Effects of Co addition on sliding wear properties of multi-component white cast iron were investigated. The microstructures of multi-component white cast iron containing from 0%Co to 10%Co exhibited little difference. However, the hardness increased with an increase of the Co content. Increasing the Co content, wear properties were improved and the iron oxide on worn surface was increased in the low sliding speed range of the steady-state wear region. Hence, Co addition was effective to improve the wear properties of multi-component white cast iron by accelerating the corrosive wear as well as the enhancement effect of hardness.

The effects of carbide and matrix structures on the abrasion wear resistance of multi-component white cast irons with 3.0 mass%C have been studied in this paper. Four different heats were poured in order to obtain the specimens with different combinations of the carbide structures: a basic iron(3.0 mass%C-5.0 mass%Cr-5.0 mass%V-5.0 mass% Mo-12.5mass%W)for M$_{6}$C and M$_{7}$C$_{3}$ carbides, and a Cr free iron(3.0 mass%C-5.0 mass%V-2.5mass%Mo-12.5 mass%W) for MC and M6C carbides. A conventional high Cr free free iron(3.0 mass%C-5.0 mass%V-2.5 mass%Mo-12.5 mass%W) for MC and M6C carbides. A conventional high Cr white cast iron was also poured to compare its wear resistance with those of the multi-component white cast irons. In the as-cast condition, the range of abrasive wear rate(Rw=mg/min) was from 4.15 to 5.98 . The lowest Rw, which means the highest wear resistance, was obtained in the basic iron with nodular MC, lamellar M$_{2}$C and cellular M$_{7}$C$_{3}$ carbides. On the other hand, the Rw of the high Cr white cast iron ranked between the basic iron and the Mo and W free iron. In each alloy, the Rw of air hardened or tempered specimen was lower than that of the as-cast one because of the change of matrix structures by the heat treatments. The Rw of the hear treated speci-mens increased in the order Mo and W free iron, basic iron, Cr free iron, high Cr iron, and V free iron.n.n.n.

Type and three-dimensional morphology of carbides precipitated in the X(X= 1.70, 1.92, 2.21, 2.50, 2.86)%C-5%Cr-5%V-5%Mo-5%W-5%Co multi-component white cast iron were investigated using an optical microscope and SEM. The types of carbides precipitated were MC, M$_2$C and M$_{7}$C$_{3}$. Morphology of the MC carbide took three forms, that it petal-like, nodular and coral-like. MC carbide seemed to change its morphology from petal-like through nodular, and finally to coral-like with an increase in carbon content. M7C carbide was classified into lamellar and plate-like type. The lamellar M$_2$C arbide precipitated in the iron with low molybdenum and tungsten contents, and higher contents of both elements in the iron were needed to form the plate-like M$_2$C carbide. The morphology of M$_{7}$C$_{3}$ was rod-like similar to that observed in high chromium white cast iron. However, cobalt does not affect the type and morphology of precipitated carbides.des.

Three different multi-component white cast irons alloyed with Cr, V, Mo and W were prepared in order to study their as-cast and solidification structures. Three combinations of the alloying elements were selected so as to obtain the different types of carbides and matrix structures : 3%C-10%Cr-5%Mo-5%W(alloy No.1), 3%C-10%V-5% Mo-5%W(alloy No. 2) and 3%C-17%Cr-3% V(alloy No.3). The as-cast microstructures were investigated with optical and scanning electron microscopes. There existed two different types of carbides, $M_7C_3$ carbide with rod-like morphology and $M_6C$ carbide with fishbone-like one, and matrix in the alloy No. 1. The alloy No. 2 consisted of MC carbide with chunky and flaky type and needle-like $M_2C$ carbide, and matrix. The chunky type referred to primary MC carbide and the flaky one to eutectic MC carbide. The morphology of the alloy No. 3 represented a typical hypo-eutectic high chromium white cast iron composed of rod-like $M_7C_3$ carbide which is very sensitive to heat flow direction and matrix. To clarify the solidification sequence, each iron(50g) was remelted at 1723K in an alumina crucible using a silicon carbide resistance furnace under argon atmosphere. The molten iron was cooled at the rate of 10K/min and quenched into water at several temperatures during thermal analysis. The solidification structures of the specimen were found to consist of austenite dendrite(${\gamma}$), $ ({\gamma}+ M_7C_3)$ eutectic and $({\gamma}+ M_6C)$ eutectic in the alloy No. 1, proeutectic MC, austenite dendrite(${\gamma}$), (${\gamma}$+MC) eutectic and $({\gamma}+ M_2C)$ eutectic in the alloy No. 2, and proeutectic $M_7C_3$ and $ ({\gamma}+ M_7C_3)$ eutectic in the alloy No 3. respectively.

