Abrasive wear of high alloyed overlay materials with high contents of carbide phases of M<sub>7</sub>C<sub>3</sub> depends on the sizes of the carbide particles and on their distribution in an overlay. This work is focused on the study of the carbide particles size effect on abrasive wear. The size of carbide particles of M<sub>7</sub>C<sub>3</sub> type, their distribution (part) in the matrix and their effect on abrasive wear were measured. Hardness in single layers, as well as microhardness of the matrix and of carbide particles, were also measured. The abrasive wear resistance was measured using the pin-on-disk machine with bonded abrasive particles. For the study of the chemical composition, the scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) was used.

Microstructure of WC reinforced Ni -based self-fluxing alloy composite coating sprayed and fused by oxy-acetylene flame was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray Spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The wear performance of the coating was studied by a MLS-225 wet sand rubber wheel abrasive wear tester at various loads and sizes of abrasive particles. Also, the wear resistance of the coating was compared with uncoated ASTM1020 steel. The results indicated that the coating is bonded metallurgically to the substrate and has a homogeneous microstructure composed of both coarse WC and fine carbide and boride grains such as Cr 7 C 3, Cr 23 C 6, and Ni 2 B which disperse uniformly in the matrix of γ- Ni solid solution and Ni 3 B . The worn mass loss of the coating and ASTM1020 steel both increased with the load and size of abrasive particles, also, the coating has exhibited excellent abrasive wear resistance compared with ASTM1020 steel.

In this contribution, the results of the wear resistance study of 10 sorts of wood (apple, aspen, beech, hornbeam, horse-chestnut, London plane, mahogany, silver fir, sour cherry and sweet cherry) are published. The laboratory tests were carried out using the pin-on-disk machine when the abrasive clothes of three different grits (240, 120 and 60) were used. The wear intensity was assessed by the volume, weight and length losses of the tested samples. From the results of the carried out tests it follows that the wear resistance of different woods is different. It was proved that the wear resistance of different woods depends on the abrasive particles size, too. Also the technical-economical evaluation was part of the carried out tests. It was univocally proved that at the intensive abrasive wear using the abrasive cloth the best results were shown by hard woods, e.g. apple, beech or mahogany. Soft woods, e.g. horse-chestnut, silver fir or sweet cherry, are cheap, but their wear is bigger compared to hard woods.

Boronizing is one of the thermochemical surface treatment processes which is extensively used to obtain excellent mechanical properties such as high strength, very high hardness, good toughness and fracture toughness. In this study, AISI 1050 steel specimens have been subjected to pack boronizing process by using Ekabor 2 powder within the stainless steel seal container. The experiments were carried out at temperatures of 800 °C, 850 °C and 900 °C for 3, 6 and 9 hours to investigate the effect of these parameters on the wear resistance of boronized specimens. Pin-on-Disk wear testing is used to characterize wear properties of boronized specimens. Wear tests were performed at dry conditions under constant load of 30 N by using 220 mesh size Al2O3 abrasive paper. Different rotating speeds of the pin-on disk were selected as 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500 revolutions for each of the test specimens. After the abrasive tests, weight losses of the specimens were measured to determine the abrasive wear resistance of boronized specimens. The results were also compared with unboronized and conventional hardened AISI 1050 steel specimens respectively.

The abrasive wear of pure UHMWPE as well as one filled with nanoand microparticles (fibers) were investigated. It was found that abrasive wear resistance of microcomposites (containing AlO(OH) and Al2O3microparticles) can grow up by 16-18 times in comparison with pure UHMWPE depending on the strength and size of the filler as well as abrasive grit. Nanofillers (AlO(OH) and carbon nanofibers (CNF) as well as SiO2and Cu nanoparticles) as opposed to microfillers can improve abrasive wear resistance of UHMWPE in a significantly less degree (up to 50 %). Abrasive wear resistance of nanocomposites weakly depends on the type of filler and is defined by the polymeric matrix (permolecular) and counter-face abrasive grit. The comparative analysis of the wear mechanisms of UHMWPE based micro-and nanocomposites under abrasive wear (fixed abrasive particles) and dry sliding friction is carried out.

