Abstract
Surface alloying by scanning electron beams can improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of steel. In this study. Four electron energy densities were selected during the alloying process: E1 = 1.5J/cm2, E2 = 2.9J/cm2, E3 = 4.5J/cm2 and E4 = 5.9J/cm2. The obtained results show that the sample surface is composed of alloying zone and heat-affected zone. The microstructure of the alloy zone is concealed acicular martensite and molybdenum carbide particles. The microhardness of this area is 1250HV. The sample treated with an energy density of 5.9J/cm2 has the least amount of wear. After alloying treatment, the microhardness and wear amount of the scanned samples are significantly improved.
