Abstract

Experimental steels, a direct-quenched and partitioned (DQP) steel and a carbide-free bainitic steel (CFB), were tested along with a commercial martensitic 500 HB grade wear resistant steel in high-stress abrasive conditions. The three steels had different microstructures consisting of varying fractions and morphologies of martensite, retained austenite, and bainitic ferrite. The results showed that the CFB steel had a lower mass loss compared to the martensitic 500 HB steel with a similar hardness level. The DQP steel had a higher initial hardness and outperformed the other two steels. Wear surface characterization revealed that the investigated steels had significant work hardening of the wear surface, except with different mechanisms. Transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) increased the hardness of the DQP and CFB steels, while the fully martensitic 500 HB had more white layer formation on the wear surface resulting in increased hardness.
