Tribology at high temperatures – A challenge

  • Need of applications working under harsh

conditions

  • Limited use of conventional lubrication methods

  • Boron

steel is increasingly used in many applications such as structural components in the automotive industry

  • These parts are processed through hot metal

forming operations

  • Toolox 44 is often chosen as tool material in view of

its good mechanical properties even at elevated temperatures

Significance of the materials investigated

Objectives

  • To understand wear mechanisms of tool steel-

boron steel pairs at different temperatures

  • To develop a simplified high-temperature wear

map for that material pair

Average CoF at the steady state region

  • For a given load, the CoF decreases as the temperature is

increased

  • In general, for a given temperature, the CoF decreases as

the load is increased

Conclusions

  • The frictional behaviour is both, load and temperature
  • dependant. In general the friction coefficient decreases

as both, temperature and load are increased

  • Above 100 °C, development of wear protective layers
  • n the boron steel pin surface was observed
  • An increase in load resulted in breaking-up of the layers

thus increasing the wear rate

  • The formation of stable protective wear layers on the tool

steel surface was noticed at temperatures above 200°C.
