Abstract

100Cr6
steel surface was induction hardened in order to be used in a bushing
manufacturing.  After examininig the
microstructure and hardness variations of the hardened surfaces, ball-on disc
type wear tests were carried out.  Wear
tests were performed at 4,92 mm/s sliding speed, under various loads (2,5-5-10
N), in dry medium and at room temperature. 
The results of wear tests were evaluated by the mass loss method.  The coefficients of friction were obtained
during wear tests.   The wear tracks and
surfaces were investigated by optic and scanning electron microscopes. 

As
a result, the surface hardness of the steel was obtained 2,5 times more than
the core hardness by the aid of formed martensitic matrix structure instead of
pearlitic one on steel surface by induction hardening process. It is seen that
the highest mass loss was obtained by applying 5 N load in wear tests.
