Abrasive wear is one of the prime and mostly costly causes of secondary failure in the design and operation of mechanical machines and equipment. Wear limits must be known and measured to assure quality and durability of products by an experimental process to determine an optimum material composition. The development of wear monitoring systems for industrial processes is well recognised in the ...

Allegheny Ludlum Type 316Ti (UNS S31635) is a titanium stabilized version of Type 316 molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. It is also known as DIN/EN designation No. 1.4571. The Type 316 alloys are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304. They also offer higher creep, stress-ru...

The paper presents the research results on produsing by method of liquid-phase self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) composite metal-matrix alloys intended for obtaining wear-resistant coatings electric spark deposition (ESD). Oxides NiO, Cr 2 O 3 and mineral concentrate ZrO were used as a melting charge. Alloys based Ni-Al system with aluminides complex composition containing Zr ob...

Both erosive and abrasive wear are common in mechanical systems moving components industrial production. Once they occur machine parts, the task of breakdown maintenance should be carried out, leading to high production costs. Previous research has shown that high-chromium cast iron (HCCI), a commonly used wear-resistant material, experiences repeated particle impacts break up chromium carbides...

The tribological protection of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites (CFC) is essential for broadening their use from structural to functional applications, e.g., to linear bearings in mechanical engineering. However, their wear resistance in sliding and rolling contacts is low. This work focusses on the possibility of improving their tribological properties by the application of thin hard m...

17-4PH stainless steel is a martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel that provides an outstanding combination of high strength, good corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties, good toughness in both base metal and welds, and short time, low-temperature heat treatments that minimize warpage and scaling. This valuable alloy is widely used in the aerospace, nuclear, chemical, pet...

In most of the engineering applications, such as mining, metallurgy, agriculture; equipments are failed by the abrasive wear. The data as obtained form ministry of Research and Technology indicates that the percentage cost of abrasive wear in federal republic of German in metallurgy industry is 40%, mining industry 30%, agriculture 20% and production engineering 10%, and so the material selecti...

In this work, a study of the wear transition regimes was carried out for a pin-on-disk sliding couple, involving two steels of different hardness and Cr contents. Dry sliding wear behaviour of the more highly alloyed stainless steel was dominated by adhesive wear and tribo-oxidation at relatively low sliding speeds and by mixed and adhesive wear at high speeds and loads. In contrast, oxidative ...
