Effect of Heat Treatment on the Wear Resistance of High-Carbon and High-Nitrogen Steels Subjected to Abrasive Wear

摘要

The effect of quenching and tempering on the capacity of steels based on chromium-carbon, chromium-nitrogen, and carbon-manganese austenite for strain-induced martensitic transformation, hardening, and wear resistance in the process of abrasive wear is studied. The steels contain 1 - 1.2 percent C or N and 18 percent Cr or Mn. The wear resistance of the studied steels having a structure of metastable austenite is compared to that of steel 110G13.
