Effect of boron addition on the rolling contact fatigue strength of Fe-Ni-Mo-B-C sintered alloys

Sintered materials are superior in productivity because of their simple process, but they are not applied to high-load gears because of their insufficient strength. To improve the fatigue strength of sintered materials, the authors have developed liquid-phase sintering which can achieve high-density...

Effect of boron addition on the rolling contact fatigue strength of Fe-Ni-Mo-B-C sintered alloys
description Sintered materials are superior in productivity because of their simple process, but they are not applied to high-load gears because of their insufficient strength. To improve the fatigue strength of sintered materials, the authors have developed liquid-phase sintering which can achieve high-density without using secondary processing. In this study, the effect of boron addition (0-0.4 mass%) on the rolling contact fatigue strength of Fe-Ni-Mo-B-C sintered and carburized material was evaluated. In addition, in order to evaluate only the boron addition effect excluding the influence of density, the sintered density of each specimen was controlled to be the same. In the test range of this study, the rolling contact fatigue limit (pmax)lim of material with an additional quantity of boron of 0.1 mass% showed the highest value exceeding 1700 MPa. This value was not only significantly higher than the (pmax)lim of the boron-free material (1100 MPa), but also an extremely high value comparable to the (pmax)lim of wrought steel (1900 MPa).
