Dry Sliding Wear behavior of Cryogenic Treated 20MnCr5 Alloy Steel

Sandeep S Kadam, S. D. Ambekar

Abstract: This research is limited to study the wear resistance of cryogenically treated 20MnCr5 (SAE 5120) alloy steel; which has wide application in industries like gears; shafts; bearings; pins etc. Cryogenics is used as a supplement treatment that is performed after carburizing. The abrasive wear study is performed on pin-on-disc tribotester. The counterface disc was kept same for both the heat treatments (carburizing and cryogenics). Sliding velocity of 0.8 m/s; 1.6 m/s; 2.4 m/s; Sliding Distance of 1200 m; 1400 m; 1600 m and Load of 3 kg; 4 kg and 5 kg were used to evaluate the wear resistance.
