Fiore, N. F.

Correlation of the microstructural features of alloy cast irons and Co-base alloys to their wear resistance under room temperature low-stress and high-stress (gouging) abrasion is discussed. Low-stress abrasion resistance is determined on a dry-sand rubber wheel device, whereas high-stress abrasion resistance is measured in a grinding wheel test. The microstructures of the test materials are characterized by automated image analysis techniques.
