WEAR RESISTANCE OF STRUCTURAL STEELS AS A RESULT OF BORONISING OPERATIONS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2018, Vol 278, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper presents the results of investigations on the effect of thermochemical treatment, boronising and chemical composition of selected structural steels on their wear in sliding friction process. The operation of boronising on C45, 37CrNiMo, 42CrMo6, 41Cr4, 50CrSi4-4 steels was performed by powder method at 950°C for 8 h. Following this operation, rod sections of the test steels were subjected to quench hardening from 850°C with isothermal holding at 300°C for 1h. The assessment of the construction, thickness and microhardness of boronised layers depending on the level of carbon and alloying elements in chemical composition of analysed steels was made. The testing for wear resistance of steels after boronising was carried out with the sliding friction method by applying a load of 150 N, counter-sample rotational speed of 1000 rpm and using aqueous solution of potassium chromate as a cooling medium. The metallographic observations of the structure and thickness measurement of the boronised layers were carried out using a light microscope, while the identification of phases was made by the X-ray qualitative analysis method. The hardness and microhardness measurements were taken by the Vickers method.<br/><br/>
