The TiC particles are selected as reinforced phase and the Hadfield steel as matrix. The powder metallurgy liquid phase sintering technique is adopted to fabricate TiC particles reinforced Hadfield steel matrix composites. The effects of elements Mo and Ni on the performance of the composites were studied. The impact wear tester is adopted to investigate the wear-resistant property of the composites under the different impact loads. Adding Mo can improve the interfacial bonding between the Hadfield steel and TiC, and the best adding ratio between Mo and TiC is 1:3.68. Adding 2%(vol.%)Ni can significantly improve the density and hardness of the composites. The experiment results of impact wear tests show that under the condition of low and middling loads, the composites display the best wear-resistant properties, moreover, the more TiC content is, the better wear-resistance property is. Under 2.0J impact energy, the wear resistance of the composite containing 40%(vol.%) TiC is 1.3 times of Hadfield steel.

Aiming at improving the impact wear-resistant performance of metals, a new sort of surfacing electrode named TKCE50 was developed in this paper. This electrode is a Fe-Mn-Cr-Mo-V alloy system and belongs to iron-base wear-resistant materials. Tests like hardness, wear loss and impact-abrasion test were performed on the samples surfaced with the electrode. The results indicated that TKCE50 had not only good welding technological properties, but also super work-hardening effect and perfect impact wear-resistance. In addition, the work-hardening and wear-resistant mechanisms for this electrode were discussed based on corresponding experimental investigation and theoretical analysis.

The wettability between ceramic particles and metal play an important role in fabrication of ceramic particles reinforced metal matrix composites(PRMMCs). In present paper, Al2O3 particles were coated with nickel by chemical plating to modify the preparation and properties of Al2O3 particles reinforced steel matrix composites. Using the Al2O3 particles treated by chemical nickel-plating, Al2O3 particles reinforced steel matrix composites were fabricated by powder metallurgy process(PM). And the wear resistance of the composites was investigated. The results show that: the nickel coating can fully and tightly cover on the surface of Al2O3 particles, and the nickel coating thickness is uniform about 2~3 micron; The nickel coating can effectively improve the uniform distribution of Al2O3 particles in the composites. And the treated Al2O3 particles can be tightly bonded with steel matrix,which improve the wear resistance of composites. The wear resistance of composites reinforced treated and untreated Al2O3 particles each is 2.5 and 1.6 times of Hadfield steel.

The relevance of the search for solutions to increase the wear resistance of bucket teeth of excavating machine type front shovel is analyzed. The reasons for the wear of the teeth are considered. It is determined that when excavating machines work for rocks of VIII and IX categories, impact-abrasive wear of the inner side of the teeth and abrasive external wear occurs. It is proved that the cold-work hardening of Hadfield steel (the teeth material), which occurs during the excavating machine teeth work in the rocks of VIII and IX categories, reduces the impact-abrasive wear rate on the inner side of the teeth and does not affect the abrasive wear of the outer. The methods for thermomechanical treatment of the outer side of the excavating machine tooth is proposed. It can increase the wear resistance of Hadfield steel (110G13L) up to 1.7 times and lead to the self-sharpening effect of the tooth due to equalization of the wear rate of the outer and inner parts of the tooth. The efficiency factor of thermomechanical treatment to reduce the of abrasive wear rate of Hadfield steel is experimentally proved.

The microstructure and wear behavior of a 500 Brinell hardness (HB) grade wear-resistant steel tempered at different temperatures were investigated in this study. The tempering microstructures and wear surface morphologies were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The relationship between mechanical properties and wear resistance was analyzed. The microstructure of the steel mainly consisted of tempered martensite and ferrite. Tempered troosite was obtained when the tempering temperature was over 280 °C. The hardness decreased constantly with the increase of tempering temperature. The same hardness was obtained when tempered at 260 °C and 300 °C, due to the interaction of Fe3C carbides and dislocations. The impact toughness increased first and reached a peak value when tempered at 260 °C. As the tempering temperature was over 260 °C, carbide precipitation would occur along the grain boundaries, which led to temper embrittlement. The best wear resistance was obtained when tempered at 200 °C. At the initiation of the wear test, surface hardness was considered to be the dominant influencing factor on wear resistance. The effect of surface hardness improvement on wear resistance was far greater than the impact toughness. With the wear time extending, the crushed quartz sand particles and the cut-down burs would be new abrasive particles which would cause further wear. Otherwise, the increasing contact temperature would soften the matrix and the adhesive wear turned out to be the dominant wear mechanism, which would result in severe wear.

