Abstract
In this study, several heat treatments were applied to DIN 100Cr6 steel to obtain different matrices. In the first stage of the study, solution annealing treatment was applied to the steel and cooling was carried out in various media (furnace, oil, and salt bath). In order to eliminate the stresses after transformation from austenization, a low temperature tempering treatment was applied to the quenched samples. All heat treated samples were examined using light microscopy after metallographic preparations. In the second step, ‘ball-on-disc’ type tribometer was used to determine the friction coefficient of the steels depending on the matrix phase. Weight loss was recorded and the friction coefficient versus distance was plotted for each steel. Worn surfaces of the steels were examined using scanning electron microscopy to characterize the wear mechanisms. It turned out that (i) pearlitic, bainitic and martensitic matrices could be obtained depending on the cooling medium, (ii) martensitic matrix had higher wear resistance based on its weight loss, (iii) abrasive and adhesive wear tracks were present on the worn surfaces of the steels.
Abstract
In der diesem Beitrag zugrunde liegenden Studie wurde DIN Stahl 100Cr6 verschiedenen Wärmebehandlungen unterzogen, um unterschiedliche Gefüge einzustellen. Im ersten Stadium der Studie wurde der Stahl lösungsgeglüht und in verschiedenen Medien (Ofen, Ölbad und Salzbad) abgekühlt. Um die Spannungen nach der Transformation der Austentisierung zu elemnieren, wurde eine niedrige Anlasstemperatur für die abgeschreckten Proben gewählt. Alle wärmebehandelten Proben wurden mittels Lichtmikroskopie nach metallographischer Präparation untersucht. Im zweiten Schritt wurde ein Ball-auf-Scheibe-Tribometer eingesetzt, um den Reibkoeffizient der Stähle abhängig von den Phasen im Gefüge zu bestimmen. Der Gewichtsverlust wurde aufgezeichnet und der Reibkoeffizient versus dem Abstand wurde für jeden Stahl aufgetragen. Die verschlissenen Oberflächen wurden mit Rasterelektronenmikroskopie untersucht, um die jeweiligen Verschleißmechanismen zu charakterisieren. Es zeigte sich, dass (i) perlitische, bainitische und martensitische Gefüge abhängig vom Kühlmedium erhalten werden können, (ii) ein martensitisches Gefüge basierend auf dem Gewichtsverlust einen höheren Verschleißwiderstand aufweist und (iii) abrasive und adhäsive Verschleißspuren auf den verschlissenen Oberflächen der Stahlproben auftreten.