주방상태 및 열처리를 행한 다합금계백주철(Fe-5%Cr-5%V-5%Mo-5%W-X%C(X=0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0)에 있어서 탄소함량이 탄화물의 형태 및 잔류오스테나이트의 함량에 미치는 영향에 관하여 연구하였다. 주방상태의 경우, 2.0% 이하의 탄소함량에서는 편상MC 및 층상 $M_2C$탄화물만 관찰되었으나 2.5%C 이상의 경우, 편상 및 괴상MC, 층상$M_2C$ 그리고 셀형 $M_7C_3$탄화물이 관찰되었다. 또한, 기지조직내 오스테나이트의 함량도 탄소첨가와 더불어 점차 증가하여 2.5%C에서 84.8%의 최대함량을 나타낸 후, 3.0%C에서는 다시 감소하였다. 또한 열처리한 시편의 경우, 1차탄화물의 형상은 주방상태의 그것과 비슷하였으나 열처리중 기지조직내 용해되었던 C, Cr, V, Mo, W등이 아주 미세한 2차탄화물의 형태로 석출되어 기지조직내 오스테나이트의 함량은 주방상태의 그것에 비해 감소하였다.

다합금계백주철의 성분원소인 Cr, V, Mo 및 W 의 첨가량을 변화시켜 응고조직을 관찰하였다. MC탄화물은 초정 austenite dendrite 내에 괴상 및 구상으로 M7C3탄화물은 intercellular boundary에 꽃형태 또는 bar 형태로, 그리고 M2C 탄화물은 M7C3탄화물과 마찬가지로 intercellular boundary에 침상으로 정출하였다. 기지조직은 주방상태에서 pealite 또는 (pearlite + austenite)의 혼합조직으로 구성되어 있었으며, 또한 EPMA 분석결과 MC탄화물은 V, M7C3 탄화물은 Cr 그리고 M2C탄화물은 Mo 및 W가 주성분으로 되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 냉각곡선을 측정한 결과 액상에서 MC, M7C3, M2C 순으로 공정반응이 일어나고 있었으며 또한 X-선 회절시험을 통해 각 탄화물의 회절 peak를 관찰하였는바 응고조직의 사진과 잘 일치하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

2.3%C-26%Cr-1%Ni-0.5%Mo 조성의 다합금계 고크롬백주철을 고주파유도용해로를 사용하여 주조한 후 응고조직, 열처리조직 및 기계적성질간의 상관관계를 연구하였다. 주방상태에서는 초정덴드라이트조직인 기지조직과 공정탄화물로 구성되어 있었으며 기지조직의 73%가 오스테나이트, 27%가 마르텐사이트조직이었다. $900^{\circ}C$에서 5시간동안 균질화열처리만 행한 시편의 경우, 기지조직은 거의 페라이트로 구성되어 있었으며 $1100^{\circ}C$에서 불안정화열처리후 강제공냉시킨 시편의 경우, 유지시간에 따라 기지조직내의 잔류오스테나이트함량은 48.9-57.6%의 범위에 놓여 있었다. 주방상태 및 열처리시편 공히 마모량과 마모시간과의 관계가 직선적으로 얻어 졌는바 마모속도는 $2.77x10^{-2}$ /$~4.12x10^{-2mg}$ /sec의 범위에 걸쳐 있었다. 주방상태의 시편이 내마모성이 가장 우수하였으며 균질화열처리만 행한 시편이 가장 열악하였다. 기지조직내 잔류오스테나이트함량의 비율이 높아짐에 따라 경도는 감소하였고 반면에 내마모성은 향상되었다. 이는 마찰마모시험시 접촉부위의 오스테나이트가 가공경화를 일으켜 마르텐사이트로 변태되었기 때문으로 사려된다.
