TY - JOUR A1 - Giese, Marcel A1 - Gräbner, Maraike A1 - Schröpfer, Dirk A1 - Treutler, Kai A1 - Lorenz, Svenja A1 - Kannengießer, Thomas A1 - Wesling, Volker T1 - Alloy modification and ultrasonic-assisted milling of wear-resistant alloys with defined surfaces N2 - The reduction of CO2 emissions is closely linked to the development of highly efficient and economical steel components in plant and process engineering. To withstand the high combined corrosive, tribological, thermal, and mechanical stresses, wear-resistant coatings tailored to the application and steel grade are used. In addition to the increasing demand to substitute conventional cobalt alloys with nickel alloys, there is also a growing need for defined or functional surfaces of high integrity. Due to high tool wear, milling operations required to produce the complex geometries of the components are often not economically feasible for SMEs. By means of alloy modification of the filler metals for nickel-based plasma build-up welded wear-resistant coatings and by the use of innovative ultrasonic-assisted milling processes more favourable machinability shall be achieved without reducing the wear protection potential. In this paper, the influence of the microstructure and precipitation morphology adjusted by means of alloy modification on the machinability is investigated. This is done based on a wear protection alloy NiCrMoSiFeB (trade name: Colmonoy 56 PTA) typically used for screw machines, which substitutes conventional CoCr alloys (Stellite). Metallurgical investigations and in-situ measurements of occurring process forces and temperatures at the tool cutting edge during milling as well as subsequent investigations of tool wear and surface integrity allow a detailed analysis and correlation between microstructural properties and machinability. For the cast samples, a clear change in the microstructure and hardness can be seen through the addition of Al, Ti, or Nb. These differences lead to an improvement in the machining process for Nb. Al and Ti cause long-needled or star-shaped precipitations and hardness increases, which lead to higher cutting forces and increased tool wear.

Wear-resistant coatings are required for highly efficient and economical steel components in plant, process and power plant engineering to withstand the high corrosive, tribological, thermal and mechanical stresses. Co alloys are utilized as wear protection coatings for steel components that are customized to the specific application. The research area of interest is the substitutability of Co alloys with Ni-based wear protection systems. This research endeavour considers the price and supply uncertainties as well as the escalating demands on corrosive load-bearing capacity at elevated temperatures. The wear-resistant alloys NiMoCrSi (Colmonoy C56) and CoMnCrSi (Tribaloy T400) have been modified through various alloying additions and subsequently applied to a carbon-manganese steel S355 using the Plasma Arc Transferred Arc (PTA) welding process. The influence of the alloying additions on the microstructure as well as on the formation of the hard phases of the build-up welds is compared. The inclusion of the alloying element Nb, for instance, results in the formation of a more refined hard phase and reduces the machining force required for the C56 and T400. The incorporation of Al results in an enhancement of the cutting forces for the C56, as the hard phases exhibit more needle-like structures. Al reduces the cutting forces of the T400. The wear potential of the modified build-up welds of the C56 and T400 is also being examined In the industrial sector, there is a growing demand for functional surfaces of superior quality. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure the machinability of the wear protection layers to achieve clearly defined contours. The machinability of the build-up welds is investigated using ultrasonic milling. The optimization of the demanding machining conditions through alloy modifications of the Co- and Ni-based alloys without impairing the wear protection potential and using the ultrasonic-assisted milling process is a joint project of BAM and ISAF at Clausthal University of Technology (Fosta P1550/IGF 21959 N).
