Thermomechanical Wear Testing of Metal Matrix Composite Cladding for Potential Application in Hot Rolling Mills

Abstract

The cover shows the microstructure of a metal matrix composite consisting of tungsten carbide particles embedded in a nickel alloy matrix. The diameter of the spherical particle at the center is about 40 μm. The EDX maps illustrate different contents of tungsten (orange) and nickel (yellow) inside the particles and inside the matrix, respectively. Further information can be found in the article by Josef Domitner and co‐workers, article number http://doi.wiley.com/10.1002/srin.201900478.

Wear Behavior of Roller‐Burnished High Interstitial Austenitic Stainless Steel Parts in Glass‐Reinforced Plastic Melt

“…A similar approach was shown in literature for thermomechanical wear testing. [ 21 ] The mass loss was calculated by multiplying the steel densities, which are 7.73 kg dm − 3 for 31CrMoV9 + QT and 7.63 kg dm − 3 for CN1.1Mo, with the volume loss.…”
