On the comparison of the abrasive wear behavior of aluminum alloyed and standard Hadfield steels

The abrasive wear behaviors of aluminum alloyed Hadfield steel at the high and low stress wear conditions were studied and compared with non-Al alloyed Hadfield steel. The wear tests were done with the pin on disc method using the abrasive wheel. The main parameters such as alloy compositions, normal load, sliding speed and sliding distance were evaluated. It is shown that at the low stress condition, the aluminum alloyed Hadfield steel has higher wear resistance than the non-Al alloyed Hadfield steel. But at the high stress wear conditions, the non-Al alloyed Hadfield steel is more resistant than the Al alloyed.
