The surface hardening process was conducted in the aqueous electrolyte solution of 20% sodium carbonate and 20% urea. The sample consists of a ferritic-pearlitic structure, i.e. the part retains its viscous core, and the surface layer contains carbide particles. Hardening process induces martensite transformation and creation of carbide particles in the surface layer. The presence of carbide particles in the surface layers has a positive effect on the tribo-mechanical performance. Hardened structure 600 m long was obtained with hardness increase up to 520 HV and 2.5 times higher wear resistance. Tribological test results showed the difference of the coefficient of friction as a function of surface roughness determined by plasma-electrolytic hardening process. popup.nrat_date 2025-05-12 Close
