Abstract

Stainless steel samples were tested in the laboratory and under real conditions of tribocorrosion wear. Electrochemical tests were also carried out to verify the corrosion resistance of modified steel surfaces. Metallographic analysis and hardness testing were conducted on stainless steel samples X20Cr13 and X17CrNi16 2. The possibilities of applications of modified surfaces of the selected steels were investigated by testing the samples under real wear conditions. The results have shown that the induction hardened and subsequently nitrided martensitic steels achieved an average wear resistance of up to three orders of magnitude higher as compared to the delivered condition.

Kurzfassung

In der diesem Beitrag zugrunde liegenden Studie wurden Laborversuche und Tests unter realen Verschleißbedingungen mit Proben aus hochlegierten Stählen durchgeführt. Es wurden außerdem elektrochemische Tests ausgeführt, um den Korrosionswiderstand der modifizierten Stahloberflächen zu untersuchen. Zudem wurden metallografische Analysen und Härtemessungen an den Proben aus den hochlegierten Stählen X20Cr13 und X17CrNi16 2 durchgeführt. Die Anwendung einer Oberflächenmodifikation wurde untersucht, indem die Proben realen Verschleißbedingungen ausgesetzt wurden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die induktionsgehärteten und nachfolgend nitrierten, hochlegierten, martensitischen Stähle einen Verschleißwiderstand erreichen, der um bis zu drei Größenordnungen höher im Vergleich zum Lieferzustand der Werkstoffe ist.
