| Summary: | The work aimed to develop surfaces that could resist wear at high temperatures, thus achieving
a prolonged component life. Surface modification of a low-alloy steel by incorporating TiC particles
has been undertaken by melting the surface using a tungsten inert gas torch. The dry sliding
wear behaviour at 600°C of the original and modified surfaces was compared. Microscopic examination
of both surfaces showed glazed layers across the wear tracks, with differing amounts of
oxide and homogeneity. Extensive wear occurred on the steel surface, which showed deformation
of the wear scar tracks and a steadily increased friction coefficient. The TiC addition reduced
the wear loss, coinciding with a glazed layer 33% thinner than that on the low-alloy steel sample. |
