Bys' S. Tribological properties and tempering structures durability of 60C2 steel subject to hydrogenation effect

The thesis is devotes to the research of both material and hydrogen structural condition influence on its tribological characteristics formation. Scientific regularities, mechanisms at friction and wear processes of 60C2 spring steel with different structural conditions and surface hardening methods, as well as hydrogen influence are determined in the study. Due to current approaches and up-to-date equipment, the dependence of material’s tribological characteristics from physico-chemico-technical situation in the cutting zone, constructive durability and microflow, subject to hydrogenation effect have been analyzed. The forecast of non-strengthened materials’ wear resistance after their constructive durability and crack resistance strengthening, has been suggested.
