Abstract

The experimental study of the resistance to adhesive wear of low-alloy steel through friction tests is presented. The steel was manufactured in an induction furnace from AISI-1018 steel with additions of FeMn and FeSi. Subsequently, it was hot rolled and heat treated to obtain the microstructure of a Transformation-induced Plasticity (TRIP) steel with σu = 890 MPa, S = 30.75%, and hardness of 22 HRC. Friction tests were carried out according to the ASTM G-77 standard with three different loads (52.6, 103.5, and 154.4 N), and the friction coefficients and wear mechanisms were determined. The results show that, by increasing the load, the coefficient of friction decreases by 47%, this reduction could be associated with a martensitic transformation induced by plasticity on the surface. The wear mechanisms observed for the three loads were adhesion with accumulated and oxidative material flow and the fatigue mechanism only occurred for the 154-N load.
