... and QT400 ductile irons, specimens with varying hardness were prepared through heat treatment and subsequently paired with nitrided counterparts. Tribological tests were performed under simulated service conditions using gear oil containing 1.5 Wt.% molybdenum dialkyldithiophosphate. Wear mechanisms were...

...Wengang Chen; Xueyuan Liu; Lili Zheng Purpose This paper aims to clarify the friction properties of 304 steel surface modification. The surface modification includes laser texturing processing and nitriding treatment on 304 steel surface, and then the friction properties’ test was conducted...
