Changes of Mechanical Properties of Steel 12Cr18Ni10Тi after Electrolytic-Plasma Cementation

Abstract:

In the present work the results of electrolytic-plasma treatment influence on the mechanical properties and structural-phase condition of steel’s 12Cr18Ni10Ti surface layers. In the work, the mechanical characteristics of steel’s surface layers are investigated, cemented in electrolytic plasma with the composition of 10 % Nа2CO3 and 10 % С3Н8О3. The operational parameters for the processing are determined. The optimal content of components in saturating mixtures of plasma by cementation is defined. According to the study it is found that, after electrolyte plasma processing, high wear resistance and hardness increased in 2-2.5 times more than in the original condition. The hardened layer with thickness 30-65 µm is formed. It is shown that after the electrolyte-plasma processing of steel 12Cr18Ni10Ti, microstructure contains particles of carbides and has a fine-grained martensitic structure.
