Abstract

Steel alloys are one of the most used engineering material classes due to their superior properties such as yield and tensile strength, good thermal conductivity, machinability, formability, ductility, magnetic properties, and recyclability. In addition to its advantages, steel suffers from two main factors that limit its use, namely wear and corrosion. Wear and corrosion, separately or in combination, cause a material loss in steel, resulting in increased costs in industrial production. However, with appropriate surface treatments, wear and corrosion of steels can be prevented or kept to a minimum. Corrosion and wear resistances provided by appropriate methods have the potential to reduce costs and also expand the set of suitable materials that designers can choose from. In this study, brief information about steel is given and then preventive applications against wear and corrosion of steel materials are examined. Definitions were made about surface treatments such as hot-dip coatings, electrochemical coatings, electroless coatings, thermochemical surface treatments, sol-gel coatings, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), thermal spray coatings, physical vapor deposition (PVD), and the effects of surface treatments on the wear and corrosion properties of steels were investigated. In addition, the effects of some process parameters of surface treatments and post-treatments such as heat treatment on corrosion and wear behavior are presented.

Aşınma ve Korozyona Dirençli Çelik Yüzeyler Oluşturmak Için Kullanılan Yüzey İşlemleri Üzerine Bir Derleme

Abstract

Çelik alaşımları, akma ve çekme mukavemeti, iyi ısıl iletkenlik, işlenebilirlik, şekillendirilebilirlik, süneklik, manyetik özellikler ve geri dönüştürülebilirlik gibi üstün özelliklerinden dolayı en çok kullanılan mühendislik malzemesi sınıflarından biridir. Avantajlarına ek olarak, çelik, kullanımını sınırlayan iki ana faktörden muzdariptir: aşınma ve korozyon. Aşınma ve korozyon, ayrı ayrı veya bir arada, çeliklerde malzeme kaybına neden olarak endüstriyel üretimde maliyetlerin artmasına neden olur. Ancak uygun yüzey işlemleri ile çeliklerin aşınması ve korozyonu önlenebilir veya minimumda tutulabilir. Uygun yöntemlerle sağlanan korozyon ve aşınma direnci, maliyetleri düşürme potansiyeline sahiptir ve endüstriyel tasarımcılara geniş bir malzeme seçimi yelpazesi sunar. Bu çalışmada çelikler hakkında kısaca bilgi verilmiş ardından çelik malzemelerin aşınma ve korozyona karşı önleyici uygulamaları incelenmiştir. Sıcak daldırma kaplamalar, elektrokimyasal kaplamalar, akımsız kaplamalar, termokimyasal yüzey işlemleri, sol-jel, termal sprey kaplamalar, fiziksel buhar biriktirme, kimyasal buhar biriktirme, gibi yüzey işlemleri ile yüzey işlemlerinin çeliklerin aşınma ve korozyon direnci üzerindeki etkileri hakkında tanımlamalar yapılmıştır. Ayrıca proses parametrelerinin ve yüzey işleminden sonra uygulanan ısıl işlem gibi ardıl işlemlerin çeliklerin korozyon ve aşınma davranışı üzerindeki etkileri sunulmaktadır.
