The possibility of using filler materials rich in chrome allows for better wear resistance than base materials used so far. The paper presents the results of research on the use of 3 different grades of covered electrodes for the regeneration of worn track staves. The content of the carbon in the covered electrodes was from 0,5% to 7% and the chromium from 5% to 33%. The microscopic and hardness tests revealed large differences in the structure and properties of the welds. The differences in the hardness of the welds between the materials used were up to 150 HV units. The difference in wear resistance, in the ASTM G65 test, between the best and worst materials was almost 12 times big.}, type={Article}, title={The Analysis of Filler Material Effect on Properties of Excavator Crawler Track Shoe after Welding Regeneration}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/117784/PDF/AMM-2021-1-04-Gucwa.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2021.134755}, keywords={hardfacing, carbides, hardness, wear, covered electrode}, }
