Abstract
The pin-on-plate tribological (wear) testing at AGIR-UPB to determine the optimum material couple for VNT step III vane/insert contact. Test results in terms of wear volume loss and roughness evaluation were reported in ER 06-0415, in collaboration with PV Product Engineering. Previous examination of the worn samples was undertaken at AGIR-Materials Laboratory, consisting of complementary metallurgical analysis, using micrography and scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS). The objective of this work/study was/is to further understand the nitriding treatment parameters and substrate behavior and/or degradation mode created, utilizing the tribological wear technologically / method INTERFEROMETALOGRAPHY (InterMeT) / profilometer.
