Abstract
In this work the existing computer controlled methodology has been modified A loading and unloading mechanism has been designed, manufactured and assembled. A specimen fixture has been designed and installed. Alloy steel specimens with different surface treatment were tested on the modified wear testing machine. Operational surface roughness was measured in all stages of running-in, steady state and catastrophic wear. The difference between technological and operational surface roughness was observed. The results show that the surface treatment by Plasma Ion-Nitriding with Magnetic treatment increases wear resistance. It was found that the coated material which had been magnetically treated with a large number of cycles had the least wear rate.
