Abstract

The wear resistance of steel 45 in oil-abrasive medium with surface nanocrystalline struc­ture formed by severe plastic deformation using energy of high-speed friction with addi­tional alloying with chrome and nickel from special technological media during mecha­nical-pulse treat­ment is studied. The increase of the wear resistance of steel due to surface alloying during mechanical pulse treatment comparing with the same treatment without surface alloying is shown. This is explained by the formation of the nanostructure with less grain size and higher microhardness, as well as the effect of alloying elements on the structure formation with lower electrochemical potentials, which are more favourable for secondary structures formation due to surface activation during wear resistance tests.
