Sliding Wear Behavior of a Grey Cast Iron Surface Remelted by TIG

Abstract

Abstract:

The sliding wear behavior of a grey cast iron surface remelted by tungsten inert gas (TIG) was studied and compared with the unremelted one in the current work. To evaluate the wear behavior a Pin-on-Disk wear test machine was used. Pins which were prepared from the samples with the remelted layers of different thicknesses
of 1.2, 1.8, 2.5 and 3 mm were worn on an AISID3 steel counterface having a hardness of 63HRC under the applied loads of 54, 76 and 99 N at a constant sliding velocity of 0.45 m/s. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to characterize worn surface and subsurface and also wear debris obtained from the wear tests under different test conditions. Results showed that surface remelted grey cast iron have better wear properties for all applied normal loads in comparison with unremelted ones. Microscopic studies on the worn surfaces and subsurfaces of samples revealed that dominant wear mechanism for surface remelted samples was mild oxidative, while it was severe for unremelted samples. Increasing remelted layer thickness and then forming grosser microstructure lead to a decline of wear properties, whereas lower thickness of remelted layer with finer microstructure due to having higher cooling rate through remelting process can withstand better against wear.

Key words: Grey cast Iron, Surface remelted, Tungsten inert gas (TIG), Wear
