Structural Characteristics and Sliding Friction Properties of 40CrNiMo Steel after Broadband Laser Hardening

The surface of 40CrNiMo steel, which is commonly used for the sprag clutch wedge, is prone to wear. In this study, hardening of the matrix material was conducted by broadband-laser scanning at various scanning speeds. The hardness distribution and structure evolution were analyzed along the vertical...

Structural Characteristics and Sliding Friction Properties of 40CrNiMo Steel after Broadband Laser Hardening
description The surface of 40CrNiMo steel, which is commonly used for the sprag clutch wedge, is prone to wear. In this study, hardening of the matrix material was conducted by broadband-laser scanning at various scanning speeds. The hardness distribution and structure evolution were analyzed along the vertical direction. Characteristics of the hardened layer were explored using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffractometry. The friction coefficient, wear amount, and wear morphology of sliding friction against GCr15 steel were investigated under various conditions. The results show that the depth of the hardened zone decreases with increasing scanning speed. Under the experimental power and defocus, a laser scanning speed between 700–1020 mm/min can meet the general surface requirements of the sprag clutch wedge. After laser hardening, the main components of the hardened layer included lath-shaped and needle-shaped martensite and retained austenite. In terms of friction and wear, when the relative movement speed was within 300–500 mm/min, the relative movement speed decreased and the normal force increased, which led to an increase in the friction coefficient and its fluctuation, as well as an increase in wear volume of the hardened layer. The wear mechanism of the hardened layer included abrasive wear, adhesive wear, and oxidative wear. Excessive normal force resulted in obvious delamination of the sample.
