Abstract
The results of investigations of the structure and properties of the deposited metal of the maraging steel of the Fe–Ni–Mo–Cr–V–Si–Ti–Al alloying system, hardened with boron compounds, are presented. The role of borides in the formation of the phase composition and the structural state of the steel in tempering is analysed. It is shown that this metal has high thermal and wear resistance. Consequently, it is recommended for hardfacing working surfaces of stamping tools.
