Investigation of the Tribological Properties of Boronized Cementation Steel

In this study, plasma paste was boronized in different B2O3/SiC/B4C paste mixtures the tribological behaviors of Cementation steel under high load were investigated. Plasma paste boriding was carried out under vacuum at 10 mbar process pressure, using H2 and Ar gases for 5 hours at 700, 750 and 800C. The wear tests were carried out on Plint's "TE 53SLIM multi-purpose friction and wear tester" pin-on-ring system. The tests were carried out under a load of 70 N, at a constant sliding speed (approximately 0.3 m / s), at a distance of 500 m and at room temperature. Surface roughness, friction coefficient, wear trace depth, wear weight losses, wear rates were investigated after the abrasion tests. It has been found that the abrasion resistance of the Cementation steel sheet, which is plasma paste borided in different B2O3/SiC/B4C paste blends, differs in each paste mix
