Conclusions
-
1.
20Kh steel with a martensitic structure has a higher resistance to wear than the same steel with a structure resulting from tempering.
-
2.
The wear resistance of case hardened and quenched 20Kh steel decreases by about 1.2% when the amount of residual austenite increases by 1%.
-
3.
For machine parts made of chromium-molybdenum cast iron operated in an abrasive medium the austenitic structure with uniformly distributed special carbides is the most favorable structure.
