Experimental Investigation of Surface Wear and Induced Damage Evaluation under Dry Sliding Conditions in Medium Carbon Steel

This study examines dry sliding wear in untreated AISI 1038 and AISI 1045 steels, using hardened AISI 1055 steel as the counterpart. Pin-on-disc tests were run at a constant sliding speed of 0.5 m/s under loads ranging from 5 to 40 N. SEM and EDS analyses were used to identify surface damage and the mechanisms behind i...
