In this article, the plant for heat treatment of grain material, namely perfo-rated spiral operating part, developed by the authors was chosen as the object of improving the wear resistance. The research was conducted in the laboratory of the Technology of Metals and Machinery Repair Department of Kemerovo State Agricultural Institute. The aim of the research is to select the most appropriate method of hardening the functional surface of perforated spiral operating part with the use of low-cost anti-wear coatings. The basis for choosing the method of surfacing the coating was the use of a method of forming the technological repair units (TRU), which allowed electric spark treatment with unalloyed white cast iron.

Background: Ductile irons provide a more viable alternative for malleable cast iron in areas that do not demand extreme wear resistance. Austempering of ductile irons was a well researched area in the last two decades. Attempts to further improve the wear resistance led to the development of Carbidic austempered ductile iron (CADI), wherein the carbides contribute to wear resistance. Combination of ausferritic matrix, graphite nodules, and carbides (eutectic and alloy) symbolizes the microstructure of CADI. Methods: Two principal approaches adopted by the researchers to change the microstructure are (i) addition of carbide forming elements (ii) heat treatment (s). Results: Both the above methods result in the refinement of graphite nodules, carbide precipitations, along with fine ausferrite. Conclusion: Improvement in hardness, toughness and wear resistance was observed largely as a consequence of fine carbide precipitations and formation of martensite.

The method of infiltration casting plus heat treatment process employing chromium wires and cast iron applied to in-situ synthesized (Fe,Cr)7C3 particulates bundle reinforced iron matrix composites. The phase analysis, microstructure, microhardness and wear-resistance of composite were observed and measured. The results show that it is possible to fabricate (Fe,Cr)7C3 particulates bundle reinforced iron matrix composite produced by this technology, and a special structure which called particulates bundle was fabricated. (Fe,Cr)7C3 particulates bundle were distributed in the forms of granular, lath-shaped and hexagon-shaped in the particulates bundle. The macrohardness of particulates bundle was 52 HRC, and the relative wear resistance of the composites is 2.3—23 times higher than that of the cast iron.

This study investigates the influence of palm kernel shell ash (PKSA) on mechanical and wear properties of white cast iron (WCI) particularly its influence on its microstructure, elemental composition, hardness and wear resistance. The PKSA was characterized to determine its elemental composition, and it was found to contain high amount of silicon (Si) and iron (Fe) followed by calcium (Ca) and other trace elements. The cast iron was cast into rods of specific dimension with sand casting method using rotary furnace to re-melt cast iron scrap. The WCI rods were then cut into bits for the various test. Heat treatment operation was carried out to determine its properties. Upon completion of the examinations, it was found that the PKSA increased the cementite phase within the matrix of the cast iron, and reduced the pearlitic phase and graphite formation, which gave it increased hardness, and perfect wear resistance due to the increment in carbon content and reduction in silicon content. Also, upon heat treatment, it was found that the PKSA reduced the pearlitic phase within the matrix of the cast iron, increases the formation of transformed ledeburites, austenitic dendrites and tempered graphite, which lead to increased machinability and ductility as well as to reduced hardness, and wear resistance when compared to non-heat treated samples.

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.

Fe-C-Ta-Cr-Ni alloy powder in diameter of 32-53 μm made by argon atomization was low-pressure plasma sprayed to produce high Cr-Ni cast iron base deposits with finely dispersed tantalum carbide particles. The as-sprayed deposit formed on a water-cooled substrate consisted of γFe, αFe and carbide. The fine precipitates of approximately 0.1 μm in the as-sprayed deposit formed on a water-cooled substrate were carbide. With increasing heat treatment temperature up to 1273 K, the carbide particles coarsened. The hardness of deposit decreases with increasing heat treatment temperature. The wear resistance of as-sprayed deposit formed on a non-cooled substrate was higher than that of the deposit heat-treated at 1273 K. The as-sprayed deposit and deposit heat-treated at 1273 K hade higher wear resistance than a commercial stainless steel.

65Mn spring steel is mainly used for rotary blade which is a vulnerable part of farming machinery. The experiment of the wear-resistance property for 65Mn spring steel under different heat treatments is conducted. The results are discussed based on the regression orthogonal design. The wear-resistance property of 65Mn steel has been discussed by applying diverse heat treatment technology and the optimum parameters of heat treatment for the best anti-wear property are obtained through experiments. The influence of the parameters on anti-wear property is studied by applying the regression orthogonal design. The relation between the wear mass loss and diverse heat treatment parameters has been given by using planar and contour figure. The optimum heat treatment parameter for maximum anti-wear ability is obtained as following: 852.64 for quenching temperature, 18.36min for quenching time, and 145.44 for tempering temperature, respectively.
