INCREASING THE LIFETIME OF A COUPLE OF CUTTING BLADES FOR PIPE
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2014, Vol 258, Issue 6
Abstract
This investigation seeks to increase the lifetime of a couple of cutting blades pipe. The average life of this pair of blades is about two working shifts, and these blades have fracture and wear problems, which result in line stoppage and bad cuts in the pipes. These blades are currently made of D2 steel (1.5% C, 12% Cr, 1% V), which is a strong but brittle steel, and the process is quite fast and is under severe impact conditions. Searching to increase the mechanical properties, such as toughness and impact resistance, the utilization of a cryogenic treatment (sub-zero) has been proposed. The investigated cryogenic treatment increases the wear resistance in steel D2 ten times and also presents good results in other investigated materials (S7, H13, M2, Cr8) applying different PVD coatings in which the lifetime increases to reach 200%. The tribological tests were done with the T-05 (block on ring) equipment designed by the Institute for Sustainable Technologies in Radom, Poland, to analyse the eroded volume for each specimen.
