Experimental study on dry sliding wear characteristics of sintered/forged plain carbon steel (Fe-1%C) with the addition of Titanium

Sliding wear and three-body abrasive wear characteristics of plain carbon steel (0.19C-0.72Mn) were compared to understand mechanisms of both wear in the steel. Microstructure of the steel was varied by heat treatments, and effects of microstructure as well as hardness on both wear were investigated. Dry sliding wear tests were carried out at room temperature using a pin-on-disk wear tester against AISI 52100 bearing steel. Three-body abrasive wear tests were performed using a ball-cratering abrasive wear tester employing angular SiC abrasives. The sliding wear proceeded with subsurface deformation and consequent fracture, while micro ploughing and cutting were major mechanisms of the abrasive wear. Hardness alone failed to characterize the sliding wear of the steel. Subsurface strain-hardening and uniform-deformation were principal controlling factors for the sliding wear, while hardness was the factor to control the abrasive wear of the steel under the given test condition.

In this work, a multiphase microstructure consisting of nanobainte, martensite, undissolved spherical carbide, and retained blocky austenite has been prepared in an Al-alloyed high carbon steel. The effect of the amount of nanobainite on the dry sliding wear behavior of the steel is studied using a pin-on-disc tester with loads ranging from 25–75 N. The results show that, there is no significant differences in specific wear rate (SWR) for samples with various amounts of nanobainite when the normal load is 25 N. While, the SWR firstly decreases and then increases with increasing the amount of nanobainite, and the optimum wear resistance is obtained for samples with 60 vol.% nanobainite, when the applied load increases to 50 and 75 N. The improved wear resistance is attributed to the peak hardness increment resulted from the transformation of retained austenite to martensite, work hardening, along with amorphization and nanocrystallization of the worn surface. In addition, the highest toughness of the samples with 60 vol.% nanobainite is also proven to play a positive role in resisting sliding wear. EDS (energy dispersion spectrum) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) examinations reveal that the predominant failure mechanism is oxidative wear.
