Abrasive wear tests have been carried out on three steels and a number of pure metals using pin-on-drum instrument. Each steel was tested at several different hardness levels attained by varying the heat treatment while results show relationship between abrasion resistance hardness, this not linear found Kruschov others. Single point scratch experiments scanning electron microscopy were in an attempt to elucidate mechanisms these materials from model is suggested account for observed behavior.
The development of a laser cladding repair strategy is critical for the continued growth heavy-haul railway networks. Premium hypereutectoid rails have undergone using new martensitic stainless-steel alloy, 415SS, developed high carbon after standard metals were found to be incompatible. Non-destructive neutron diffraction techniques used measure residual stress in different layers generated across dissimilar metal joint during cladding. internal distribution cladding, heat-affected zone...
