Abstract
- The evolution of nano-laminated structure generated in dry sliding wear of a high strength martensite steel was investigated by using Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Gradient microstructure along the depth was observed with the top layer consisting of nano-laminated structure. During the sliding wear-induced plastic deformation, grains were refined and lamellar structures were formed as a result of generation of dislocation cell blocks bounded by geometrically necessary boundaries (GNBs) and incidental dislocation boundaries (IDBs). With increasing plastic shear strain and strain gradient, there is a continuous reduction in the spacing and length in dislocation cell blocks, leading to nano-laminated structures. The ultrafine nano-laminated structure with laminate spacing of 20 nm was observed at the sliding time of 120 min. However, the grain refinement is not a merely mechanical deformation process. The formation of Fe3O4 and FeO gave direct evidence that the highest temperature due to frictional heat could reach up to 600 °C. The result suggested that the formation of nano-laminated structure was governed by thermally-assisted plastic deformation.
