Effect of Regimes of Anode Plasma Electrolytic Carburizing on Tribological Properties of Titanium Alloy VT 20

Article Preview

Abstract:

Microhardness, friction coefficient, and wear rate of carburized titanium alloy VT 20 are considered. An X-ray diffractometer, a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) used to characterize the phase composition of the modified layer and its surface morphology. A pin-on-disc tribometer was occupied to evaluate wear behavior of the treated titanium alloys. It is established that the friction coefficient decreases from 0.46 (untreated sample) to 0.15 for the sample carburized at 750 °C during 5 min. Therefore, the anode carburizing of titanium alloys results in the reducing of the wear rate by 2 orders.
