Influence of Cutting Speed in Turning and Force in Subsequent Diamond Smoothing on Magnetic Properties of Steel 100Cr6
Magnetic properties are known to be crucial in the application of electrical steel and they
are therefore covered by manifold studies. Other ferromagnetic materials are out of scope in this
respect, even if the importance of magnetism of conventional steel is evident. Additionally, there
is a contradiction regarding the major influence on magnetic properties. Machining, transport, and
storage are possible influencing variables. In the experimental investigations, specimens consisting
of the bearing steel 100Cr6 are machined by turning and partly by subsequent diamond smoothing.
While machining using several cutting speeds and smoothing forces, the thermoelectrical voltage,
current, and the components of the resultant force are recorded. The results show how the nearsurface plastic deformations evolve throughout the machining process. Additionally, it was found
that the magnetic properties and other properties of the surface layer are influenced in different
ways depending on turning and diamond smoothing parameters. Correlations between in situ
and ex situ measured values are shown. This study aims to solve the aforementioned question by
quantification of machining impacts of cutting speed in turning and force in diamond smoothing
and its dependence on transport and storage
Enhanced Abrasion Resistance of Spark Plasma Sintered and HVOF Sprayed Hadfield High Manganese Steel by Turning and Diamond Smoothing
Austenitic high-manganese steels (HMnS) offer very high wear resistance under dynamic loading due to their high work hardening capacity. However, resistance to static abrasive loading is limited. Various approaches to increasing abrasion resistance are known from traditionally manufactured metallurgical components. These confirm the high potential for surface protection applications. In this work, the powder of the Hadfield HMnS X120Mn12 is prepared and processed by high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying and spark-plasma sintering (SPS). A good correlation was observed between the results of the HVOF and SPS specimen. Different surface conditions of the coatings and the sintered specimens were prepared by machining. Compared to the polished state, turning and diamond smoothing can increase the surface hardness from 220 HV to over 700 HV significantly. Regardless of the surface finish condition, similar good wear resistance can be demonstrated due to strong work hardening under sliding and reciprocating wear loading. In contrast, the finish machining process clearly influences abrasion resistance in the scratch test with the best results for the diamond smoothed condition. Especially against the background of current trends toward alternative coating systems, the presented results offer a promising approach for the development of HMnS in the field of coating technology
High-Speed Laser Metal Deposition of CrFeCoNi and AlCrFeCoNi HEA Coatings with Narrow Intermixing Zone and their Machining by Turning and Diamond Smoothing
The processing of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) via laser metal deposition (LMD) is well known. However, it is still difficult to avoid chemical intermixing of the elements between the coating and the substrate. Therefore, the produced coatings do not have the same chemical composition as the HEA feedstock material. Single-layer CrFeCoNi and AlCrFeCoNi HEA coatings were deposited using high-speed laser metal deposition (HS-LMD). Elemental mapping confirmed a good agreement with the chemical composition of the powder feedstock material, and revealed that chemical intermixing was confined to the immediate substrate interface. The coatings are characterized by a homogeneous structure with good substrate bonding. The machining of these coatings via turning is possible. Subsequent diamond smoothing results in a strong decrease in the surface roughness. This study presents a complete manufacturing chain for the production of high-quality HS-LMD HEA coatings
