Abstract

Severe plastic deformation is considered one of the methods of producing materials with sub-micrometer and even ultra-fine-grained materials. The constrained groove pressing process is one of the severe plastic deformation methods for sheet-formed materials. In this research, the wear resistance and hardness of 304L stainless steel after being subjected to constrained groove pressing were analyzed with respect to the pass number. It was found that the hardness of the initial annealed sample was 163.5 HV, and It was equal to 373.7 and 389.5 HV in the first and third passes, showing an increase of 128% and 138% of hardness in the first and third passes compared to the initial sample. Moreover, the sample wear rate at the normal load of 30 N and 50 N was 0.049% and 1.16% for the initial annealed state, 0.041% and 0.56% for the first pass condition, and 0.036% and 0.24% for the final pass situation. The main reasons for the hardness improvement and wear resistance increase are related to the application of cold work and the increase of dislocation density. It should be mentioned that the dislocation movement makes the material more ductile (increase in the plastic deformation) if the density of dislocations in the material exceeds a certain limit, it leads to the interaction of dislocations and their locking; so, the material becomes more brittle. It can be concluded that the improvement of hardness and wear resistance increases with the addition of the pass number.

Highlights

  • SPD was applied on 304L stainless steel.
  • Hardness was improved by imposing the CGP.
  • The wear rate decreased by increasing the pass number.
  • The effect of the first pass is more prominent than other pass numbers.
