Design/methodology/approach - Wear behaviour of the various filler wires were tested (tensile, hardness, and wear) and compared with each other in the light of microstructure, chemical, and mechanical properties. Findings - The results showed that the wear rates were significantly increased with the increasing load, welding current, wear distance and poor mechanical properties. A larger amount of C, Cr, and Mn specimen showed the best wear resistance since it contained a number of hard MC-type carbides and coarse grains. Furthermore, for all materials the weight loss increases linearly with the increasing of welding arc current, load and wear distance. Research limitations/implications - It would be interesting to search about the toughness values and fatigue behaviour of these materials. It could be the good idea for future work could be concentrated fracture surface analysis of these materials. Practical implications - For these materials choosing the right chemical composition of the filler material, certain arc current and ideal microstructure is crutial for the wear response. Originality/value - The main value of this paper is to contribute and fulfil the mechanical properties of welding wires that is being studied so far in the literature such as the effects of chemical composition, applied road range, and arc current on the tensile, hardness and wear behaviours of the welding wires.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessWearHardnessMechanical Properties of MaterialsGas-shielded WeldingArticle10.1108/003687906106913835863033112-s2.0-33749419157Q3WOS:000242194800004Q3
