Abstract
The tribological behavior of X120Mn12 steel (sample) during dry sliding against quenched C45 steel (counterbody) under high (>100 A/cm2) electric current density was studied. Sliding was performed using standard pin-on-ring loading configuration. The formation of transfer layers lower than 20 μm thick was detected and their visual images were obtained in the form of natural coatings of contact surfaces. The atomic and phase compositions of these coatings were also determined. The sample worn surface had two sectors deteriorated by different mechanisms. One of the sectors had signs of melt formation. The melt on the contact surface of the counterbody was also shown. The melt contained iron, oxygen, manganese and carbon. A mechanism of melt formation was proposed. Melt can exist only under sliding conditions and under current. This made it possible to explain the decrease in the friction coefficient, the increase in the contact conductivity and the increase in the wear intensity with increasing current density in the contact. In addition, the proposed mechanism of melt formation made it possible to explain the presence of abrasive wear in one of the sectors of the sample worn surface. It was also noted that the FeO concentration gradient in the transfer layers (of the sample and of counterbody) is not able to affect wear significantly.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
