EVALUATION OF WEAR AND CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF HEAT TREATED STAINLESS STEEL
Keywords:
Heat Treatment, SS304, Abrasion Wear, Adhesion Wear , Corrosion ResistanceAbstract
This paper discusses about the abrasive wear resistance and corrosion resistance of SS304. In the current work heat treated SS304 rectangular billets are subjected to abrasion using Dry Sand/Rubber Wheel Apparatus and adhesion wear for samples subjected to different heat treatment process. The steel billets are subjected to four types of cooling medium -furnace cooling, air cooling, ice cooling and oil cooling. The hardness for all the specimens is determined. The steel billets after heat treatment are also subjected to immersion corrosion test. It is seen that samples subjected to furnace cooling have shown superior corrosion and wear resistance when compared to the other counterparts.
