Overview

Randomized trial evaluates abrasive wear resistance in a martensitic alloy, suggesting improved durability with specific carbides.

Key Points

  • The aim is to analyze the microstructure and abrasive wear resistance of a martensitic Fe-C alloy with vanadium and tungsten carbides.
  • Alloys were cast with varying carbon, vanadium, and tungsten content.
  • Hardness was measured before and after quenching at 880°C.
  • Microstructural analysis was performed to identify carbide presence.
  • The alloy with 3.9 wt% C and 17.9 wt% V achieved a hardness of 950 HV post-quenching.
  • Resistance to abrasive wear was significantly improved, with weight loss two times lower than reference GX70CrMnSiNiMo2 steel.
  • The microstructure featured martensitic characteristics with M2C and complex (V,W)xCy carbides.
