Abstract
The influence of high temperature on wear resistance deterioration of 38CrMoAl alloy steel treated by a composite strengthening method of nitriding followed by microshot peening was investigated, compared with that of singly nitrided steel. Results show that the tribological performance of the compositely strengthened steel is better than that of singly nitrided steel, regardless of the normal load and the temperature. The improvement was attributed to the increased surface hardness, residual compressive stress and reduced roughness. Notably, the wear loss of the compositely strengthened steel remarkably increased at the high temperature and heavy load. Deterioration of the excellent wear resistance of the compositely strengthened steel was resulted from the combined effects of significant residual stress release and redistribution, as well as the growth of surface grains and the decrease of hardness at elevated temperature, which suggests that the compositely strengthened steel is more effective to be used at room temperature. Wear mechanism of the compositely strengthened steel is primarily abrasive wear, except for fatigue pitting at room temperature.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.
