AbstractHigh speed steel with a martensitic microstructure is widely used in tool industry, but often the usage is limited by severe abrasive and corrosive wear. Metal ion implantation is a promising method to improve the tribological behaviour of this steel, as was shown in several publications. In this paper we discuss the application V and Cr implanted high speed steel, both of these elements are alloying constituents of the steel matrix. Combined with implantation of carbon is also carried out.The tribological tests were performed with a pin-on-disc machine under dry sliding conditions. The obtained tribological results are discussed in relation to the microstructures of the nonimplanted and implanted samples.

ABSTRACTIon implantation into steels with a martensitic microstracture is reviewed and discussed in terms of different implanted species and observed changes in the structure. Both single ion and dual ion implantation treatment are included. The disability of the nitrogen ion implantation to improve the tribological characteristics of steels with a martensitic microstructure can be overcome by dual implantation of titanium and carbon, for example. Results of tribological tests on samples in which titanium is replaced by chromium are more controversial, although changes in the sliding characteristics were observed. Dry sliding on the samples implanted up to 1018 ions/cm2 is totally different by nature and -based on the reported results- associated with the formation of carbon precipitates on the surface. The thermal stability of implanted nitrogen and carbon in MЗ high-speed steel was examined and nitrogen was shown to be less stable than carbon. Mechanical and tribological properties were further changed by heat treatment after ion implantation, which indicates that temperature is also a critical parameter during ion implantation.

Thin hard coatings are widely known as key elements in many industrial fields, from equipment for metal machining to dental implants and orthopedic prosthesis. When it comes to machining and cutting tools, thin hard coatings are crucial for decreasing the coefficient of friction (COF) and for protecting tools against oxidation. The aim of this work was to evaluate the tribological performance of two commercially available thin hard coatings deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) on a high speed tool steel (S600) under extreme working conditions. For this purpose, pin-on-disc wear tests were carried out either at room temperature (293 K) or at high temperature (873 K) against alumina (Al2O3) balls. Two thin hard nitrogen-rich coatings were considered: a multilayer AlTiCrN and a superlattice (nanolayered) CrN/NbN. The surface and microstructure characterization were performed by optical profilometry, field-emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

The aim of the work was to prepare an overview about the microstructures present in high-speed steel, focused on the crystallography of the carbides. High-speed steels are currently obtained by casting, powder metallurgy and more recently spray forming. High-speed steels have a high hardness resulting from a microstructure, which consists of a steel matrix (martensite and ferrite), in which embedded carbides of different crystal structure, chemical composition, morphology and size, exist. These carbides are commonly named MxC, where M represents one or more metallic atoms. These carbides can be identified by X-ray diffraction considering M as a unique metallic atom. In this work, it is discussed, in basis of the first principles of physics crystallography, the validation of this identification when it is considered that other atoms in the structure are substitutional. Further, it is discussed some requirements for data acquisition that allows the Rietveld refinement to be applied on carbide crystallography and phase amount determination.

The influence of DC steady magnetic field on dry-sliding friction and wear characteristics of friction pair of high-speed steel (HSS) ring / Ti6Al4V pin is studied by use of improved MPV-1500 type under normal temperature. It is shown that the wear loss of ferromagnetic materials can be decreased by applying a steady magnetic field. Under the load of 250N and the friction velocity of 0.6m/s, the wear loss of the sample HSS ring keeps decreasing along with the enhancement of magnetic field intensity, and in the scope of 64mT-160mT, the average friction coefficient becomes smaller and smaller. Magnetic field can accelerate debris refinement. The wear mechanism covers oxidative wear and adhesive wear mainly.
