Abstract
near-threshold fatigue crack propagation in an ultrahigh strength steel (300-M) show similar resistance to sliding wear in ewnvironments of ambient temperature air. Effects of tempering temperature and hardness were specifically investigated. It was found that wear resistance in this steel bore no direct relationship to crack propagation resistance, whereas a direct correlation was found with resistance to crack intitiation (or more correctly the initiation and growth of microcracks). The significance of these results are discussed in the light of the limiting mechanisms for delamination wear in ultrahigh strength steels and the size-scale of the events involved. (A) According to the delamination theory of sliding wear, wear damage can result from cyclic shear deformation due to surface traction exerted by asperities leading to sub-surface initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks (under combined Mode I and II conditions). Estimates of the rate of such fatigue crack propagation under sliding wear conditions in steels have been found to be in the near-threshold regime (i.e., typically below 10SUB-SUB5mm/cycle). Accordingly, the objective of this work was to investigate whether microstructures which are known to be highly resistant to Mode I.
