Abrasive Sensitivity of Martensitic and a Multi-Phase Steels under Different Abrasive Conditions

Abstract

The wear behaviour of two martensitic and one multiphase steel targeted for abrasion and erosion applications in agriculture and mining industry were investigated in three abrasive test systems with different complexity. Scratch tests were performed with different indenter radii, shapes, and loads. The material behaviour was also investigated in multi-asperity contact systems. Pin-on-disc tests were performed with various loads and abrasive particles, as well as abrasive slurry-pot tests with different sliding velocities, distances, and impact angles of the abrasive media were performed. Comparing the test systems, the tested materials ranked similarly based on their wear performance, however, in each configuration, the dominant variable of the wear mechanism differed. The significance and contributions of test paramecenterters, the material’s mechanical properties (H, , , E, , , W, , ) and the dimensionless numbers formed from them were investigated on the wear behaviour and the surface deformation. Correlation between parameters was established by multiple linear regression models. The sensitivity of the tested materials to abrasion was evaluated taking into account the wide range of influencing parameters.

Field and Laboratory Wear Tests of Machine Components Used for Renovation of Dirt Roads—A Case Study

“…These components experience different forms of degradation, each of which affects their performance and durability. Typical types of wear on machinery components include abrasion [ 2 ], corrosion or tribocorrosion [ 3 ], fatigue [ 4 ] and erosion [ 5 ]. Abrasion occurs when surfaces come into contact and rub against each other, causing material loss due to friction.…”

Studies of Simultaneous Friction and Corrosive Processes in the Presence of Abrasive Particles

“…Research on the wear process on machine components has been carried out for many years [ 10 , 11 ]. Researchers primarily seek to reduce the effects of wear, which can be caused by friction [ 12 ], corrosion [ 13 , 14 ], or the impact of additional abrasive particles [ 15 ]. In practice, it is rare that there is only one determinant of wear.…”

Abrasive Wear of High-Carbon Low-Alloyed Austenite Steel: Microhardness, Microstructure and X-ray Characteristics of Worn Surface

“…There is one major issue concerning AW tests or wear modes in different wear applications: the loss of material is very sensitive for wear conditions [ 8 ]. Even minor changes in the latter lead to a significant alteration in the material loss as a result of wear.…”
