Abstract
The surface of Ti6Al4V alloy was rapidly carburized by high-frequency electromagnetic induction heating under vacuum. The microstructure and hardness of the carburized layer were studied. The wear properties of the carburized layer were tested at 50, 100 and 200 rpm using the end face friction and wear device, and the wear mechanism was analyzed. The results show that the TiC strengthening phase was formed on the surface of Ti6Al4V alloy after high-frequency induction carburization, and the surface grains were refined. The surface hardness reaches 1116 HV0.25, but the brittleness of the carburized layer increases with increasing temperature. The amount of wear was reduced by 54% at 100 rpm. The roughness of the wear scar was reduced from 3.26 μm to 2.28 μm of Ti6A14V alloy matrix. The coefficient of friction and wear rate increases with increasing speed. The wear mechanism was transformed from adhesive wear and oxidative wear of the substrate to abrasive wear after carburizing.