Hadfield steel matrix composite, reinforced by high-chromium (Cr) cast iron bars, was fabricated by inserting high-Cr alloy flux-cored welding wires into Hadfield steel molten at 1500 °C. The characteristics for water-quenched composite were investigated and compared with those of reference Hadfield steel. The results show that flux-cored welding wires could be melted by heat capacity of Hadfield steel molten and transformed into high-Cr cast iron bar reinforcements after solidification. The reinforcements of water-quenched composite consist of martensite, eutectic M7C3 carbides and residual austenite. With the increasing of impact energy, the impact wear rate of the composite firstly decreases, and then increases slightly, therefore, the composite is more available to the conditions of low and medium impact energy. The reason is it can combine fully advantages of the outstanding toughness of Hadfield steel, and high hardness of high-Cr cast iron.

This paper aims to compare the tribo-mechanical properties and structure–property relationships of a wear resistant cobalt-based alloy produced via two different manufacturing routes, namely sand casting and powder consolidation by hot isostatic pressing (HIPing). The alloy had a nominal wt % composition of Co–33Cr–17.5W–2.5C, which is similar to the composition of commercially available Stellite 20 alloy. The high tungsten and carbon contents provide resistance to severe abrasive and sliding wear. However, the coarse carbide structure of the cast alloy also gives rise to brittleness. Hence this research was conducted to comprehend if the carbide refinement and corresponding changes in the microstructure, caused by changing the processing route to HIPing, could provide additional merits in the tribo-mechanical performance of this alloy. The HIPed alloy possessed a much finer microstructure than the cast alloy. Both alloys had similar hardness, but the impact resistance of the HIPed alloy was an order of magnitude higher than the cast counterpart. Despite similar abrasive and sliding wear resistance of both alloys, their main wear mechanisms were different due to their different carbide morphologies. Brittle fracture of the carbides and ploughing of the matrix were the main wear mechanisms for the cast alloy, whereas ploughing and carbide pullout were the dominant wear mechanisms for the HIPed alloy. The HIPed alloy showed significant improvement in contact fatigue performance, indicating its superior impact and fatigue resistance without compromising the hardness and sliding∕abrasive wear resistance, which makes it suitable for relatively higher stress applications.

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

The working environment of agricultural cutting tools is poor, and the operational quality and efficiency are reduced after they become blunt. This study aimed to develop a high wear-resistant agriculture knife with a long life. A Ni–WC alloy, wear-resistant layer was prepared using laser cladding technology on one side of the cutting edge of a 65 Mn silage knife. A self-grinding edge was formed when the cladded knife was used, which improved the cutting quality and service life of the knife. The microstructure, phase, composition, and hardness distribution of the cladding layer were detected and analyzed. The impact toughness and wear resistance of the laser-cladded samples were analyzed, and the cladded knife was tested in the field. The results show that a cladded layer with a dense microstructure formed metallurgical bonds with the substrate. The microhardness was uniform across the cladded layer, and the average hardness of the micro Vickers was approximately 1000 HV(0.2), which was approximately three times the hardness of the substrate. The impact toughness and wear resistance of the coated knife were obviously higher than those of uncoated knives. The field tests showed that compared with a conventional 65 Mn knife, the self-grinding knife with laser cladding could maintain its sharp cutting shape after operation for 76 h, which greatly extended the service life of the knife. This study improved the service life of an agricultural cutting tool, which enhanced the cutting performance and efficiency at the same time.
