Abstract
Bulk nanostructured and ultra-fine grained (UFG) steels obtained by severe plastic deformation are of great interest for structural applications because of their enhanced hardness, strength and adequate ductility. For such steels to find wider applications, study of their wear behavior is necessary. In the present work, mild steel (MS) was severely deformed by warm multiaxial forging (MAF) technique using up to nine MAF passes in order to obtain UFG microstructure. After nine MAF passes, the initial ferrite grains of average 17μm size reduced to about 0.5μm. Change in strain paths and a higher strain rate employed in MAF resulted in fragmentation and refinement of pearlitic cementite to less than 200nm size particles. The wear test results showed that strengthening of mild steel by warm MAF processing did not lead to any improvement in wear resistance. The results have been explained on the basis of its microstructural features and pull-off work.
