Ionic Nitriding

In this article, the effects of an ionic nitriding treatment are analysed, together with deliberate variation of different thermal parameters associated with the destabilisation of austenite, on erosive wear resistance of white cast irons with 25% Cr. The methodology followed in this research was an experimental design, where six factors were analyzed by performing eight experiments. The thickness of the nitrided layer is much smaller than in white cast iron with lower percentages in Cr, never reaching 20 microns. The nitriding treatment entails considerable softening of the material underneath the nitriding layer. This softening behaviour becomes partially inhibited when the destabilisation temperature of austenite is 1100 °C and dwell times at such temperature are prolonged. This temperature seems to play a significant role in the solubilization of non-equilibrium eutectic carbides, formed during industrial solidification. The nitriding treatment leads to additional hardening, which, in these cases, favours a second destabilisation of austenite, with additional precipitation of secondary carbides and the transformation of retained austenite into martensite. Despite softening of the material, the nitriding treatment, together with air-cooling after destabilisation of the austenite, allows a noticeable increase in resistance to erosive wear.

The article shows the relevance of the use of alloyed cast iron in mining and metallurgical engineering. The article discusses the technologies for producing naturally alloyed cast iron. For working bodies and friction units of mining machines, such as pumps, coal pumps, hydrocyclones, crushers and mills. The main type of wear for them is abrasive. To increase the wear resistance of cast iron the production of cast iron has not been sufficiently studied yet. Although the use of cast iron in a complex alloyed with manganese, silicon, chromium, titanium and vanadium has been studied. The article studies the influence of manganese, titanium and vanadium on the mechanical properties and performance of machine parts and products of mining and metallurgical production in contact with high-temperature and highly abrasive media. The rational content of titanium and vanadium in gray cast irons is established in the range of 0.05-0.1%, which ensures their heat resistance and increases their wear resistance. The content of these elements can be increased to 0.07-0.12%. Bushings made of this cast iron have the required wear resistance and can increase the operational reliability of the equipment in the conditions of mining and metallurgical production. They also replace non-ferrous metals, as well as products obtained by powder metallurgy methods.

Enhance Wear Resistance

Ni-Co-W composite coatings modified by different contents of Co-based alloy powder in the Ni-based alloy with 35 wt.% WC (Ni35WC) were deposited on stainless steel by laser cladding. The influence of compositional and microstructural modification on the wear properties has been comparatively investigated by XRD, SEM, and EDS techniques. It was found that the austenite dendrites in the modified coating adding 50 wt.% Co-based alloy were refined and a lot of Cr23C6 or M23(C, B)6 compounds with fine lamellar feature were formed around austenitic grain boundaries or in the intergranular regions. The contribution of element Co to the modification of Ni35WC coating is that it cannot only promote the formation of more hard compounds to refine austenite grains, but also refine the size of precipitates, and change the phase type of eutectic structure as a result of disappeared Cr boride brittle phases. A noticeable improvement in wear resistance is obtained in the Ni35WC coating with 50 wt.% Co-based alloy, which makes the wear rate decreased by about 53 % and 30% by comparison to that of the substrate and the Ni35WC coating, respectively. It is suggested that the improvement is closely related to the composite coating being strengthened owing to the increase of coating hardness, formation of a fine-grained microstructure caused by Co, and fine hard precipitate phases in the eutectic structure.

Wear Tests

The aim of this work was to study the wear behavior of high-chromium white cast iron of families ASTM A-532 II (B, D) and III A, used in mining equipment, in order to establish relationships between the wear resistance, hardness and microstructure of the alloys, with the ultimate purpose of predicting their resistance to abrasion. Samples from these cast irons were subjected to mechanical wear tests by rotating drum, then their micro/macro hardness was measured and microstructure analyzed by optical and scanning electron microscopy .It was found that when the macroscopic hardness differences were significant there was a strong correlation between the hardness and the loss of mass due to abrasion-impact wear. By contrast, when the alloys had similar hardness, the wear resistance was determined by morphology, size, and the distribution and connectivity of carbides and matrix and therefore was not predictable by an only simple hardness test.

Strength And Ductility

Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) developments have largely focused on automotive applications using metallurgical approaches to develop retained austenite-containing microstructures in a variety of new steels, using the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect to achieve better combinations of strength and ductility. These efforts have been extended in recent studies to explore the potential to improve wear resistance, using metastable retained austenite to enhance wear resistance for earth-moving and other applications. This paper provides selected highlights of the authors’ efforts to develop wear resistant steels using AHSS processing approaches. Some attractive product/process development opportunities are identified, and it appears that martensite-austenite microstructures produced using “quenching and partitioning” exhibit increased wear resistance.

The way of solving the problem of surface wear of products from cast iron due to development of technological processes of its strengthening treatment is offered in this article. Receiving the hardened skins is reached by purposeful formation of the set structural condition of metal by methods of surface impregnation, i.e., modifying. Results of researches on thermochemical treatment of cast irons of grades EN-GJL-250, EN-JS1060 are presented The micro-structural analysis showed that with rising the saturation temperature and increasing the process duration the layer depth cartbonitration increases. Studying the samples for wear resistance carried out on stand ММ 295 showed that for grade EN-GJL-250 it increased 2,2 times, and for grade EN-JS1060 – 3 times as compared to the initial (non-modified) state. Experimental-industrial tests of products of cast iron (model accessory, parts of homogenizing pumps) after carbonitration permitted to state 2-4 times of its surface.
