Microstructure, Mechanical, and Wear Characteristics of Hard-Coated C45 Mild Steel for Spur Gear Applications
Source abstract
Abstract
This study is intended towards enhancing the working life of the spur gear and improving its performance using the surface coating process. Mild steel C45 has been chosen as the base material for spur gear, and various specimens were synthesized by coating the base material with Al2O3-40%TiO2, Cr3C2-20%NiCr, and WC-10%Co-4%Cr using detonation thermal spray method. XRD pattern confirms the materials phase, and SEM analysis reveals the surface`s topography and compositions. EDS spectra show the presence of elements. The analysis of properties such as contact stress, bending stress, and total deformation has been carried out, and the specimens have also been studied based on their hardness, tensile, and wear tests. The theoretical stress values of the spur gear have been obtained using the Hertz equation on ANSYS 2021 R2 simulator which is also employed to carry out finite element analysis. Simulations were carried out on single-gear and meshed-gear configurations. The microstructure and mechanical properties of coated materials were compared with uncoated Mild Steel C45. The investigation shows that all the coated materials exhibited better hardness, tensile strength, and wear resistance, and among these substrates coated with WC-Co-Cr possessed the highest abrasive resistance.
