Effect of Vibratory Peening on Surface Integrity, Strain Hardening, and Tribocorrosion Wear Behavior of Cast X120Mn12 Austenitic Manganese Steel
摘要
Austenitic manganese steels are relatively soft after casting operation but exhibit the unique capability of significant strain hardening under dynamic loading conditions. They are widely used in critical engineering applications subjected to impact or adhesive wear. In the present study, cast X120Mn12 steel was subjected to vibratory peening at a vibration frequency of 50 Hz for 1, 2, and 3 h, respectively. The effects of this process on surface integrity, microstructure, hardening, dislocation density, and wear resistance were investigated. Wear tests were conducted against an alumina ball (
