Abstract
The focus of this study was the combined effects of sliding velocity (SV) and martensite volume fraction (MVF) on the tribological behavior of dual-phase (DP) steel. Dry frictional tests were realized on a ball-on-disk tribometer by unidirectional sliding at 0.1 m/s, 0.6 m/s, and 1 m/s. Considering the increase in SV, both the friction coefficient (COF) and wear rate decrease due to the increase in oxidative wear. At 0.1 m/s, the major wear mechanism is abrasive wear, accompanied by partial material flaking and less oxidation wear; at 0.6 m/s, the wear mechanism is in the transition between abrasive wear and oxidation wear; at 1 m/s, oxidation wear becomes the dominant wear mechanism. For the same SV, specimens with lower MVF exhibited lower wear compared to specimens with higher MVF; this phenomenon is especially evident at low SV. As the SV increases, the effect of MVF on the wear decreases, and the velocity becomes the dominant factor.
