This article reviews the improvement of wear resistance of steel that can amount to found money, particularly in industrial uses such as stamping dies and machine tools. Quenching converts most of the austenitic microstructure to the martensitic phase, which is finer and denser. Martensite, the chief component of quenched steel, consists of hardened carbides that provide the higher hardness and wear resistance. Cryogenics has attracted the interest of others who want to improve wear resistance in wider applications. As a follow-on treatment to conventional heat treating, cryogenics should be seen as the very last step in the process. After wear tests, in which cryogenically treated parts were run against an abrasion wheel, it was found that weight loss on several steel grades improved by factors of two to five. It was also found that the overall hardness of the treated steel did not change noticeably.

Abstract TATMO-V is a high-speed tool steel with superior abrasion resistance because of its high contents of carbon and vanadium. It is an excellent choice for premium grade tools which require an outstanding balance of red hardness, edge toughness, and wear resistance. Increased tool life of Tatmo-V is noted in the machining of semi-hard, heat-treated steel pats (300-350 Brinell). This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining.

The endurance of components made of aluminum and aluminum alloys is often limited by their low yield strength and by their low wear resistance. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of different methods that can improve wear resistance of aluminum alloys. As a first approach, a highly wear resistant chromium nitrite layer was deposited by plasma vapor deposition on the surface of the aluminum alloy AA 6101-T4. In the second method, an ultra-deep cryogenic treatment was selected. Both methods have been previously used to improve the wear resistance of other harder substrate materials, like tool steel. To investigate the impact of the two methods on the wear resistance of such alloy, micro abrasive wear tests were carried out and an analysis based on the Archard’s law was considered. The results showed a decrease of the wear rate by 29% and 26% for the coated and for the cryogenically treated specimens, respectively, when compared to the as received material. The work also investigated the performance of three different methods (Allsopp, Double Intercept and Polynomial AT) usually considered to calculate the wear rate of coated samples. The three methods presented similar measures of wear rate for the substrate and for the coating

Abstract: Surface of a material can be improved by depositing the filler metal for the enhancement of various properties. Surface should be harder than substrate material for surface improvement. This surface improvement is also known as surfacing. In present research Mild steel specimens of size 140×35×40 were used to deposit surfacing layers and study the feasibility of iron/aluminum with varying compositions on low carbon steel deposited by GTAW process. Specimens for hardness and oxidation resistance were prepared. While studying oxidation of surfaced and un-coated area (base material), oxidation test resulted that the oxidation occurred on surface of base metal (un-coated area) after heating at different temperatures and time intervals. Specimens kept at 500˚C, 700˚C temperatures for 3, 6, 9 hours to get oxidized from un-coated surface but no mark of oxidation and pitting was visible at surfaced area but pitting of un-coated area occurred at 700˚C temperature. Oxidation had no effect to surfaced area. Low temperature oxidation test specimens gave only weight loss from un-coated portion but high temperature oxidation gave high amount of weight reduction due to pitting occurred on un-coated portion. The amount of weight loss of specimens increased with increase in furnace holding time at constant temperature. With increase in temperature oxidation of un-coated area of specimens also increased and pitting action occurred on un-coated area of specimens at high temperature. Further, for the various wear tests the cylindrical pins of 8 mm diameter with spherical tip 4 mm radius was made. Wear tests were carried out on pin on disc sliding wear testing machine. The comparison of wear rate loss was studied with constant sliding distance, varying load and sliding velocity of different compositions of iron/aluminum surfacing and substrate material. Hardness and wear resistance of composition were increased with increase in percentage of Fe element in composition. Composition C1 (Fe:Al/70:30) had high hardness and high wear resistance as compared to composition C2 (Fe:Al/30:70) and C3 (Fe:Al/50:50). Composition C3 (Fe:Al/50:50) had better hardness and wear resistance as compared composition C2 (Fe:Al/70:30). Keywords: Surface improvement, Fe-Al intermetallic, GTAW process, Sliding wear.

The influences of RE and P complex modifications on microstructures and wear-resistance of hypereutectic Al-24Si alloy were studied. The results show that the complex modifications of P and RE make the coarse block primary crystal silicon refined and their edges and angles are passivated, the large needle-like network eutectic silicon be modified to the fine lamella or particle ones. The optimum modification effect occurs with 0.10%P and 0.9%RE. The complex modification of P and RE can also obviously improve wear resistance of hypereutectic Al-24Si alloy. When the tested alloys modified with 0.10%P and 0.9%RE, the optimal wear resistance of modified alloys is obtained. The weight loss is decreased to 3.9mg from 5.4mg of the unmodified alloy, decreased by 27.8%. The abrasive wear caused by the breaking of Si phase is dominant wear mechanism of the alloy. It can be attributed to the refinement of primary silicon and eutectic silicon particles and the increase of strength and ductibility of alloys caused by the complex modification of P and RE.
