Manufacturing of Wear Resistant Iron-Steel: A Theoretical and Experimental Research on Wear Behavior

Abstract

In this study, four different alloys of steel blocks with a thickness of 15mm were manufactured in order to develop an alternative to steel plates used in wear exposed areas of construction machines, trucks, and asphalt production plants. To further increase the wear resistance of the manufactured steel blocks, their thickness was reduced to 10mm by the hot-rolling method. Wear specimens were obtained from rolled blocks. These specimens were abraded at 20N, 40N, and 60N loads in reciprocating linear motion module ASTM G-33 standards to determine their wear resistance. SEM and EDX analyses were also conducted to see modifications on the worn surfaces. In addition, a theoretical model of wear behaviors was created, calculations were made with Archard wear equation and ANSYS software, and the theoretical and experimental results were compared

Friction Behavior of Anodic Oxide Layer Coating on 2017A T4 Aluminum Alloy under Severe Friction Solicitation: The Effect of Anodizing Parameters

“…or complex tools (carbon fiber draping mold for the manufacture of aircraft doors, etc.) increasing demands, such as safety, reliability, performance, weight reduction, sustainable process, cannot be met by traditional materials, especially when the system is submitted to high mechanical, thermal, and chemical solicitation [1][2][3][4]. Aluminum alloys can be a suitable alternative to the materials supporting different types of in-service load [5][6][7].…”

Enhanced Wear Behavior of a Stainless Steel Coating Deposited on a Medium-Carbon Low-Alloy Steel Using Ultrasonic Impact Treatment

“…As far as different kinds of bearings, sealing valves, etc., are concerned, common failure modes are also related to wear, which significantly decreases the serviceability limit and the effective utilization of these components [1][2][3]. Previous studies have suggested that most wear failures of valves and bearings, usually originating or initiating on their surface and gradually propagating to the interior, are sensitive to surface performance and microstructure [4,5]. Generally, excellent surface wear resistance can effectively improve the surface durability of substrate materials in a desirable way and be obtained by means of coating and deposition technologies, such as physical and chemical vapor deposition [6], electro-deposition [7], laser cladding [8], thermal spraying [9], surfacing [10], and so on.…”
