40Cr steel was grind-hardened on a surface grinder. The microstructure, wear resistance and wear mechanism of the grind-hardened layer were studied. The results indicate that the grind-hardened layer consists of the lath martensite and twin martensite, dislocation density is higher in the lath martensite. The microhardness is up to 670 HV0.5 and the compressive residual stresses exist in the grind-hardened layer. Compared with the matrix, the wear resistance of the grind-hardened layer is increased by 6-11 times. The wear mechanisms of the grind-hardened layer are characterized abrasive and oxidation under dry sliding conditions.

The Deep Cryogenic Treatment (DCT) has been used for improvement of steel mechanical properties, basically the abrasive wear resistance. At this work the cryogenic treatment at -190oC for 20 hours was applied, after conventional heat treatment, to improve its abrasive wear resistance. The specimens, divided in two groups, had been austenitized for forty five minutes at 965oC and 1065oC, respectively, then quenched in oil at room temperature. Afterwards they were tempered at 565oC for 90 minutes, and then cooled in air. Subsequently some samples were treated cryogenically, and some of them were submitted to a new cycle of tempering at 565oC for 90 minutes. The performed experiment included: hardness brinell, Xraydifratometry, metallography and micro-abrasive wear test. Variations in the microstructure with an improvement in the abrasive wear coefficient were found. These variations are probably a positive effect of the DCT on the samples microstructure. The microstructure were transformed from blocks of parallel lath martensite to small parallel or almost parallel packages of fine needles forming austenite. Traces of previous or retained austenite were found delimiting the grains. It is presumed that micro-carbide homogeneously distributed in the matrix and in the grain´s contours of the retained austenite was formed.

In this study, the dry sliding wear behaviors of SiC particle reinforced AZ91D matrix composites fabricated by stirring casting method were systematically investigated. The SiC particles in as-cast composites exhibited typical necklace-type distribution, which caused the weak interface bonding between SiC particles and matrix in particle-segregated zones. During dry sliding at higher applied loads, SiC particles were easy to debond from the matrix, which accelerated the wear rates of the composites. While at the lower load of 10 N, the presence of SiC particles improved the wear resistance. Moreover, the necklace-type distribution became more evident with the decrease of particle sizes and the increase of SiC volume fractions. Larger particles had better interface bonding with the matrix, which could delay the transition of wear mechanism from oxidation to delamination. Therefore, composites reinforced by larger SiC particles exhibited higher wear resistance. Similarly, owing to more weak interfaces in the composites with high content of SiC particles, more severe delamination occurred and the wear resistance of the composites was impaired.

A wear resistant TiC-Cr7C3/Fe surface composite was produced by cast technique and in-situ synthesis technique. The microstructure and dry-sliding wear behavior of the surface composite was investigated using scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and MM-200 wear test machine. The results show that the surface composite consists of TiC and Cr7C3as the reinforcing phase, α-Fe and γ-Fe as the matrix. The surface composite has excellent wear-resistance under dry-sliding wear test condition with heavy loads.

In this investigation, the effects of different heat treatment conditions on the mechanical properties of high carbon tool steel (SK2) were explored. Experimental results indicated that immediately doing deep cryogenic treatment can effectively reduce retained austenite after quenching. The moment of the holding time for the cryogenic treatment was extended can promote the fine carbides precipitated, and thus increased its hardness. The results of X-ray diffraction showed that the carbides in the matrix included Fe3C and Fe7C3.The wear test results demonstrated that the specimen with Q-T1hr-C24hr-T1hr treatment has the highest wear resistance than the others, which was caused by the effect of several tempering processes to improve toughness of the matrix and to precipitate considerable quantities of the fine carbides.

A new iron-based wear resistance alloy was developed to replace the Co-containing Stellite 6 alloys in nuclear power industry. The effect of B addition on the wear resistance was investigated. Sliding wear tests of Fe-Cr-C-Si-xB (x = 0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.0 and 2.0 wt%) alloys were performed in air at the room temperature under a contact stress of 103 MPa. Low-boron alloys containing less than 0.6 wt% boron showed an excellent wear resistance than any other tested alloys. The improvement was associated with the matrix hardening by promotion of the γ→α′straininduced martensitic transformation occurring during the wear test. However, the alloys containing more than 1.0 wt% boron showed slightly increased wear loss compared to the low-boron alloys because of the absence of the strain-induced martensitic transformation and the presence of the brittle FeB particles, aiding crack initiation.

Abstract: To improve the wear resistance of the hybrid powder coating, TiO2 nanoparticles was hot mixed to form a homogenous mixture with the powder in the range varying wt. dry sliding wear test conducted to determine the wear resistance. The experiments were design according to Taguchi L9 array to find the optimum nanoparticles content required to minimize the wear rate of the coating. ANOVA was used to determine the effect of the parameters on wear rate. It showed that reinforcement has the maximum contribution on the wear rate of the coating as compared to load and frequency. From the graph of means optimum parametric values was obtained at 2 % wt of reinforcement, 2 N load and 2 Hz frequency. The wear rate decrease with the increase in reinforcement.

In order to investigate the effect of WC grain size on coatings’ properties and abrasive wear performance, a few WC-20Cr3C2-7Ni coatings with three different WC grain sizes were deposited by the high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process. The phase compositions, microstructures, and mechanical properties of the coatings were investigated. Furthermore, the two- and three-body abrasive wear performances of the three coatings were tested by using SiC and SiO2 abrasives, respectively. The results show that all the three coatings were composed of WC, Cr3C2, and the Ni binder as well as the (W,Cr)2C phase. The abrasive wear resistance of the WC-20Cr3C2-7Ni coating monotonously increased with increasing WC grain size when the SiC abrasive was used in the two- and three-body abrasive wear tests. However, the wear resistance trend was reversed when the SiO2 abrasive was used in the three-body abrasive wear test. The specific wear rate of the WC-20Cr3C2-7Ni coating exposed to the SiC abrasive under the two-body abrasive wear test was the largest. The wear resistance of the coatings was more significantly affected by the hardness of the abrasive particles than the size of carbides present within the coating. The high hardness of SiC can cut both the carbide and the binder phase of the WC-based cermet coatings, resulting in a high wear rate, whereas the low hardness of SiO2 cuts and/or scratches the binder initially, and then it dislodges the carbides from the matrix. The dislodged carbides which were subsequently pulled out from the matrix by the repeated impact of the SiO2 abrasives result in a milder wear rate.

AbstractThe composite coatings were fabricated by laser cladding Ni60A/B4C pre-placed powders on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloy for improving wear resistance and hardness of the substrate. In this research, the composite coatings were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer. The sliding wear tests were performed using MM200 wear test machine. The hardness of the coatings was tested by HV-1000 hardness tester. After laser cladding, it was found that there was a good metallurgical bond between the laser cladding coating and Ti-6Al-4V substrate. The composite coatings were mainly composed of the matrix of γ-Ni and a little Ni3Ti and the reinforcements of TiB2, TiC and CrB. The hardness of the sample of Ni60A-5B4C was approximately 2.5–3.5 times that of the Ti-6Al-4V substrate. The hardness of the sample of Ni60A-10B4C was 30% higher than that of sample 1. The wear resistance of samples 1 and 2 were 11 times and 10 times that of the substrate, respectively.
