slitasjemetaller
Slitasjemetaller refers to metals and alloys designed to withstand wear in repeated contact, by increasing surface hardness and resistance to material removal. They are used where components experience sliding, rolling, impact, or abrasive contact.
Wear resistance arises from hard microstructures, stable carbides, and sometimes surface coatings. Wear mechanisms include adhesive
Common materials include tool steels and high-carbon alloy steels designed for hardness after heat treatment; stainless
Manufacturing and surface engineering: traditional heat treatment (hardening, tempering, case hardening, carburizing, nitriding) to create hard
Applications and design considerations: cutting tools, extrusion and stamping dies, gears, bearings, piston rings, valve seats,
