Abstract:

The mechanism and effect of magnetic-abrasive treatment (MAT) on the wear resistance of WC — 8 Co hard alloy inserts have been studied. MAT was carried out on hard alloy inserts before and after coating deposition. The results of local x-ray and electron microscopic analyses are discussed. It has been established that a TiC coating deposited by CVD after MAT contains iron inclusions. The transition layer (coating-hard alloy base) is narrower as compared with the literature data and contains more iron than the coating and base. The mechanism of the MAT effect on the wear resistance of inserts with diffusion coatings is proposed. The effect of MAT of insert coatings on their wear resistance is discussed as well. The highest level of strengthening has been achieved by treatment using the following scheme: magnetic-abrasive treatment + chemical vapor deposition + magnetic abrasive treatment (MAT + CVD + MAT).
