Tribological mechanisms of slurry abrasive wear
AbstractAbrasive wear mechanisms—including two-body and three-body abrasion—dominate the performance and lifespan of tribological systems in many engineering fields, even of those operating in lubricated conditions. Bearing steel (100Cr6) pins and discs in a flat-on-flat contact were utilized in experiments together with 5 and 13 µm Al2O3-based ...

Effect of Tempering Temperature on Impact Wear Behavior of 30Cr3Mo2WNi Hot-Working Die Steel
Effects of tempering temperature on impact wear of 30Cr3Mo2WNi hot-working die steel are investigated by SEM, TEM, hardness, and impact wear tests. From 300 to 680°C, the hardness of the steel decreases and the impact toughness increases with increasing ...

Micro-abrasion-corrosion interactions of Ni-Cr/WC based coatings : approaches to construction of tribo-corrosion maps for the abrasion-corrosion synergism [PDF]
The process of micro-abrasion-corrosion has been the subject of much research in recent years due to the fact that the action of micron sized particles, typically less than 10 um in diameter, can cause significant degradation of materials in many diverse
