Effect of Electrolytic-Plasma Surface Treatment on Structure, Mechanical, and Tribological Properties of Grade 1 Wheel Steel

摘要

Results are given for electrolytic-plasma treatment of grade 1 wheel steel. Regime, input, and output parameters of the plasma treatment production system are determined. A modified layer with increased hardness and wear resistance is obtained as a result of electrolytic-plasma treatment. Results of microhardness measurements are obtained, and the microstructure is studied before and after electrolyticplasma treatment.
