Abstract

In this research, an MLD-10 Load Abrasive Wear Testing Machine was used to conduct experiments on ZGMn13, which are common material in mining and agriculture. The tests were conducted at different impact energies (1J, 2J, 3J), respectively, using three experimental groups: dry impact, quartz sand, and water. The findings ZGMn13 high manganese steel exhibits lower wear resistance at an energy of 1J, while at 3J, its wear resistance is the best. Under the same impact energy, the sand addition group exhibits the most severe wear, followed by the water addition group, while the control group demonstrates the least wear. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations reveal distinct wear features on the surface, including ploughing grooves, pits, and spalling. Surface profile analysis and hardness testing further confirm the relationship between wear severity and experimental conditions, while also elucidating the hardening behavior of high-manganese steel during impact. This study provides critical experimental evidence for the application of high-manganes esteel materials in impact-abrasive environments. The surface affected by quartz sand abrasive is rough and uneven, displaying traces of repeated pitting deformation.
