After different heat treatment processes,the metal compound,the microstructure and the hardness of the C-Cr-W-Mo-V-RE Fe-based hardfacing layers are investigated by means of metallographic microscope,X-ray diffraction(XRD), energy dispersive spectrum(EDS),transmission electron microscope(TEM) and hardness tester. The results show that the hardfacing layers have higher tempering stability and secondary hardening property. After quenching at 820℃,the hardness value(HRC37)and the microstructure of the layers are similar to that normalized at 820-1000℃. The tempering stability and the hardness increases with increasing quench temperature,which is attributed to the amount of the alloy element in the matrix. These results are very helpful for improving the mechanical properties of the hardfacing layers.
