Abstract

The dry sliding behavior of a 304L austenitic stainless steel and a duplex 2205 austenitic-ferritic stainless was investigated. The evolution of wear was characterized by the existence of a sliding-distance transition. In particular, wear passed from delamination to tribo-oxidation, with a reduction in wear rate. The occurrence of such a transition was interpreted with reference to a theory of sliding wear based on the formation, by subsurface plastic deformation, of a tribological layer and its detachment during sliding. It has been found that the transition is controlled by the ability of the tribological system to form, on its outer part, a protective oxide-rich scale. This introduces a kinetic limitation, which is particularly important in the case of the duplex 2205, because of its lower ductility in comparison to the 304L steel. In this frame, the influence of sliding velocity, the particular frictional behavior, the role of chromium in the oxidative wear, and the surface temperature evolution during sliding could be explained.
