Additional Strengthening of “Screper” Jewelry Tool Using Friction

Abstract:

This study is aimed at strengthening the working surfaces of the jewelry tool - scraper. This tool is used for fine cutting work. The object of research is a method of additional thermofrictional hardening of samples of jewelry tool - scrapers made of carbon steel tool grade U8A. In the course of work the complex of metallographic, mechanical and analytical researches of samples in an initial condition after hardening and low-temperature release which includes is carried out which includes:1) preparation of samples in the form of plates and their preliminary heat treatment;2) surface thermofrictional strengthening (STS);3) conducting metallographic analysis of samples; measuring the microhardness and depth of the layer with a changed cross-sectional structure of the samples after STS;4) analysis of the influence of STS on changes in the structure and properties of steel on the basis of the obtained results, as well as identification of the degree of its strengthening and the role of deformation.The methodology of experimental researches is presented. Photographs of samples and some equipment at different stages of the study are given. Data on the distribution of microhardness, photographs of microstructures in cross section of samples after additional strengthening are presented. The efficiency of strengthening of samples after use of additional processing is shown.
