Abstract
This study investigates the wear behavior of Al-Si-coated 22MnB5 steel, with respect to coating quantity, during a simulated hot-stamping process. A strip-drawing tribometer was used to replicate the process. Specimens were prepared with three distinct coating quantities (AS40, AS80, and AS140) and were subjected to an identical heat treatment at 900 °C for 5 min. Under the specific contact pressure and sliding velocity conditions tested in this study, tribological tests revealed that specimens with higher coating quantities exhibited lower friction coefficients and increased tool weight. In contrast, specimens with lower coating quantities exhibited the opposite trend. The level of oxidation varied inversely with coating quantity, with lower coating quantities promoting greater iron oxide formation. As the coating quantity increased, the amount of residual aluminum (Al) available for alloying also increased. This variation in residual Al was a critical factor that dictated the reaction pathways of the diffused iron (Fe), which either formed intermetallic compounds or oxides. Our findings demonstrate that variations in the Al-Si coating quantity, followed by heat treatment, significantly influence the friction behavior, tool wear, Fe reaction pathways, and oxidation characteristics during the hot-stamping process.
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.
