摘要

In the present work, a combination of a dynamic explicit finite element model and the low cycle fatigue theory is used to simulate the steady-state abrasive wear occurring between an as-cast eutectoid steel and a carbide-tungsten disk. While the low cycle fatigue theory has been used to model wear in softer non-ferrous alloys, this work shows its applicability and accuracy for use in harder alloys, such as the eutectoid steel used in this research which is strengthened with added chromium. The novelty of this work lies in calculating the Manson-Coffin relation constants from a coupled finite element model with experimental tests instead of the previously used Slip line method. The D Manson-Coffin constant, obtained around 2, is in agreement with previous works given in the literature showing that the low cycle fatigue is a general wear mechanism in the steady-state wear of the alloy tested in this work.
