a

R - atomic radius of i-th element, ;
i
d - number of d-electrons at the outermost electron shell of i-th element.
Analysis of this equation (1) shows that CFA grows according to the following sequence:
Fe, Mn, Cr, Mo, W, Nb, V, Ta, Ti, Zr, Hf. However, in real alloys, CFA of a specific
element depends on its concentration and some other factors. Therefore, for practical
purposes, CFA of an element can be expressed as:

process can be used to determine Cr and Ni equivalents.
At the same time, now we are able to calculate the amount of matrix-strengthening carbide
phases. The amount of carbide phase formed by i-th element is determined by the following

At the same time, we must take into account the consumption of alloying elements to boride
and nitride formation. If Ni content in alloys is over 5%, the phase formation shall also be
taken into account. However, these issues cannot be described in the framework of this
paper.
Adjustment of coefficients in Cr and Ni equivalent equations
By analyzing the structures of more than 50 types of deposit weld metal, the authors
determined coefficient variation empirical dependencies for the equations defining Cr (

and Ni (
