Effect of Microstructure on Impact Fatigue Resistance and Impact Wear Resistance of Medium Cr-Si Cast Iron

 A great amount of iron grinding balls in tube mills have been consumed. Under this impact abrasive wear working condition, the failure of wear resistant alloying white irons grinding balls is mainly caused by fatigue spalling. The impact wear resistance of martensitic high chromium cast iron (Cr of 15%) is not high sometimes, but its cost is not low. Thus, medium Cr Si wear resistant cast iron is recommended. The influence of the iron on impact fatigue resistance and impact wear resistance is pronounced. Ball on ball impact fatigue test and high stress impact wear test of the grinding balls have been carried out. The results show that the impact fatigue resistance (IFR) and impact wear resistance (IWR) of medium Cr Si cast iron are superior to those of martensitic high chromium cast iron (Cr of 15%). The main reasons are that (1) the stress in medium Cr Si cast iron is released in the as cast state; (2) the matrix is fine pearlite with better toughness and plasticity; (3) the pearlite is more stable compared with a retained austenite under repeated impact load and less phase transformation can take place; (4) high silicon content improves the morphology of eutectic carbide; (5) there is no secondary carbide which results in less crack sources. All these factors are beneficial to improvement of impact fatigue spalling resistance. The eutectic carbide M7C3 is the main constituent to resist wear.     

The Properties and Performance of Cast Iron Grinding Media

Cast iron balls have been used for decades as a grinding media in all types of grinding applications. Early applications of cast iron grinding balls in mineral processing operations were disastrous due to spalling and premature breakage. Better control and understanding of a high chromium cast iron metallurgical system have led to the use of high chromium cast iron balls in all types of grinding. This paper reviews the wear properties of cast iron grinding media materials during dry and wet grinding conditions. The media wear mechanisms and the factors influencing the grinding ball wear during grinding are discussed, giving special importance to the corrosion and abrasion properties of cast iron media materials.

Abrasive Wear Behavior and Mechanism of High Chromium Cast Iron

The abrasive wear behavior of high chromium cast iron(containing 12.9mass%chromium)austenitized at1 050 ℃for 2hand austempered in salt bath at 320℃for 4hwas evaluated.Abrasive wear was performed using alumina abrasive under four different loads,namely 50,100,150,and 200 N,for 36 000 cycles.The worn surfaces and wear debris were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy,laser confocal microscopy and X-ray diffraction.Microhardness profiles were also obtained in order to analyze the strain-hardening effects beneath the contact surfaces.Results indicate that the retained austenite in high chromium cast iron has experienced induced martensitic transformation after tests,for small amounts of retained austenite could be detected by X-ray diffraction.In addition,there is a close relationship between wear mechanism and test load.Under the condition of lower test load,the wear mechanism is an uninterrupted and repeated process,during which matrix is cut at first and then fine carbides flake off.As to higher test load,scratching and spalling induced by cleavage fracture of blocky carbide are the wear mechanism.

Abrasive Wear Behavior of High Chromium Cast Iron and Hadfield Steel-- A Comparison

 Abstract： Wear properties of two different crushers used for grinding raw materials of cement industry are compared using pin-on-disk wear test. The wear test was carried out with different loads on a pin. Abrasive wear behavior of two alloys was evaluated by comparing mass loss, wear resistance, microhardness and friction coefficient. The microstructure of the specimens was detected using optical microscope. The results showed that abrasive wear of high chromium cast iron is lower than that of Hadfield steel. Due to the presence of M7C3 carbides on the high chromium cast iron matrix, impact crushers exhibited higher friction coefficient.

Microstructure and Impact Wear Resistance of TiN Reinforced High Manganese Steel Matrix

 A high-manganese austenitic steel matrix (Mn13) composite reinforced with TiN ceramic particles was synthesized by means of Vacuum-Evaporation Pattern Casting (V-EPC). The composite microstructure and interface bonding of TiN/matrix were analyzed utilizing optical microscope (OM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effects of different volume fraction of TiN on impact wear resistance were evaluated by MLD-10 impact wear test.The results showed that TiN was evenly distributed in composite layer and had a good interface bonding with matrix when the volume fractions of TiN were 27% and 36%, respectively. However, cast defects and TiN agglomeration occurred when the TiN volume fraction increased to 48%. Compared with high-manganese austenitic steel (Mn13), the impact wear resistance of the TiN-reinforced composite is better. In small impact load conditions, composite layer can effectively resist abrasives wear and TiN particles played an important role in determining impact wear resistance of composite layer. In large impact load, the synergistic roles of spalling of TiN particles and the increase of work hardening of Mn13 based material are responsible for impact wear resistance.     

硅对贝氏体铸钢高应力冲击磨损性能的影响

研究了不同硅含量（0．7％－2．4％,质量分数,下同）贝氏体铸钢的抗高应力磨损性能和失效机制。结果表明：高效硅贝氏体铸钢的耐磨性能较低硅钢显提高,其磨损失重约是低硅贝氏体铸钢的1．2,这是因为硅使氏体铸钢在高应力冲击磨损下表现出不同的失效机制。低硅（0．7％）贝氏体铸钢由于韧性低、组织结构粗大及树枝晶的微区成分偏析,故材料抵抗冲击的能力很低,常在表面还未形成强烈变形层（白层）甚至变形层时,就在变形层和材料基体内产生裂纹并扩展,故低硅贝氏体铸钢的失铲方式为变形层和基体剥落机制。而硅含量为1．65－2．4％的高硅贝氏体铸钢,因脆性的渗碳体被韧性的残余奥氏体所代替,钢的韧性显提高,失效方式表现为白层的剥落机制。

