Abstract

The carbo-austempered steels, with CFB (Carbide-Free Bainite) structure in the layer, are established as an interesting alternative for the substitution of conventional steels thermally treated by cementation, especially in applications that demand high stability and reliability against wear phenomena. From this, in the present work we evaluated the mechanisms of wear suffered by cast steel of chemical composition: 0.30C-1.87Si-0.55Mn-0.92Cr (wt. %), subjected to carbo-austempered heat treatment, the carburized surface was up to 0.7%C and then, it treated isothermally 250 °C and 300 °C with times of 480 and 240 minutes respectively. Were tests carried out in a twin-disc machine, in which variables such as: number of cycles, sliding percentage, lubrication, surface finish and linear speed are controlled. In order to analyze the failure mechanisms, the calculation of the wear rates (ASTMG98-17 standard) and the microstructural analysis of the wear tracks were carried out by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the worn surface layers are formed by nanometric structures, which resulted in a greater resistance to wear of these materials, in which mechanisms of abrasion and fatigue were identified mainly. Furthermore, wear rates decreased proportionally to the temperature of the isothermal treatment.
