Abstract

Metallographic studies of the structure and tribological studies in conditions of dry sliding friction of sparingly alloyed high nitrogen steel samples after quenching in the temperature range from (Ac3 – 50) to (Ac3 + 250) °C were carried out in this work. Metallographic analysis showed that with an quenching temperature increasing, the grain size increases and the martensitic structure fineness decreases. According to the tribological studies results, it was found that after quenching in the temperature range (Ac3 + 100)–(Ac3 + 150) °C, the content of austenite saturated with carbon and nitrogen increases, which leads to a decrease in the friction coefficient and an increase in wear resistance.
