Study of Structure and Corrosion Resistance of Abraded Surfaces of Heat-Resistant Structural Steels

The article discusses the factors ensuring high wear resistance and antifriction properties of nicotrated heat-resistant structural steels under conditions of sliding friction in a saturated KCl solution. It is revealed that corrosion-resistant elements do not provide high strength characteristics of steels and do not help reduce the rate of corrosion-mechanical wear. It is shown that the wear destruction of steels is mainly determined by the ploughing effect, and with an increase in the strength properties of steels, there is a transition from the ploughing effect to the peeling effect.
