The particle size effect on abrasive wear of high-chromium white cast iron mill balls

Granite grinding tests, under dry and wet conditions, were performed to assess the influence of abrasive particle size to the wear behavior of martensitic high-chromium white cast iron mill balls. The tests were performed, at first, using raw granite particle sizes between 0.074 and 19.1 mm, and then with coarse and fine granite fractions obtained after screening the raw granite in a 3.36 mm sieve. It is demonstrated that the relative particle/ball size relationship is the determining parameter to ball wear. The highest ball wear rates were observed for fine granite grinding under dry (120 mg/cycle) and wet (129 mg/cycle) conditions. The lowest wear rate (ca. 50 mg/cycle) was observed for coarse granite grinding (dry and wet). These different results were attributed to the different size relationships between grinding body diameter and granite particles size. For wet-grinding of raw granite, the mineral components may influence significantly the wear behavior. Feldspar can act as a bonding agent, gluing fine quartz particles to the coarse granite and to the balls surface and turning the dependence of the relationship between the relative sizes of ball and granite particle less important to the wear process. This explains why wet-grinding of raw granite results in a ball wear two times greater (106 mg/cycle) than dry-grinding (51 mg/cycle).     

Abrasive wear study of white cast iron with different solidification rates

The abrasive wear resistance of white cast iron was studied. The iron was solidified using two solidification rates of 1.5 and 15 °C/s. Mass loss was evaluated with tests of the type pin on abrasive disc using alumina of different sizes. Two matrices were tested: one predominantly austenitic and the other predominantly martensitic, containing M₃C carbides. Samples with cooling rate of 15 °C/s showed higher hardness and more refined microstructure compared with those solidified at 1.5 °C/s. During the test, the movement of successive abrasives gave rise to the strain hardening of the austenite phase, leading to the attainment of similar levels of surface hardness, which explains why the wear rate showed no difference compared to the austenite samples with different solidification rates. For the austenitic matrix the wear rate seems to depend on the hardness of the worn surface and not on the hardness of the material without deformation. The austenitic samples showed cracking and fracture of M₃C carbides. For the predominantly martensitic matrix, the wear rate was higher at the solidification rate of 1.5 °C/s, for grain size of 66 and 93 μm. Higher abrasive sizes were found to produce greater penetration and strain hardening of austenitic matrices. However, martensitic iron produces more microcutting, increasing the wear rate of the material. The analysis of the worn surface by scanning electron microscopy indicated abrasive wear mechanisms such as: microcutting, microfatigue and microploughing. Yet, for the iron of austenitic matrix, the microploughing mechanism was more severe.     

Effect of carbide fraction and matrix microstructure on the wear of cast iron balls tested in a laboratory ball mill

The effect of carbide volume fraction from 13 to 41% on the wear resistance of high chromium cast irons was evaluated by means of ball mill testing. Martensitic, pearlitic and austenitic matrices were evaluated.

The 50-mm diameter balls were tested simultaneously in a 40 cm diameter ball mill. Hematite, phosphate rock and quartz sand were wet ground. The tests were conducted for 200 h.

Quartz sand caused the highest wear rates, ranging from 6.5 to 8.6 μm/h for the martensitic balls, while the wear rates observed for the phosphate rock ranged from 1.4 to 2.9 μm/h.

Increasing the carbide volume fraction resulted in decreased wear rates for the softer abrasives. The almost complete protection of the matrix by carbides in eutectic microstructures caused the eutectic alloy to present the best performance against hematite or phosphate rock. The opposite effect was observed for the quartz sand. The quartz abrasive rapidly wears out the matrix, continuously exposing and breaking carbide branches. A martensitic steel presented the best performance against the quartz abrasive.

With phosphate rock, the wear rate of 30% carbide cast irons increased from 1.46 to 2.84 and to 6.39 μm/h as the matrix changed, respectively, from martensitic to austenitic and to pearlitic. Wear profiles of worn balls showed that non-martensitic balls presented deep subsurface carbide cracking, due to matrix deformation. Similar behavior was observed in the tests with the other abrasives.

In pin-on-disc tests, austenitic samples performed better than the martensitic ones. This result shows that pin tests in the presence of retained austenite can be misleading.     

Effect of cryogenic treatment on the matrix structure and abrasion resistance of white cast iron subjected to destabilization treatment

Effect of deep cryogenic treatment on the matrix structure and abrasion resistance of high chromium cast iron subjected to destabilization heat treatment has been investigated in this paper. The results show that, during the cryogenic treatment, the secondary carbides precipitate in austenite, which promote the transformation of retained austenite to martensite. The cryogenic treated alloys produced superior hardness and wear resistance (β) to the alloys without cryogenic treatment. When the bulk hardness and wear resistance (β) reach the maximum, there is still about 13% retained austenite in alloys. Cryogenic treatment cannot make retained austenite transform to martensite completely.     

