Wear resistance and fatigue deformation of the ausformed 9%W-2.5%Cr tool steel (SKD 5) were studied, and the results obtained were compared with those of the same steel heat-treated conventionally. The wear test was carried out by using both the Ogoshi’s rapid wear testing machine and the modified Suzuki’s wear testing machine, and the fatigue deformation test was done by the repeating deflection testing machine manufactured for trial. The results obtained are as follows:
(1) The wear-loss vs. sliding-speed curves of the ausformed and the conventional steel, obtained by the Ogoshi’s testing machine, explain when load is kept constant, the wear loss is maximum at a certain sliding speed and then decreases gradually and reaches minimum, and again increases rapidly with increase in the sliding speed. And the sliding speed at which the wear loss is maximum moves to the lower range of speed with increase in load.
(2) According to the results obtained by the Ogoshi’s testing machine, when the contact pressure is 0.8∼2.7 kg/mm
2, there is no difference for the wear loss between the ausformed steel and the conventionally heat-treated steel, but 2.3∼5.8 kg/mm
2, the wear loss of the ausformed steel is less than that of the steel conventionally heat-treated.
(3) But according to the results obtained by the Suzuki’s testing machine, even when the contact pressure is 0.2∼0.3 kg/mm
2, the wear loss of the ausformed steel is less than that of the conventional steel.
(4) The amount of initial deformation of the ausformed steel is less than that of the conventionally heat-treated steel. The maximum skin bending stress on the cantilever which makes the amount of permanent deflection at the free end of the 50 mm cantilever 0.05 mm is defined as Kb (kg/mm
2) in this report. And Kb of the ausformed steel is larger than that of the conventional steel.
(5) The initial deformation decreases and Kb increases with increase in the degree of deformation at ausforming, respectively.
(6) By tempering the ausformed steel at 400°∼500°C, Kb is improved considerably, and the effect of improvement is evident on the steel ausformed more than 40% reduction.
