In this paper, sliding friction and wear behaviors of gray cast iron A35 and white cast iron manufactured by quenching from the same cast iron in water were studied and compared by employing pin-on-disk wear tests. Microstructure of the worn surfaces before and after the wear tests were investigated by optical microscope observations. These images show that flakes separated from the surface in gray cast iron due to delamination process, while in white cast iron, the separation of materials from its surface is in the form of powder. In addition, the gray cast iron had higher graphite volume fraction with Type-A graphite flake morphology. The results show that white cast iron has less rate of wear than gray cast iron due to the higher hardness. However, gray cast iron because of presenting graphite flakes in its surface (lubricant property) has lower average coefficient of friction.

This study is concerned with the influence of four metallic reinforcements on aluminum-silicon (AlSi) composites, with respect to wear behavior. AlSi-Ti; AlSi-Ti6Al4V; AlSi-1.4301 stainless steel and AlSi-Ni particulate reinforced composites were produced by a hot-pressing route. Microstructural characterization showed a uniform distribution of the reinforcing particles in the AlSi matrix. Reciprocating pin-on-plate wear tests were performed for AlSi and AlSi-based composites against gray cast iron plates. In order to compare the effect of different metallic particulates on the AlSi-based composites/gray cast iron tribopair wear performance, besides the pin, the counterface was also analyzed. The particle/matrix interface is analyzed in order to understand its influence on the tribopair behavior and on the controlling wear mechanisms. It was shown that the better compromise between both sliding surfaces performance was attained by AlSi-Ni/gray cast iron tribopair.

Abstract White cast iron with about 12.7 wt.-% chromium was alloyed with Ni, W and Mo for heat treatment applications. Heat treatments were performed at a range of 850-1050 °C for 1 h in order to distribute M7C3 carbides homogeneously in an environment of high wear resistance. The contents of the C, Cr, Ni, Mo, Mn and Si elements selected for the alloys were similar, though a 6 wt.-% nickel concentration was chosen. Microstructural changes in the specimens were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy (OM). Macro-hardness, average carbide size and volume fraction were analyzed. Wear tests were carried out under different loads of 10, 20 and 30 N. It was seen that heat treatment changed the carbide size and homogeneous distribution of the carbides. Moreover, the addition of nickel to HCrWCI increased fracture toughness and reduced the wear rate.

A comparative analysis of methods for estimating the gray cast iron ultimate tensile strength σu by the hydraulic diameter of interdendritic space DHydIP and the volume fraction of primary austenite dendrites fdc is performed. Almost the same accuracy of cast iron castings σu estimation according to both these parameters DHydIP and fdc of the primary microstructure is shown.

In this study, usability of boron as an alloy element in gray cast iron and its effect to abrasive wear behaviour were investigated. Pin-on-drum wear tests at the room temperature carried out for seven low nickels alloyed gray cast irons with different boron addition. The mass losses, hardness values and microstructures for gray cast iron specimens with different boron alloyed were investigated for determining wear behaviour. The pin for the wear tests was manufactured from X210Cr12 cold work tool steel with material number of 1.2080. Abrasive pin-on-drum wear tests were carried out at a 165 N constant load and two different sliding speeds that are closely related to the appropriate operating conditions in rolling mills. The experimental studies have shown that wear rate decrease with increasing boron amount in chemical composition of the alloy and the wear rate at high sliding speed has decreased more rapidly than the rate at the low sliding speed with increasing boron amount.
