- ƙaramin girman carbide (mafi girma, mafi juriya ga abrasion, amma yana da saurin karyewa);
- matrix mai ɗaurewa (Fe, Ni, ko Co) wanda ke ƙayyade tauri.
3. Matakan Boride da Nitride
Rufin da aka yi da Boride (misali, FeB, Fe₂B) ko nitrides (misali, TiN, CrN) sun fi ƙarfin tauri a saman. Waɗannan rufin galibi ana samar da su ta hanyar yaɗuwa (boronizing/nitriding) ko kuma siraran shafi (PVD/CVD).
Yaɗuwar ƙarfe yana jaddada:
- zurfin Layer yana tasiri ta hanyar lokacin aiki da zafin jiki,
- samuwar matakai masu rauni waɗanda dole ne a sarrafa su,
- canjin taurin kai ta yadda ba zai fashe cikin sauƙi ba.
4. Kamshin Cobalt da Nickel

Bangarorin ƙarfe sun haɗa da:
- kwanciyar hankali na lokaci a zafin aiki,
- juriya ga iskar oxygen,
- dacewa da ma'aunin faɗaɗa zafi tare da substrate don kada murfin ya bace yayin zagayowar zafi.
Tsarin Kera Rufin Tauri da Tasirinsa ga Tsarin Microstructure
1. Facing mai ƙarfi (Waldi mai ƙarfi)
Hardfacing ita ce hanyar da aka fi amfani da ita, misali, ta amfani da SMAW, FCAW, GMAW, ko PTAW. Ana zaɓar ƙarfen cikawa don samar da wani Layer mai abun da ake so da kuma matakin da ake buƙata.
Matsalolin da ke tattare da aikin ƙarfe:
– narkar da abu: haɗa kayan substrate cikin Layer na iya rage abun da ke cikin abubuwan da ke samar da carbide, ta haka rage taurin.
- fashewar zafi da fashewar sanyi: saboda damuwa da ta rage da kuma tsarin da ya karye.
- yankin da zafi ke shafar (HAZ): canje-canje a cikin ƙananan tsarin abubuwa a cikin substrate wanda zai iya raunana bangaren.
Ana yin sarrafawa ta hanyar dumamawa kafin lokaci, zaɓar wutar walda da saurin walda, da kuma maganin zafi bayan walda idan ya cancanta.
2. Feshin Zafi (HVOF, Feshin Jini na Plasma)
Feshin zafi yana fesa barbashi a saman, yana samar da wani Layer ta hanyar taruwa. HVOF sau da yawa yana samar da Layer WC-Co ko WC-CoCr tare da ƙarancin porosity da haɗin injina mai ƙarfi.
Mayar da hankali kan aikin ƙarfe a nan:
- porosity da oxidation yayin fesawa,
– lalacewar lokaci (misali, WC na iya rugujewa zuwa W₂C ko kuma ya samar da yanayin da zai yi rauni idan aka dumama shi da yawa),
- ƙarfin mannewa ga substrate.
3. CVD da PVD (Sirara Mai Rufi)
CVD da PVD suna samar da siraran yadudduka kamar TiN, TiAlN, CrN, DLC tare da babban tauri da ƙarancin haɗin gwiwa, ana amfani da su sosai a cikin kayan aikin yankewa da ƙira.
Muhimman kayan aikin ƙarfe na surface:
- damuwa ta saura a cikin yadudduka masu laushi,
- mannewa yana shafar tsaftar saman da kuma tsakanin layukan,
- rawar da tsarin nanocrystalline ke takawa wajen ƙara tauri.
4. Tsarin Yaɗuwa: Nitriding da Boronicizing
Nitriding yana shigar da nitrogen cikin saman ƙarfe, yana samar da nitride mai tauri; boronizing yana shigar da boron, yana samar da borode mai tauri sosai. Dukansu suna ƙirƙirar gradient na halaye daga saman zuwa tsakiya.
Yaɗuwar ƙarfe yana tsara:
- yawan yaɗuwa (wanda zafin jiki da abun da ke cikin ƙarfe suka rinjayi),
- yuwuwar samuwar yadudduka masu rauni sosai,
- buƙatun kammalawa (niƙa/gogewa) don cimma wani takamaiman rashin ƙarfi.
Siffar Ƙarfe: Nasarar Auna Rufi
Nasarar rufin da ya yi tauri ba wai kawai ta hanyar "taurinsa" ba ce. Metallurgy tana amfani da dabarun siffantawa iri-iri:
- Gwajin tauri (Vickers/Rockwell/microhardness) don tantance yanayin tauri daga saman zuwa ƙasa.
- Na'urar hangen nesa ta gani da SEM don ganin carbides, microcracks, porosity, da ingancin haɗin.
- XRD don gano lokaci (carbide, nitride, boride).
- Gwaje-gwajen sakawa (filin-on-diski, robar dabara, gwajin slurry) don tantance juriyar sawa bisa ga aikace-aikacen.
– Gwajin mannewa (gwajin karce ko cirewa) musamman don siririn shafi.
Daga wannan bayanai, injiniyoyin ƙarfe za su iya danganta sigogin tsari da ƙananan tsari da kaddarorin da suka haifar, sannan su inganta ƙirar rufin.
Kalubale da Alkiblar Ci Gaba
Masana'antar na ci gaba da ƙoƙarin samar da rufin da ya fi ɗorewa, mai tsafta ga muhalli, kuma mai araha. Wasu daga cikin hanyoyin ci gaba sun haɗa da:
