Vpliv podhlajevanja na lomno žilavost martenzitnega nerjavečega jekla AISI 420

Cryogenic treatments have been employed over the last three decades in both tool and high-alloy steels to improve wear resistance, mainly through the transformation of retained austenite and the precipitation of fine carbides. The application of these treatments to low-alloy steels and even to non-ferrous materials is becoming the subject of several investigations, due to their potentiality to reduce wear.The objective of the present work is to characterize the wear behavior of a cryogenically treated low-carbon AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel, by means of pin-on-disk tribological tests. Wear tests were performed according to ASTM G99 standard, under a range of applied normal loads and in two different environments, namely a vaseline bath and an argon atmosphere. Wear tracks were analyzed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to evaluate wear volume, track geometry, surface features and the tribolayers generated after testing.In this study, it has been experimentally demonstrated that cryogenically treated specimens showed a wear resistance improvement ranging from 35 to 90% compared to conventionally treated ones.Obdelava s podhlajevanjem v zadnjih treh desetletjih, tako za orodja kot za visokolegirana jekla, pomeni izboljsanje njihove odpornosti proti obrabi, predvsem zaradi preoblikovanja zadrzanega avstenita in zgoscevanja finih delcev. Kakorkoli ze, izbolj{anje enega materiala je pogosto, vendar na racun drugega, zato je zanimivo oceniti ucinek takega tipa obdelave na lomno zilavost. Predmet pricujocega dela je bila dolocitev lomne zilavosti kriogensko obdelanega nizkoogljikovega martenzitnega nerjavecega jekla AISI 420, s pomocjo standardiziranih testov zlomov, izvedenih v skladu s standardoma ASTM E399 in ASTM E1820. V studiji je bilo s poizkusi dokazano, da so kriogensko obdelani vzorci pokazali hkratno povecanje KCI in trdote za 30 % in 5 %, v primerjavi s konvencionalno obdelanimi vzorci.Fil: Prieto, Germán.

Influence of cryogenic treatments on the electrochemical behavior of two martensitic stainless steels

Cryogenic treatment is a useful method for improving the mechanical and tribological properties of a wide range of materials, especially steels. However, results regarding the effect of this treatment on the corrosion resistance are scarce, particularly in the case of martensitic stainless steels. In this research, the influence of cryogenic treatments on the properties of two different martensitic stainless steels, namely AISI 420 and AISI 440C, is investigated. Their microstructures are studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction and correlated with their corrosion resistance. The electrochemical beha vior of the steels is studied by measuring open-circuit potential and under experiments using cyclic anodic potentiodynamic polarization. It is found that the cryogenic treatment does not affect the pitting resistance of AISI 420 steel, but it significantly reduces the ability of AISI 440C to achieve passivation.Криогеннуа обробкуа використовують для підвищення механічних та трибологічних характеристик широкого класу матеріалів, зокрема сталей.

Influence of roughness on the tribological behavior of a steel- steel couple lubricated with thread compound

The purpose of this study is to determinate the influence of surface roughness on the tribological behavior of a lubricated steel against steel tribosystem. Tests were carried out at high pressure and slow sliding speed, in order to simulate at small scale, the contact conditions found in the seal of the threaded joints used in oil & gas casing and tubing strings. Tests were carried out with a simplified block-onring test, varying the surface roughness of rings between 1.3 to 3 m Ra values. A thread compound lubricant containing lead, copper, zinc and graphite was used. During each cycle of test, the normal load was varied linearly between 250 N and 7000 N. An exponential correlation between Ra and Rt roughness values with the wear damage was found and the wear damage of the blocks decreases about 40 percent with the increasing of initial Ra roughness parameter in the movil surface.Fil: Zabala, Nicolás Ariel.

Tribological properties of tin and bronze coatings electrodeposited from acid baths

Electrodeposited copper, tin and bronze are widely used as protective and decorative coatings due to their good corrosion resistance and appearance. However, there are some applications in which these properties are not enough and a low coefficient of friction is required. It is known that tin has a good lubricity and that this property depends on the morphology of the deposit. Furthermore some authors have reported the use of electroplated bronze as a lubricating coating in the oil industry. The bath commonly used for the electrodeposition of this alloy is a cyanide-based electrolyte which produces high quality deposits but has several environmental problems during use and disposal owing to its high toxicity. Many cyanide free baths have been developed, either acid or alkaline, but too little information about the performance of the resulting deposits have been reported. The aim of this work is to develop an acidic noncyanide electrolyte for the electrodeposition of high quality bronze coatings and evaluate their tribological behavior.Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo en Tecnología de Pintura

Morphological and tribological analysis of synthetic and commercial sulfures

Lubrication reduces friction between two surfaces that slide over each other and prevents weldingunder high load conditions. Many lubricant bases enhance their applications by the addition ofadditives. Among them, extreme pressure (EP) additives provide properties that can withstand highload conditions, high temperature and high sliding speeds because they provide a low friction or wearinterface to make contact between the metal parts more efficient [1]. The addition of additives enhanceslubricants applications by providing specific properties suitable for enduring conditions.In this work, the morphology and tribological behavior of bismuth sulfides (Bi2S3) and molybdenumsulfides (MoS2) nanoparticles obtained by solvotermal synthesis and those used in commercialadditives were compared.Fil: Müller, Camila.

Tin Coatings Electrodeposited from Sulfonic Acid-Based Electrolytes : Tribological Behavior

A high efficiency methane sulfonic acid electrolyte used for tin electrodeposition was studied, and the properties of the resulting deposits were compared to those of tin coatings obtained from an industrial phenol sulfonic acid electrolyte. Cyclic voltammetry was used to study the effect of organic additives on the reduction process to define the composition of the electrolytic bath. Thick tin electrodeposits were obtained on rotating cylinder steel electrodes, and their surface morphology, preferred crystal orientation, surface roughness, micro hardness, and tribological behavior were measured. Smooth, adherent, and bright tin coatings were obtained from the methane sulfonic acid electrolyte, which differed in morphology and texture from tin electrodeposited from the industrial bath. Influence of organic additives on preferred crystal orientation of the coatings was found to be stronger than changing the supporting sulfonic acid type. Tribological tests showed that the two types of deposits have a similar coefficient of friction. However, tin coatings obtained from methane sulfonic electrolytes presented a lower wear resistance and underwent galling at lower loads.Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo en Tecnología de Pintura

Bronze electrodeposition from an acidic non-cyanide high efficiency electrolyte: tribological behavior

Bronze coatings were electrodeposited onto a rotating cylinder electrode from a novel non-cyanide acid plating bath with high efficiency (92%). Deposits were obtained from a phenol sulfonic acid bath and their morphology, phase composition and tribological behavior were characterized. Cyclic and linear sweep voltammetries were used to study the effect of organic additives on the reduction processes to achieve an adequate formulation. The resulting bronze deposit consisted of a mono α-phase matrix with a 78% Cu and 22% Sn composition. Dry sliding wear tests were carried out employing a homemade ball on ring system and the coefficient of friction and wear resistance were quantified at different normal loads. Surface characterization of the bronze coatings showed that the resulting roughness is detrimental for the wear resistance of the deposit. This is evidenced by a higher friction coefficient and wear volume of Cu/Sn compared to a conventionally electrodeposited copper coating.Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo en Tecnología de Pintura
