Impact Sliding Wear Behavior of Pearlitic/Ferritic and Pearlitic Ductile Cast Iron

Abstract

The working elements of combustion engines are the most common locations where impact-sliding wear issues begin to manifest. The impact-slide test technique makes it possible to investigate the effects of sliding contacts as well as cyclic impacts throughout the testing process. This research examined the impact-sliding wear test on unalloyed EN-GJS-500-7 quality pearlitic/ferritic ductile iron, as well as EN-GJS-500-7 quality pearlitic ductile iron alloyed with 0.8% Mn and 0.8% Cu by weight. The impact-sliding wear loss of the unalloyed EN-GJS-500-7 quality pearlitic/ferritic ductile iron was comparatively greater than that of the EN-GJS-500-7 quality pearlitic ductile iron alloyed with 0.8% Mn and 0.8% Cu by weight at room temperature, as determined by microstructural analysis and impact-sliding wear tests.
