The Effect of Niobium on Wear and Friction Characteristics of High Speed Steel by Powder Metallurgy
분말고속도공구강의 마찰마모특성에 미치는 Nb의 영향
Abstract
In order to evaluate the effect of Nb on wear properties of high speed steel by powder metallurgy(PM-HSS), niobium-alloyed PM-HSS have been prepared by adding 0%, 1%, 3% and 5%Nb to PM-HSS of 6%W-5%Mo-4%Cr-5%V-5%Co presented in the previous paper. Sliding wear test have been conducted in various sliding speed conditions under the constant pressure using a pin-on-disc type machine. The results of this study shows that the wear resistance of PM-HSS has been increased by the addition of Nb in the range of experimental sliding speed. However, the amount of Nb shows to be unimportant parameter for the improvement of the wear resistance. It may be due to the thermal stability of carbide and high temperature properties of matrix by adding Nb comparing to the case of no addition.
