ABRASION UNDER HUMIDE CONDITION FOR TOOL STEELS H-13 AND AISI D-2

摘要

In the present work, is developed the tribologic characterization of steels AISI H-13 and D-2, submitted to nitruration ionic process to determine wear resistance in aqueous conditions. Wear test are realized with an abrasion wear tool in an aqueous environment, designed and constructed by SEPI, ESIME, IPN, according to the norm ASTM G105-89. The aim of this investigation is to use a new material at lower prize which has an excellent wear resistance properties for high abrasion in aqueous environments, as occurs in several cases as mining industry equipments.
