Research on the Wear Evolution Behavior of 20CrMnTi Alloy Steel under Different Loading Conditions

Abstract

Abstract 20CrMnTi alloy steel has excellent surface hardness and good wear resistance, making it widely used in the preparation of key components of various high-speed and high-load gearboxes, such as gear, rack, and bearing. However, the existence of friction and wear behavior in service leads to various damage behaviors, which seriously affects its service stability and effective life. Based on experimental research and numerical simulation technology, this study reveals the damage evolution law of 20CrMnTi low carbon alloy steel under different wear load conditions. It is shown that the increase of wear load and time duration will obviously lead to the increase of contact stress and deformation of the material surface, and eventually lead to an increase in wear degree. The research findings provide experimental support and theoretical guidance for effectively predicting the damage law in actual service.
