High-manganese Hadfield cast steel is commonly used for machine components operating under dynamic load conditions. The high fracture toughness and abrasive wear resistance of this steel are the result of an austenitic structure, which—while being ductile—at the same time tends to surface harden under the effect of cold work. Absence of dynamic loads (e.g., in the case of sand abrasion) causes rapid and premature wear of parts. To improve the abrasive wear resistance of high-manganese cast steel for operation under the conditions free from dynamic loads, primary niobium carbides are produced in this cast steel during the melting process to obtain in castings, after melt solidification, the microstructure consisting of an austenitic matrix and primary niobium carbides uniformly distributed in this matrix. The measured hardness of the tested samples as cast and after solution heat treatment is 260–290 HV and is about 30–60 HV higher than the hardness of common Hadfield cast steel, which is 230 HV. Compared to common Hadfield cast steel, the abrasive wear resistance of the tested high-manganese cast steel measured in the Miller test is at least three times higher at the niobium content of 3.5 wt%. Increasing the niobium content to 4.5 wt%. in the tested samples increases this wear resistance even more.

Abstract The results of the modification of austenitic matrix in cast high-manganese steel containing 11÷19% Mn with additions of Cr, Ni and Ti were discussed. The introduction of carbide-forming alloying elements to this cast steel leads to the formation in matrix of stable complex carbide phases, which effectively increase the abrasive wear resistance in a mixture of SiC and water. The starting material used in tests was a cast Hadfield steel containing 11% Mn and 1.34% C. The results presented in the article show significant improvement in abrasive wear resistance and hardness owing to the structure modification with additions of Cr and Ti.

Abstract This paper presents the results of experimental studies, the main aim of which has been to demonstrate that changes in the microstructure of austenitic 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel provoked by the addition of 1.4% boron, and boron with titanium, give increased wear resistance. After melting the high-alloyed 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel with an addition of boron, and boron with titanium, metallographic examinations were conducted using light microscopy and SEM. These examinations revealed in the austenitic structure of the 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel, the presence of a eutectic rich in boron and chromium, and characterised by a microhardness of 1838-1890 μ HV20. Additionally, in the cast steel inoculated with boron and titanium, the presence of titanium nitride precipitates was observed. Changes that have occurred in the microstructure as a result of introducing the additions of boron, and boron with titanium, also caused an increase of the cast steel hardness from 212 HV30 to 290-320 HV30 and 320-350 HV30, respectively. To determine the abrasive wear resistance, 16-hour Miller test was performed (ASTM G 75-07), wherein the abrasive medium was a mixture of SiC and water. Obtaining the hard, rich in boron and chromium, eutectic and titanium nitride precipitates in the structure of 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel increased the abrasive wear resistance by approximately 21%, according to the data recorded in the sixteenth hour of the test cycle. As an additional benchmark point for the results obtained served the wear resistant, structural, L35GSM steel used for castings working in difficult conditions. Comparing the values of abrasive wear resistance obtained for the 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel and cast L35GSM steel, an increase in the wear resistance of the 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel by about 35% has been proved.

On the example of Hadfield steel, as the most common material of fast-wearing parts of mining equipment, the effect of surface hardening by plastic deformation on their impact and abrasive wear resistance is considered. Wear test is conducted on magnetic ironstone as typical representative of abrasive and hard rock. As result of wear of initial samples with hardness of ∼200 HB and samples pre-hardened with different intensities to the hardness of 300, 337 and 368 HB, it is found that during the initial testing period, the initial samples pass the “self-cold-work hardening” stage with increase in hardness to ∼250 HB, which remains virtually unchanged during further tests; the hardness of the pre-hardened samples does not change significantly throughout the tests. It is established that the rate of impact-abrasive wear of pre-hardened samples is significantly (up to 1.4 times) lower than the original ones that are not subjected to plastic deformation, and decreases with increasing degree of cold-work hardening. Preliminary surface hardening by plastic deformation can serve as effective way to increase the service life of fast-wearing working parts of mining equipment.
