Conclusions
-
1.
The increase in the wear of steel 40Kh subjected to different heat treatments during friction in vacuum at 20 and −190° at given sliding speeds is associated with decreasing plasticity of the original structure.
-
2.
The plasticity of the structure affects the wear resistance to the extent the structure is capable of forming and retaining a hard white layer on the friction surface.
