Test procedure of cladded alloys for resistance against high temperature abrasive wear

Abstract

This article discusses the development of procedure and assembly for testing metals and alloys for abrasive wear at ambient and higher temperatures of up to 600°C. The procedure can be applied both to evaluate the operating properties of alloys used to clad of machine parts and tools of metallurgical and refractory purposes, and to test various metal and composite materials. The wear of alloys as a function of temperature, the pressure on specimen, and its shape, as well as of the composition and dispersity of abrasive mass have been determined. Hardness and wear resistance of some experimental and commercial alloys have been presented, and the influence of alloy doping and modifying on their wear resistance at higher temperatures has been established.
