Abstract
Various heat treatment techniques have been used to enhance the mechanical and tribological properties of the substrate material. Adding BN nanoparticles into the base matrix-bearing steel helps improve tribological properties. In the present work, three different samples of the bearing material 100Cr6 are impregnated with various wt—% of boron nitride nanoparticles. The tribological properties of the fabricated specimens have been evaluated using a pin-on-disc tribometer. The pins samples of 100Cr6 were heat treated in a vacuum at 1200 °C temperature. The samples were kept inside the furnace for 10 h. The microhardness of the prepared specimen is determined using the traverse method. The microstructure and the elemental composition of the specimens are characterized using SEM and EDAX analysis.
