Wear resistance of nodular cast iron with carbides

In this paper results of abrasive and adhesive wear resistance of selected grades of nodular cast iron with carbides are presented. It was demonstrated, that the maximum wear resistance has got nodular cast iron with the microstructure of upper bainite, lower bainite and carbides. This cast iron with hardened steel and sulfonitrided steel is the most advantageous friction pair during adhesive wear testing. It was found, that the least advantageous friction pair is pearlitic nodular cast iron with carbides and normalized steel.