Sliding wear response of a grey cast iron: Effects of some experimental parameters

This investigation pertains to the influence of some test parameters like applied load, sliding speed and test environment on the sliding wear behaviour of a grey cast iron. Properties studied were wear rate, frictional heating and friction coefficient in dry and oil lubricated conditions. The wear response of the samples has been discussed in terms of specific characteristics like load bearing, lubricating and cracking tendency of different microconstituents of the cast iron. Examination of wear surfaces, subsurface regions and debris particles has also been carried out to understand the operating wear mechanisms and further substantiate the observed response of the samples.     

The influence of surface oxidation on the wear resistance of cast iron

This paper reports a study of the influence of surface oxidation on the wear resistance of ductile iron, grey iron and vermicular iron during dry sliding friction. The mechanisms of wear are also reported. This study shows that the effect of surface oxidation (formed under normal atmospheric conditions) on the wear rate depends on the complex functions of graphite morphology and matrix structure. Generally the presence of surface oxidation decreases the wear rate of grey iron but increases the wear rate of ductile iron and vermicular iron when the cast iron has high hardness. This trend is reversed for low hardness cast iron.     

Abrasion resistance of high Cr cast irons at an elevated temperature

A novel wear tester was employed to investigate the comparative abrasive stability of metallic materials at elevated temperatures. This tester consists of a symmetric π-shaped specimen holder that is rotated in a stainless steel tank filled with quartz sand, and an electrical furnace surrounds this tank to heat the abrasive sand. The test material and its comparative, of a size of 20 mm×20 mm×5 mm, were set in the respective branches of the holder. During the atmospheric condition experiment, only one 20 mm×20 mm face of each specimen was suffered with abrasion, while the other faces which were mounted in the holder were oxidized. Then the volume loss of the specimens can be accurately calculated with the aid of additional oxidation experiments, and by choosing the same comparative material the abrasive stability of different materials can be compared. A newly developed high Cr cast iron 4.5C–40Cr–8Ni–9Nb–5Mo was employed as the test alloy, while the comparative was the widely used 25Cr cast iron (Fe–25Cr–2.9C–0.5Ni–0.5Mo). The results show that, at the temperature of 925 K, the test alloy exhibited a superior abrasive stability to the 25Cr alloy; the average wear rate of the former was only about 36% of that of the latter.     

Mechanism of ploughing wear of martensite nodular cast iron

The mechanism of ploughing wear of martensite nodular cast iron has been investigated by means of elastic contact theory, stress interferometry, and scanning electron microscopy. Stress distributions in the contact area are plotted through numerical quadrature. The results show that the formation of cracks is between 0.2a and 0.5a (a is the radius of the contact curve). The driving force to produce crack extension along the Y axis is τ_yzmax and the extension direction is 45° to the horizontal. The driving force to produce crack extension along the X axis is either τ_x or τ_xzmax and the direction of crack extension is 37° to the horizontal.

Tempering temperature effects on abrasive wear of mottled cast iron

The effects of different tempering temperatures (300–600 °C) on abrasive wear resistance of mottled cast iron were studied. Abrasive wear tests were carried out using the rubber-wheel test on quartz sand and the pin test on Al₂O₃ abrasive cloths. The retained austenite content of the matrix was determined by X-ray diffraction. The wear surface of the specimens was examined by scanning electron microscopy for identifying the wear micromechanism. Bulk hardness and matrix hardness before and after the tests were measured. The results showed that in the two-body (pin-on-disc test) system, the main wear mechanism was microcutting and high matrix hardening was presented. The wear rates presented higher correlation with the retained austenite than with the bulk and matrix hardness. In the three-body system (sand–rubber wheel), the wear surfaces presented indentations due to abrasive rolling. The wear rates had better correlation with both the bulk and matrix hardness (before and after the wear test) than with the retained austenite content. There are two groups of results, high and low wear rates corresponding to each tribosystem, two-body abrasive wear and three-body abrasive wear, respectively.     

