HARDMETAL MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION BY USING THE TRIBOTESTING METHOD OF SIMULTANEOUS ABRASION AND EDGE FRACTURE RESISTANCE ESTIMATION
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2014, Vol 257, Issue 5
Abstract
The work presents the results of using a simple and reliable integrated testing method in which conjoin actions involving the fracture and abrasion of hardmetals together with abradant particle comminution is carefully monitored and analysed. The presented system approach to tribotesting enables the mechanical characterization of hardmetals in attrition contact with granular minerals, which takes place in, e.g., mineral processing or in drilling action. The results from this testing show that, by using one apparatus and test specimen shape, it is possible to obtain a reliable rating of hardmetals according to both criteria, which is their fracture toughness as well as their resistance to abrasion in rubbing contact with the abradant. The integrated testing method required a theoretical or empirical model that describes the relationship between fracture toughness, other mechanical properties, and the test's fracture indicator. For the range of materials tested, the best correlation received was for the empirical model for the removal of brittle material by lateral cracking.
