Abstract

The quasicrystal (QC)-abrasive wear produces a flattened surface compared with traditional abrasives when used to polish metals, opening up new application fields for QC in particle form, but the influence range and extent of QC-abrasive on metal surface are not clear. In this work, the single particle grinding model was used for finite element simulation to qualitatively characterize the effect of QC-abrasive on the subsurface of stainless steel, which was ground by diamond, Al₂O₃ and QC single particle abrasive, respectively. The effects of three kinds of abrasives on the equivalent stress and strain of stainless steel surface were compared. Combined with the measurement of the gradient hardness of stainless steel subsurface, the Mott-Schottky plots and potentiodynamic polarization curve were given, analyzing the corrosion resistance mechanism of passivation film formed on the surface of stainless steel pretreated with QC-abrasive. The results show that the equivalent plastic strain of the stainless steel surface is the highest, up to 73%, when it is ground by QC single particle abrasive repeatedly for six times, which is consistent with the smearing coefficient measured in the experiment. The smearing-dominating on the surface of stainless steel treated with QC-abrasive is strengthened with time increased, but diamond and Al₂O₃ abrasives are improved cutting-dominating with time increased. At the same time, a large number of plastic deformation areas accumulated a higher stress, longitudinal sub-surface of stainless steel treated by QC-abrasive show a higher gradient distribution of equivalent stress. The simulation results are consistent with the changes of hardness of stainless steel at different depths measured in the experiment. The hardness of QC-abrasive treated stainless steel maintains the highest value at 200, 400 and 1800 nm to the surface, respectively. It is manifested as the gradient law of gradual decrease from the surface layer to the interior of the matrix. The Mott-Schottky plots with the minimum carrier concentration prove a large amount of plasticity accumulated on the subsurface of stainless steel treated via QC-abrasive, providing the preferred channel for the passivation element to bond with oxygen when the passivation film is formed on the surface. It can promote the formation of a complete passivation film on surface. The minimum passivation current density with 0.73×10^-6A/cm² of potentiodynamic polarization curve indicates that QC-abrasive pretreated the surface of stainless steel is easier to be passivated. It is also less likely to be punctured to form pitting corrosion due to the relatively high breakdown potential.
