Abstract

New results about the influence of a small iron borided layer (~ 36 µm) obtained by the powder-pack boriding process (PPBP) and diffusion annealing post-process (DAP) were evaluated. Dry sliding wear tests on PPBP, PPBP + DAP and untreated AISI 1018 steel were performed under the pin-on-disc configuration, and balls of Al2O3 and WC were used as a counterpart at different sliding distances. Also, the contact pressures of the layer/substrate system were evaluated using the finite element model with the aid of the ABAQUS software. The results showed that the Al2O3 ball presented the major coupling (ball-disc), and the PPBP + DAP reduces the specific wear rate around ~ 304 times related to the untreated AISI 1018 steel to 500 m under severe sliding conditions.
