Article: Research from Jiangsu University reveals new findings on mechanical engineering.

According to a study from Zhenjiang, People's Republic of China, "The oxidation and tribo-oxidation of an alloy steel H13 under elevated-temperature atmospheric conditions were studied. The structure and morphology of the oxides and tribooxides of the steel were characterized using X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope."

"A loose oxide film wholly covered the surface of the steel after the steel was oxidized at 650 degrees C for 20 min. Fe2O3 as the main oxide was identified except for a small amount of Fe3O4. A compact oxide film formed on the worn surface of the steel during wear. The worn surface presented two regions: the delamination region ...
