Improving the wear resistance of hard-alloy rolling disks by pulsed-plasma treatment

Steel in Translation Aims and scope

Abstract

Pulsed-plasma surface treatment of VK20 hard-alloy (WC + 20% Co) components changes the crystallite size by 10–20% and enriches the binding metal Co with complex carbides of type W6Co6C and W3Co3C and nonequilibrium carbides of composition W2C, WC1-x, and W6C2.54. The internal stress (compression) reaches 800 N/mm2. Industrial tests show that pulsed-plasma treatment increases the wear resistance of the working surface of VK 20 hard-alloy (WC + 20% Co) rollers (rolling disks) by a factor of 2–4.
