Evaluation Method of Impact and Abrasive Steel Resistance

Abstract

A technique is developed for evaluating the impact-abrasive resistance of cast specimens, which allows simulating the conditions of impact and abrasive wear when changing the following factors: impact energy, abrasive impact angle, abrasive type, and its consumption and grain size. The complex experiment results for five carbide-promoting elements effect on abrasive (AR), impact and abrasive (IAR), and antifriction (AFR) steel resistance in the cast and hardened states are presented. The possibility of using the new technique for evaluating wear resistance and optimizing the composition of steel operating under impact-abrasive effects is shown.
