Abrasive Wear Behaviour of Reformer HP40Nb Steel

In the engineering industry, mechanical damage done by abrasive wear is probably the most dominant. In the present study, the two body abrasive wear characteristics of reformer steel (HP40Nb) are investigated. The design of experiments was done by using Taguchi technique. For performing the experiments, three parameters each of three levels were chosen. The L27 orthogonal array was selected. The combined effect of parameters on specific wear is studied, and interactions of parameters on specific wear are also studied.
