Microstructure formation in the Fe-based hardfacing alloy 5183 and its sliding wear behaviour in high temperature water

Hardfacing alloys are used to minimise the tribological degradation of components subjected to sliding contact in the primary cooling systems of pressurised water reactors (PWRs). The combined effects of loaded sliding contact and corrosion within this environment (∼ 200 - 300 oC) currently require...