Imposed Thermal Fatigue and Post-Thermal-Cycle Wear Resistance of Biomimetic Gray Cast Iron by Laser Treatment

The present study aims to create coupling biomimetic units on gray cast iron substrate by laser surface treatment (LST). LSTs for single-step (LST1) and two-step (LST2) processes, were carried out on gray cast iron in different media (air and water). Their effects on microstructure, thermal fatigue, and post-thermal-cycle wear (PTW) resistance on the specimens were studied. The tests were carried out to examine the influence of crack-resistance behavior as well as the biomimetic surface on its post-thermal-cycle wear behavior and different units, with different laser treatments for comparison. Results showed that LST2 enhanced the PTW behaviors of gray cast iron, which then led to an increase in its crack resistance. Among the treated cast irons, the one treated by LST2 in air showed the lowest residual stress, due to the positive effect of the lower steepness of the thermal gradient. Moreover, the same specimen showed the best PTW performance, due to its superior crack resistance and higher hardness as a result of it.

Effect of Heat Treatment on Structure and Wear Re- sistance of High Chromium Cast Steel ContainingBoron

The microstructure, mechanical properties and wear resistance of high chromium cast steel containing boron after different heat treatments were studied by means of the optical microscopy （OM）, the scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, hardness, impact toughness, tensile and pin-on-disc abrasion tests. The results show that as cast microstructures of boron-free high chromium steel consist of martensite and a few （Cr, Fe）_7C_3 carbide, and the macro-hardness of boron-free high chromium steel is 55-57 HRC. After 0.5 mass% B was added into high chromium cast steel, as-cast structure transforms into eutectic （Fe, Cr）2B, （Cr, Fe）7 （C, B）a and martensite, and the macro-hardness reaches 58-60 HRC. High temperature quenching leads to the disconnection and isolated distribution of boride, and there are many （Cr,Fe）_23 （C,B）_6 precipitated phases in the quenching structure. Quenching from 1050 ℃, high chromium steel obtained the highest hardness, and the hardness of high chromium cast steel containing boron is higher than that of boron-free high chromium steel. The change of quenching temperature has no obvious effect on impact toughness of high chromium steel, and the increase of quenching temperature leads to tensile strength having an increasing tendency. At the same quenching temperature, the wear resistance of high chromium cast steel containing boron is more excellent than that of boron-free high chromium steel. High chromium cast steel guide containing boron has good performance while using in steel bar mill.

Resistance to High-Temperature Oxidation and Wear of Various Ferrous Alloys Used in Rolling Mills

Various materials are commonly used to manufacture work rolls for hot rolling mills, such as ICDP (Indefinite Chill Double Pour) cast irons, high-chromium white cast irons, and high speed steels (HSS). Various chemical compositions and microstructures are studied in order to optimize the in-use behavior of those grades of rolls. In this paper, six grades of ferrous alloys (an ICDP cast iron; an ICDP cast iron enriched in vanadium, niobium, and molybdenum; a HSS; a graphitic HSS; a high-chromium white cast iron (Hi-Cr); and a niobium-molybdenum-doped high-chromium white cast iron) were investigated. High-temperature oxidation tests with gravimetric means at 575 °C in water vapor atmosphere and sliding wear tests were carried out. The oxidation kinetics was followed during oxidation test. The microstructure was observed by optical and scanning electron microscopies. The oxides formed on the surface of the samples were analyzed by XRD and EDS. The thickness of the oxide scales and the mass gain were measured after oxidation test. The results showed that the behavior of all the grades differed. The oxide scale of HSS and HSS-G grades was fine and their friction coefficient was low. The weight gain after oxidation test of HSS was high. Hi-Cr and M-Hi-Cr grades presented highly porous oxide layer and an important increase of the friction coefficient during wear test. ICDP and M-ICDP had intermediate behavior.     

Wear Resistant Steels and Casting Alloys containing Niobium Carbide

Niobium, like titanium and vanadium, forms superhard MC carbides that remain relatively pure in technical alloys on account of their low solubility for other metallic alloying elements. However, because they have a greater hardness than the precipitated chromium carbides commonly used in wear‐resistant alloys, they are suitable as alternative hard phases. This contribution deals with new wear‐resistant steels and casting alloys containing niobium carbide. These include a secondary hardening hardfacing alloy, a composite casting alloy for wear applications at elevated temperatures, a white cast iron as well as two variants of a corrosion‐resistant cold‐work tool steel produced by melt metallurgy and by powder metallurgy. A heat‐resistant casting alloy is also discussed. Based on equilibrium calculations the microstructures developing during production of the alloys are analysed, and the results are discussed with respect to important properties such as abrasive wear and corrosion resistance.     

Effects of heat treatment and counterface on the wear behaviour of Cr21 cast iron

The unlubricated sliding wear test of high chromium white cast irons (HCCIs) was conducted using a pin-on-disc configuration under different heat treatments and different hardnesses of the counterface. With the increase of counterface hardness (20?HRC–47?HRC–54?HRC), the mass loss of the sample first increases then decreases. When the counterface hardness is 20?HRC, adhesion wear mainly takes place between the high chromium cast iron and the surface of 1045 steel. When the hardness is 47 or 54?HRC, first HCCI’ matrix wear takes place, then carbide bump flakes under alternating stress. The mass loss of the counterface decreases with the increase of hardness for the same sample. The mass loss of quenching, once tempering and twice tempering sample decreases gradually for the same counterface hardness, but fluctuation of the samples’ surface increased. The disc material is always softer than the pin material and results in a severe wear regime operation.
