2	Influence of Surface Carbon Content on the Wear of Threaded Connections in Rock Drilling Steels Hälsing, Andreas January 2023 (has links) This thesis work was conducted at Luleå University of Technology in collaboration with Sandvik Rock Tools. The aim of the work was to determine the influence of carbon content on the wear performance in carburized steel in the dry contact interface of threaded connections between drill rods. In order to investigate this, samples of drill rod steel were carburized to three different carbon concentrations and shot peened to replicate the production process of a drill rod. The samples were wear tested by utilizing a twin-disc wear tester with one disc rotating at 100 RPM and the other at 3000 RPM to mimic the operating conditions in the threaded connection between drill rods. The results was evaluated by wear rate, surface topography, hardness as well as optical analysis by light optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that an increased surface carbon content provide a decrease in wear rate and an increase in hardness in the surface layer that undergo microstructural changes due to the frictional heat and contact pressure during wear testing. The primary wear mechanisms were identified as plastic deformation, adhesive scratching and material removal through delamination. carbon content wear performance carburized steel dry contact interface threaded connections drill rods samples shot peening production process twin-disc wear tester RPM operating conditions wear rate surface topography hardness optical analysis light optical microscopy scanning electron microscopy surface carbon content microstructural changes frictional heat contact pressure wear mechanisms plastic deformation adhesive scratching material removal delamination
