Current development of carbide free bainitic and retained austenite on wear resistance in high silicon steel

Abstract

A pragmatic shift has been ongoing for the metal development of industrialization for the last several decades. In various engineering and industrial applications, there is a high demand for materials with high tensile strength and ductility. This demand can be met by instilling carbide-free bainitic in high silicon steel. The proposed steel type is enriched with desired properties and can be fabricated in a cost-effective approach. In this research, the wear rate of the proposed material has been thoroughly evaluated in numerous applications by highlighting the recent research progress and influence of carbide-free bainitic, retained austenite on wear resistance in high silicon steel and the working parameters. Different compositions of the material, microstructural analysis, and results of the experiments have been comprehensively analyzed with different effective mechanisms involved. The whole effort sets the prominent outcomes of the existing research and proposes the application for different areas of research where more emphasis required for the optimum results.
