Improvement of 16MnCr5 Steel Wear Resistance by Deformation
AbstractThis study, in order to determine the effect of plastic deformation on the wear resistance are performed. The deformation of the 16MnCr5 steel was performed after annealing by tensile testing device with varying amounts. The changes in hardness was measured by Vickers hardness tester and the wear behavior was analysed by pin on disc test. Tests and measurements showed that when the amount of plastic deformation increased, wear resistance and hardness increased. And also, it is seen that the heat treatment applied at a temperature similar to the carburizing, significantly reduces the mechanical properties.
