Results of investigations of wear resistant of two species of cast steel were introduced in the article (low-alloyed and chromium cast steel) on the background of the standard material which was low alloy wear resistant steel about the trade name CREUSABRO ®8000. The investigations were executed with two methods: abrasive wears in the stream of loose particles (the stream of quartz sand) and abrasive wears particles fixed (abrasive paper with the silicon carbide). Comparing the results of investigations in the experiments was based about the counted wear index which characterizes the wears of the studied material in the relation to the standard material.
In this paper crystallization studies of low-alloyed construction cast steel were presented for different additions of chromium, nickel and
molybdenum modified with vanadium and titanium. Studies were conducted using developed TDA stand, which additionally enabled
evaluation of cooling rate influence on crystallization process of investigated alloys.
In the paper the results and analysis of abrasive wear studies were shown for two grades of cast steels: low-alloyed cast steel applied for
heavy machinery parts such as housing, covers etc. and chromium cast steels applied for kinetic nodes of pin-sleeve type. Studies were
performed using the modified in Department of Foundry pin-on-disc method.
In the paper the results and analysis of corrosion tests were presented for low-alloyed cast steel in as-cast state and after heat treatment
operations. Such alloys are applied for heavy loaded parts manufacturing, especially for mining industry. The corrosion test were
performed in conditions of high salinity, similar to those occurring during the coal mining. The results have shown, that small changes in
chemical composition and the heat treatment influence significantly the corrosion behaviour of studied low-alloyed cast steels.
