Analysis of Tribological Properties of Hardfaced High-Chromium Layers Subjected to Wear in Abrasive Soil Mass.

This article presents the results of abrasion wear resistance tests of wear-resistant steel and surfacing under laboratory conditions and natural operation. Abrasion wear resistance determined on the basis of the study by determining geometrical characteristics of the alloying additives using computer image analysis methods, as well as examining the changes occurring on the surface of the workpieces and their wear intensity. Based on the results obtained from laboratory tests, it was noted that AR steel exhibited 14 times greater wear than the padding weld.

Assessment of Changes in Abrasive Wear Resistance of a Welded Joint of Low-Alloy Martensitic Steel Using Microabrasion Test.

Martensitic low-alloy steels are widely used in machine construction. Due to their declared weldability, arc welding is most often used to join elements made of this type of steel. However, the high temperature associated with welding causes unfavourable changes in the microstructure, resulting in reduced abrasion resistance.

Use of the Ball-Cratering Method to Assess the Wear Resistance of a Welded Joint of XAR400 Steel.

Wear-resistant steels are designed to allow for operation under extreme loading conditions. They combine large strength with resilience and resistance to abrasive wear. In stock, the steel is subjected to preliminary heat treatment.

Analysis of Wear Properties of Hardox Steels in Different Soil Conditions.

This paper presents the results of wear tests of three types of commercial abrasion-resistant steels. The samples, cut from commercially available sheets of metal, were subjected to wear tests to a total friction path of 20,000 m. The tests were provided using the "rotating bowl" method in three types of natural soil masses.

Analysis of Wear Properties of Powder Metallurgy Steel in Abrasive Soil Mass.

This study presents the results of testing for abrasive wear of Vanadis 60 SuperClean powder metallurgy steel as compared to Hardox 600 steel and PMFe60P padding weld. The testing was conducted by the "rotating bowl" method using natural abrasive soil masses. Two types of abrasive masses with particle size distributions corresponding to light soil and medium soil were used.
