Generally, press molds have thermal and mechanical impact wear during usage. To improve the life of the mold, enhancement of mechanical properties such as abrasion resistance and shockproof capability is required. To solve this, we propose the multi-layered cladding process of functional materials with different mixing ratios. AISI-D2 material, known as cold die steel, was used as base material and AISI-M4 and -H13 powders were used for surface cladding on the base metal for high resistance wear and shockproof capability. Four cases of specimens were prepared to compare mechanical properties after tests. Through this study, a specimen multiple cladded with mixing M4 and H13 powders for middle layer and M4 powder only for top layer showed 80% improvement in shockproof capability. We posit that this method based on multi-layer cladding with a combination of functional metal powders increased mold life.

The present research investigates the wear analysis on SCM440 and SUS410 alloys for a high- load roller chain. In this wear analysis test, we concentrate on two wear factors: wear loss and coefficient of friction. For the wear test, reciprocating and block on ling analyses were used to assess the variation of wear characteristics. The applied normal loads were fixed at 10, 30, and 50 N in all tests. The test results showed that the Rockwell hardness average value of the SCM440 alloy is near 29.6 HRC, and the coefficient of friction and the wear loss are 0.62 and 3.8 mg, respectively. In addition, wear behavior was evaluated using lubricating oil.
