Abstract
Abstract
Fatigue damage of the surface layers of metal is a characteristic cause of failure of rolling bearings, gears and a number of other machine parts operating under cyclically repeated contact loads. Resistivity to the development of contact damage of steels obtained by hot forging porous blanks is determined by the presence of cohesive bonds between the particles of the base powder, as well as by the presence of non-metallic inclusions and grain size. The possibility of increasing the contact endurance of hot-deformed powder steels due to micro-doping with calcium has been studied. Iron powders with various content of impurities, as well as atomized powder of low-alloyed chromium-molybdenum steel were used as the basis for preparation of the blends. Calcium was doped as calcium carbonate. Mixing was performed in a planetary centrifugal mill. Samples for mechanical testing were obtained by hot forging porous blanks. After hot forging the samples were carburized to compensate for the loss of carbon in the surface layer. It has been established that doping calcium microadditives is favourable for increasing the energy content of damage under the conditions of exposure to contact-fatigue and bending loads. This is due to a decrease in the size of austenite grains at the expense of inhibition of their growth during the adsorption of calcium at the grain boundaries. Microalloying with calcium changes the localization of seats of contact fatigue damage. In samples-witnesses without microadditives of calcium cracks originate near non-metallic inclusions of sharp-angled shape in the near-surface zone. In microalloyed specimens the cracks are located in the subsurface layer in the area of Hertz maximum shear stresses.
