Many abrasion resistant steels rely on a martensitic microstructure to ensure hardness,
which in general correlates with better wear performance. However, in practice the steel may …

The mechanical friction leads to a large amount of energy consumption every year. To
decrease the friction and wear and prolong the service life of the working components are …

Wear and friction properties depend on many parameters such as normal load and material
hardness. However, coupled contributions of microstructure and abrasive particle size are …

The effect of heat treatment (300–950° C) on friction and abrasive wear behaviour of WC-
12Co and Cr 3 C 2–25NiCr coatings was investigated in the present work. The abrasive …

The impact of both the laser directed energy deposition (DED) process parameters and post-
deposition heat-treatment cycles on the microstructural characteristics and hardness are …

Ultrasonic surface rolling processing (USRP) with different rolling times (2, 6 and 10 times)
was introduced to the Cr12MoV steel. The surface integrity and wear resistance after USRP …

The friction and abrasive wear of plasma sprayed Al 2 O 3-13TiO 2 coating, with and without
the addition of graphite was investigated. XPS analysis was used to determine the extent of …

Tunnel boring machine (TBM) cutter ring material is a type of C–Cr–Mo–V alloy steel which
possesses high hardness and wear resistance. To systematically study the effect of …

Conventional heat treatment is not capable of converting a sufficient amount of retained
austenite into martensite in high-carbon or high-carbon and high-alloyed iron alloys …

The main purpose of this work was to study the dissolution behavior of carbides and the
microstructure evolution in high-carbon high-chromium steel during ultrasonic surface rolling …
