Abstract The paper presents the results of the wear tests of alloyed austempered ductile iron performed on a specially designed test rig simulating real operating conditions for chain wheels which were selected for testing due to their complex rolling and sliding form of contact between elements. The chain wheels subjected to tests were operated with the use of loose quartz abrasive and without it. The studies involved the determination of strength and plastic properties, hardness distributions, microstructure and linear wear of the ADI in question considered as a function of the austempering temperature. Based on the results obtained, the following was found: phase transition of austempered ductile iron can take place for combinations typical of industrial applications, a non-linear increase in the wear as a function of the austempering temperature occurs, an increase in the hardness of all the analysed types of ADI takes place during the operation without the presence of abrasive, the phase transition of austenite into martensite in ADI with a lower content of austenite requires higher loads as compared with cast iron containing 40% of austenite.

Abstract The study presents results of the second part of wear tests of austempered ductile irons on a specially designed test rig that allows simulating the real operating conditions of chain wheels. The chain wheels subjected to testing were operated in conditions characterized by combined action of loose quartz abrasive and an external dynamic force. The studies involved the determination of the hardness, microstructure and linear wear of the ADIs in question considered as a function of the austempering temperature and the austenite content. Based on the results obtained, the following was observed: a decrease in the wear as a function of the austempering temperature and thus in the content of austenite in ADIs; a slight deformation of graphite after completing the wear test involving external dynamic forces; a negative linear dependence between the linear wear and the impact resistance. It was found that the increased wear of cast irons with a lower content of austenite may be caused by the propagation of cracks initiated by damage to graphite nodules, while in the conditions characterized by combined action of abrasive wear and dynamic load the cast irons with a higher content of austenite and higher impact resistance have better wear properties.

The paper presents the results of wear tests of shot-peened and non-shot-peened cast steels with the use of an especially designed test rig simulating real operating conditions of chain wheels. The chain wheels subjected to tests were operated with the use of loose quartz abrasive. The studies involved the determination of strength and plastic properties, hardness distributions, microstructure and linear wear of the selected cast steels. Based on the results obtained, the following was found: the abrasive wear of cast steel chain wheels increased after shot peening.

With the common engineering-purpose ductile iron used as research subject, the research on rules of austempering parameters to influence the impact toughness and hardness of austempered ductile iron (ADI) was implemented in this paper by adopting the combination of theoretical, experimental and numerical simulation methods, and setting series of austempering parameters; After the impact tests and hardness tests simulated by the finite element software - ANSYS Workbench, the simulation data were analyzed by comparing with the experimental data. The experimental results showed that: austenitizing time was longer, ADI hardness was smaller while impact toughness remained unchanged; hardness was in linearly-decreasing trend with rise of austempering temperature, while impact toughness first increased and then decreased as the austempering temperature rose, with the maximum at the temperature 350°C; The effect of austempering time on the impact toughness was very few; extension of austempering time allows the hardness to increase slightly, but only a little.

Laboratory abrasive wear tests have been reported on permanent moulded toughened austempered ductile iron. The influence of austempering temperature on the abrasive wear behavior have been studied and discussed. The results indicate that with increase in austempering temperature from 300°C to 350°C, the abrasive wear resistance increased, and as the austempering temperature increased to 400°C, there was reduction in the abrasive wear resistance. These results have been interpreted based on the structural features and graphite morphology.

The paper presents the wear properties of hard-wearing steels and structural steels used in mining and transport machines exposed to the aggressive action of the environment, which have been determined experimentally in the presence of diverse abrasive materials. The wear tests were carried out on a ring-on-ring test rig simulating the operating conditions of elements exposed to abrasive wear. The samples were subjected to tests in conditions of sliding contact, and the main destructive process was micro-cutting of the surface with loose corundum or quartz grain. In the case of the coal abrasive, only slight grinding in of the mating surfaces was observed. The loss of mass in the samples was measured as the parameter characterizing the wear. It was then used to determine the volume loss. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the wear resistance of hard-wearing steels was approximately four times higher as compared to S355J2 structural steel for the corundum and quartz abrasives. In the case of the coal abrasive, there was a relatively low wear for all of the materials examined.

The microstructure and properties of austempered ductile iron with carbides was studied to increase the abrasive resistance of ADI. It was proven that the austempering temperature influences greatly the microstructure, impact toughness, hardness and abrasion resistance of CADI. With increase of austempering temperature, the acicular ferrite becomes thicker and bigger, the impact toughness rises, and the hardness decreases. But there is a complicated effect of austempering temperature on wet abrasion resistance. In addition, the CADI grinding balls were cast and the field testing was performed. The CADI ball is one third of abrasion loss of low chromium cast iron, zero rate of breakage and no loosing round.
