Mathematical Modeling of the Effect of TiC Nanopowder Particles on the Wear Resistance Properties of Low-Alloy Steel

Abstract

In this article, the effect of TiC nanopowder particles on the wear resistance of low-alloy steel 35XGCL (analog is JIS G 5111) is mathematically modeled. First of all, the composition for liquefaction in an electric arc furnace was calculated. 5 and 10% TiC nanopowder particles were added to the alloy as a modifier before pouring liquid metal into the ladle. This process was performed before pouring the liquid metal from the furnace into the ladle. 15% of TiC was added in the furnace as a modifier. Lagrangian interpolation polynomial construction was used in this modeling. The amount of wear resistance was calculated by polynomial expression of the function with determination of unknown coefficients. The results obtained on the basis of the developed model were compared with case studies. The results of the analysis are shown by graphs.
