Study on Tribological Behavior and Mechanisms of Weldox960 Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Weldox960 steel is widely used in mechanical structure of military equipments as anti-wear parts. The tribological behavior and mechanisms of weldox960 steel were investigated under dry sliding friction conditions. The results show that friction coefficient of the steel increases from 0.268 to 0.365 with the increase of load. When the loads are smaller than 8N, the wear rates of the steel are in the range of 0.57~0.67×10-3 mm3/m, and the wear mechanism is multi-plastic deformation wear. If the loads are bigger than 10N, the wear rates increase to the range of 1.29~1.43×10-3 mm3/m, and the wear mechanisms change into delamination of the work-hardening layer and abrasive wear. The friction coefficients keep in a steady state of about 0.31 when the sliding speeds change from 0.05m/s to 0.2m/s. At the low speeds of 0.05m/s and 0.1 m/s, the wear rates are in the range of 1~1.3×10-3 mm3/m and the wear mechanisms are multi-deformation wear and abrasive wear. When the sliding speed increases to a critical value of 0.15m/s, the wear rates increase to 6.2×10-3 mm3/m and the wear mechanisms change into fatigue delamination of the work-hardening layer and multi-plastic deformation wear as well as oxidation wear.
