Özet

© 2022 Elsevier B.V.Wear behaviour of quenched and tempered (QT) hot work tool steels (Uddeholm QRO90) was investigated against SAE 52100 grade bearing steel balls after gas nitriding using a dedicated laboratory scale impact-sliding wear test rig. Gas nitriding was employed in a fluidised bed reactor under two alternative regimes: i. “High Temperature Nitriding (HTN)” carried out at 510 °C and ii. “Low Temperature Nitriding (LTN)” carried out at ≤ 400 °C. The HTN process resulted in the formation of ∼2 μm thick external compound layer, whereas the LTN processed steels were free of any surface compound layer formation. After the impact-sliding wear tests employed at room temperature (RT), the prevailing wear mechanisms of the examined steels were assessed as tribo-oxidation and fatigue wear. The testing at 600 °C induced different wear mechanisms for the HTN and the LTN steels. While tribo-oxidation and fatigue wear were preserved for the HTN steel, plastic deformation dominated the wear that progressed on the compound layer free surface of the LTN steel. Impact-sliding wear testing at 600 °C showed that the wear rate of LTN > HTN steels, as opposed to the wear rate at RT where wear rate of HTN > LTN.