In the paper, microstructures and the examination results of abrasive-wear resistance of steel grades Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 are presented. It was found on the grounds of light and electron scanning microscopy that these steels are characterised by subtle differences in microstructures, influencing their mechanical and usable properties. In as-delivered condition, the steels have fine-grained structure with post-martensitic orientation, containing few particles of carbide phases. Such microstructures of Brinar steels and the performed chemical analyses indicate that their properties are formed during specialised operations of thermo-mechanical rolling. Generally, it can be said that the examined steels were designed according to the accepted standards of material engineering, related to low-alloy, high-strength, and abrasive-wear resistant martensitic steels. According to the above, the obtained results of structural examinations of Brinar 400 and Brinar 500 steels were referred to real abrasive-wear indices obtained by the spinning bowl method with use of various abrasive soil masses. The tests carried-out in light soil (loamy sand), medium soil (sandy loam), and in heavy soil (loam), as well as hardness measurements showed strict dependence of abrasive-wear indices on microstructures and the heattreatment condition of the examined steels. Examination results of abrasive-wear resistance of Brinar steels were compared with those of steel 38GSA in normalised conditions.

The present work analyzes the effect of 0.7%Ti and 1.7%W addition to a 17% chromium white iron in as-cast condition and after destabilization heat treatment. These alloys are commonly used in applications where a high abrasive wear resistance is required. For this reason, in addition to the characterization, a complementary wear test was performed. The alloys were characterized by optical and electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The simultaneous Ti and W addition promoted the (Ti,W)C primary carbides formation which grow in the early stages of solidification. These carbides were found well distributed in the iron matrix with an average hardness value of 2450 HV. Moreover, tungsten was found partially distributed in the different phases increasing the microhardness by solid solution and refining the eutectic carbide. These microstructural modifications resulted in the increase of the bulk hardness and abrasive wear resistance of the alloyed iron. After destabilization heat treatment, the carbide precipitation and the matrix transformation produced a secondary hardening reducing the wear losses. Based in the results of the present study, the simultaneous addition of these elements to promote the (Ti,W)C carbide formation during solidification represents an effective method to increase the hardness and wear resistance of these kind of alloys via small additions.

Hardfacing metals are widely used in arc welding and plasma transfer arc technologies and industries. However, application of hardfacing in agriculture is limited due to low toughness after weld depositing. This study was focused on destabilization of high chromium hardfacing metal. The hardfacing was destabilized at 900 and 1,000&deg;C in the different treatment time intervals. Destabilization treatment showed precipitation of secondary carbides leading to partial transformation of austenite to martensite phase in the matrix. The results show that increasing destabilization temperature increased volume of carbide phase in austenitic matrix which affects abrasive wear resistance. &nbsp;

Seal materials often lose their effectiveness due to the wear of surface under the combined effect of environment and load. In this research, a metallurgical bonding composite coating reinforced with nickel -coated tungsten carbide (Ni -WC) particles was produced on 40Cr carbon steel substrate by plasma sprayed. The bond strength of the coating/substrate interface and the tensile strength of the coating itself reached 260–330 and 100–132MPa, respectively. Effects of Ni and WC contents on the wear behavior of the coating have been systematically investigated at two different wear conditions, namely the high stress pin-on-disk abrasion and three-body abrasive wear. The results show that the higher the Ni content in the coating, the lower the hardness and wear resistance. In stress pin-on-disk abrasive wear, the mass percent of Ni in the coating having the lowest wear amount was 40%, and which was 60% in three-body abrasion. In view of the above, the WC reinforcement of the composite coating plays an important role in protecting the matrix from being worn-out, whereas in the abrasive wear, the wear mechanism is mainly controlled by the scratching and micro-cutting of the matrix followed by the pull out of WC particles due to the scratching action of abrasives. The wear resistance of the 40Cr carbon steel composite coating (Ni -WC) is better than that of the flame overlaid coating.