Solidification and abrasion wear of white cast irons alloyed with 20% carbide forming elements

Three different white cast irons with compositions of Fe–3%C–10%Cr–5%Mo–5%W (alloy no. 1), Fe–3%C–10%V–5%Mo–5%W (alloy no. 2) and Fe–3.5%C–17%Cr–3%V (alloy no. 3) were prepared in order to study their solidification and abrasion wear behaviors. Melts were super-heated to 1873 K in a high frequency induction furnace, and poured at 1823 K into Y-block pepset molds. The solidification sequence of these alloys was investigated. The solidification structures of the specimens were found to consist of austenite dendrite (γ); (γ+M₇C₃) eutectic and (γ+M₆C) eutectic in the alloy no. 1; proeutectic MC; austenite dendrite (γ); (γ+MC) eutectic and (γ+M₂C) eutectic in the alloy no. 2, and proeutectic M₇C₃ and (γ+M₇C₃) eutectic in the alloy no. 3, respectively.

A scratching type abrasion test was carried out in the states of as-cast (AS), homogenized (AH), air-hardened (AHF) and tempered (AHFT) using the abrasive paper with 120 mesh SiC and 10 N application load. In all the specimens, the abrasion wear loss was found to decrease in the order of AH, AS, AHFT and AHF states. Abrasion wear loss was lowest in the specimen no. 2 and highest in the specimen no. 1 except for the as-cast and homogenized states in which the specimen no. 3 showed the highest abrasion wear loss. The lowest abrasion wear loss of the specimen no. 2 could be attributed to the fact that it contained proeutectic MC carbide, eutectic MC and M₂C carbides having extremely high hardness. The matrix of each specimen was fully pearlitic in the as-cast state but it was transformed by heat-treatments to martensite, tempered martensite and austenite. From these results, it becomes clear that MC carbide is a significant phase to improve the abrasion wear resistance of white cast iron.

Effect of phosphide and matrix microstructures on the dry sliding wear of grey cast iron

The effect of a continuous phosphide network in matrices of pearlite, ferrite, martensite, and tempered martensite has been investigated on the dry wear of a grey iron, sliding at a speed of 1.5 m s⁻¹ with stresses of 0.5 and 2.0 MPa against cast iron. A running-in period was observed with a 0.2% P iron, whereas no running-in was observed with the 1.0% P irons. The presence of a continuous phosphide network reduced the wear rate of the pearlite iron by a factor of 0.25. In the weaker matrices (pearlite, ferrite, and tempered martensite) the phosphide network stiffened the matrix, fractured, and formed a particulate composite of phosphide in the deformed surface which resisted deformation. The wear rates and wear mechanisms of the irons are presented and discussed.     

The unlubricated wear of flake graphite cast iron

The wear behaviour of flake graphite cast iron was correlated with the microstructural parameters of graphite volume fraction and flake size using a pin-on-ring specimen configuration. Pin specimens of cast iron were prepared under carefully controlled melting and casting conditions to provide microstructures with variation in either carbon content or flake size but with the same type A graphite structure and pearlitic matrix.Mild and severe modes of equilibrium wear were identified, the predominant effect of both microstructural parameters being in the severe wear regime. Decrease in flake size and increase in carbon content are detrimental to the wear behaviour resulting in a marked increase in the severe wear rate and a decrease in the mild-to-severe transition load.     

Development and characterization of a wear resistant bainite/martensite ductile iron by combination of alloying and a controlled cooling heat-treatment

In this paper, a bainite/martensite (B/M) dual-phase ductile iron was fabricated by combining alloying and a controlled cooling heat-treatment. The microstructure, the mechanical properties and the wear performance were investigated and discussed. The ductile iron containing 3.2–3.8 wt.% carbon was alloyed with 2.5–3.0 wt.% manganese and 2.5–3.0 wt.% silicon. In general, manganese is no more than 0.7 wt.% and silicon <2.5 wt.% in commercial grade lower-bainite ductile irons. So, manganese contained in the ductile iron in this work is several times higher, and silicon slightly higher. In order to control the phase transition in the ductile iron during the heat-treatment, its continuous cooling transformation (CCT) curve was determined. The controlled cooling heat-treatment process was determined according to the CCT curve, which included three stages. The first stage was water quenching of the sample rapidly from the austenization temperature to a temperature below 350°C in a few minutes. The second stage was heat preservation of the sample from the spraying end temperature to 200°C in 2 h. The last stage was air cooling of the sample from 200°C to RT. According to the analysis using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the X-ray diffraction (XRD), the matrix of the ductile iron had a microstructure of bainite, martensite and a little retained austenite. The hardness and impact toughness of the heat-treated ductile iron were HRC 51.5 and 21.7 J/cm², respectively. The high values of the hardness and toughness were attributed to (1) the refined structure, (2) the presence of B/M dual-phase and (3) the presence of retained austenite. The impact abrasive wear resistance of the B/M ductile iron was observed to be comparable with that of a high chrome cast iron, and twice that of Mn13 steel.
