Abstract

The friction and wear characteristics of new Mo-W-type hot-work die steel, known as SDCM-S, were studied at high temperature. The results showed that the new Mo-W-type steel had greater wear resistance compared with H13 steel, which was due to its high oxidizability and high-temperature property. The high oxidizability and high temper stability features facilitate the generation, growth, and maintenance of a tribo-oxide layer at high temperature under relatively stable conditions. The thick tribo-oxide layer and high temper stability postpone the transition from mild to severe wear and ensure that conditions of mild oxidative wear are maintained in SDCM-S steel. The M2C and M6C carbides in Mo-W-type steel increase the temper stability and provide sufficient additional support for the formation and growth of a single thick tribo-oxide layer at high temperature. Mild oxidative wear is the dominant wear mechanism for SDCM-S steel between 400 and 700 °C.
