The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of cavitation erosion test conditions on the surface resistance of medium carbon steel. The ultrasonic vibratory specimen system was used to perform the experiments under the laboratory conditions. The vibratory frequency and the displacement amplitude were 20 kHz and 20 μm, respectively. In design of experiments, four various cavitation behaviors have been studied based on four cavitation test conditions corresponding to those behaviors. These conditions can be summarized as follows: (1) the usage of water as a testing liquid; (2) replacement the water with 3.5% NaCl solution; (3) applying a certain voltage to cause a combined electrochemical action working simultaneously with the water; and (4) applying the same voltage by using the 3.5% NaCl solution instead of water. The obtained results showed that the mass loss differs by test modes applied.

In this paper the morphology of the cavitation damage to heat-treated medium carbon steel was analyzed. The experiments were conducted using a modified vibratory cavitation test set up. The erosion rates were measured by an analytical method. The morphology of the cavitation damage was studied by the scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy techniques. The present work was aimed at understanding the cavitation erosion behavior of heat-treated medium carbon steel under laboratory conditions. The results indicate that the heat-treated medium carbon steel is not to be recommended for the production of hydraulic machinery parts exposed to high hydrodynamic intensity.

Self-lubricating h-BN/Ni coating was prepared on a medium carbon steel substrate by CO2 laser cladding using a powder mixture of NiCrBSi+5%h-BN(wt.%). Microstructures and phase structure of the coating were analyzed using SEM, EDS and XRD. Wear tests were carried out using a M100 pin-on-ring wear tester. The results show that h-BN/Ni coating has much superior war resistance and noticeably lower fiction coefficient under dry sliding wear test conditions.

A resistance of cavitation erosion-corrosion of the AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel was evaluated in this study. The cavitation resistance of this stainless steel has been examined using an ultrasonic vibratory method by applying water-voltage combination effect. The curves of cumulative material loss and erosion rate were attained and discussed. In addition, surface topography and scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs have been utilized to characterize the eroded surface after the cavitation test. The results have been compared with previously obtained results for the AISI 1040 steel. The cavitation results showed that the AISI 420 steel has exhibited the better resistance to cavitation comparing with the AISI 1040 steel under the similar test conditions. The total cumulative material loss of the AISI 420 was approximately three times less than that of the AISI 1040. Surface topography and SEM micrographs showed that the severity of damage of the AISI 1040 was found to be a higher compared to that of the AISI 420 steel.

The resistance under the action of cavitation of sintered pyrophillite samples was investigated. The initial sample of pyrophillite from the Parsovic-BiH deposit was ground a vibrating mill to a granulation of 20 mm, pressed and sintered at temperatures (⁰C): 100; 1100; 1200. To assess cavitation resistance, the change in sample mass as a function of cavitation time was monitored. The cavitation erosion test was performed using the ultrasonic vibratory cavitation test method according to the ASTM G-32 standard. Cavitation velocites were calculated for all samples, as a basic indicator of the resistance of the material under the action of cavitation. The change in the morphology of the surface with the test time was followed by scanning electron microscopy. Based on the values of cavitation velocity and analysis of the surface damage morphology, the cavitation resistance of the tested samples based on pyrophillite was determined. The obtained results indicate that the samples of sintered pyrophillite have satisfactory resistance to the action of cavitation and be applied in conditions of lower cavitation loads.

Cavitation erosion test of Monel-400 and MonelK-500 alloys was carried out in 3.5% NaCl solution using an ultrasonic induced cavitation facility. The microstructure, composition and mechanism of cavitation erosion were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and induction balance, respectively. The results showed that Monel-400 alloy was single austenitic phase while MonelK-500 alloy contained Ni3Al intermetallics and its improvement in cavitation erosion resistance could be attributed to the higher hardness and density of the grain and twinning boundaries. In a series of 5h cavitation tests, the cumulative mass loss of Monel-400 alloy was 44.5 mg, which was 1.66 times than that of MonelK-500(26.8mg). No apparent incubation period was observed and the damage mechanism was plastic deformation and rupture.

One of ways to improve properties of materials without changing the product shape toobtain the desired engineering applications is heating and cooling under effect of controlledsequence of heat treatment. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect ofheating and cooling on the surface roughness, microstructure and some selected propertiessuch as the hardness and impact strength of Medium Carbon Steel which treated at differenttypes of heat treatment processes. Heat treatment achieved in this work was respectively,heating, quenching and tempering. The specimens were heated to 850°C and left for 45minutes inside the furnace as a holding time at that temperature, then quenching process wasperformed in four types of quenching media (still air, cold water (2°C), oil and polymersolution), respectively. Thereafter, the samples were tempered at 200°C, 400°C, and 600°Cwith one hour as a soaking time for each temperature, then were all cooled by still air. Whenthe heat treatment process was completed, the surface roughness, hardness, impact strengthand microstructure tests were performed. The results showed a change and clearimprovement of surface roughness, mechanical properties and microstructure afterquenching was achieved, as well as the change that took place due to the increasingtoughness and ductility by reducing of brittleness of samples.
