Abstract: Effect of programmable ion permeation (PIP) on microstructure and high temperature wear resistance of a novel hot-working die steel was studied by means of high temperature wear testing machine, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and micro-hardness testing machine. The results show that when the novel hot-working die steel is treated by PIP, a dense and complete compound layer reaching 40 μm is formed. The out layer is composed of Fe3O4 phase, which can reduce the surface friction coefficient. The subsurface layer is composed of Fe2-3N and Fe4N phases, which can improve the surface hardness. When the wear test temperature is lower than 600 ℃, Fe2-3N and Fe4N phases exist stably. When the wear test temperature is higher than 800 ℃, Fe2-3N and Fe4N phases transform into α-Fe phase to form a nitrogen-containing martensite structure, which improves the high temperature wear resistance of the material.

Key words: novel hot-working die steel, programmable ion permeation technology, high temperature wear resistance
