| Sumario: | This work systematically evaluates the influence of hardfacing on the damping behavior of ASTM A516 Grade 70 steel using AWS EF15, EFeCr-A1, and EFeMn-A electrodes, revealing a clear correlation between microstructural evolution and vibration damping performance. Elemental migration during hardfacing, combined with varying heat input, leads to significant microstructural transformations in the heat-affected zone (HAZ), including martensite formation, recrystallization, and grain growth, particularly for EF15 and EFeCr-A1 electrodes. The normalized microstructure of the base steel disappears after single-layer deposition, while higher heat input associated with double-layer deposition promotes the formation of refined equiaxed grains. Single-layer deposits of EF15 and EFeCr-A1 exhibit fine dendritic structures, whereas double layers develop coarser austenitic morphologies. In contrast, EFeMn-A produces an austenitic matrix with equiaxed grains for both single and double layers. Double-layer deposits show increased hardness due to the formation of electrode-dependent intermetallic compounds. However, the results reveal that an austenitic matrix significantly enhances damping capacity, while the presence of hard intermetallic phases in double-layer deposits reduces damping performance. The results highlight a hardness–damping trade-off that enables optimized electrode and layer selection for vibration- and wear-critical components. |
