Abrasive Wear of a Steel Counterbody in Frictional Contact with Pressed Modified Wood

Аннотация

The article presents results of studying how an abrasive affects the wear of pressed modified wood and steel samples—counterbodies without hardening and with hardening by annealing and application of a diamond-like coating of titanium nitride. It is shown that the (linear and mass) wear rate of unreinforced steel samples is more than 20 times higher than for hardened samples; surface hardening via vacuum coating deposition is ineffective due to its intense peeling in the presence of an abrasive.
