Abstract

A method is proposed for increasing the wear resistance of friction pairs by placing solid lubricants within the macro-relief prepared by deformational cutting. Austenitic steel 12Kh18N10T specimens are studied after deformational cutting: metallographic studies of the structure, hardness measurement, investigation of chemical composition through the volume of an edge by mapping energy­dispersive spectra. Tribological tests are conducted for specimens with introduction of macro-relief obtained by deformational cutting, fluoroplastic, and thermally expanded graphite. Results demonstrate the efficiency of using deformational cutting when creating friction pairs, both in terms of increased austenitic steel wear resistance due to the TRIP effect, and use of the macro-relief in terms of placing solid lubricant within a friction surface structure.
