This article describes the wear characterizations of high-speed steel composed of vanadium carbide and high-chromium cast iron composed of chromium carbide. These metals were studied under rolling–sliding conditions with a sliding ratio of 10% using a self-made ring–ring wear testing machine. The fine microstructure of carbides and failure behaviors were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution electron microscopy. The results showed that carbide significantly affected the wear properties and failure behaviors of metals. The relative wear resistance of high-speed steel reinforced by vanadium carbides was twice that of high chromium cast iron composed of chromium carbides. Chromium carbide was characterized by a stacking fault substructure, and slips occurred in chromium carbide under high-stress contact, resulting in crack formation. Vanadium carbide was reinforced and pinned by large amounts of nanoparticles, which prevented its dislocation under high-stress rolling–sliding conditions, thereby effectively resisting crack initiation. Furthermore, the (200) lattice plane of vanadium carbide is coherent with the (111) lattice plane of austenite, preventing cracks from forming at the interface of the vanadium–carbide matrix. The morphology and hardness of vanadium carbide also contributed to the excellent wear property of high-speed steel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
