Abstract
The present paper deals with the sliding wear behaviour of prealloyed chromium sintered steel with graphite powder added in the amount of 0.7 %. The wear characteristics, such as profilograms, wear tracks morphology and wear curves of the sintered specimens and Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coated were investigated through pinon-disk tests. The specimens were sintered in pusher furnace at the temperature of 1180 °C for 40 minutes in an atmosphere of 25 % H2+75 % N2. The results of profilograms, the wear curves and the wear tracks showed positive effect of coating on the wear resistance of the tested specimens.
