The influence of conventional tempering on the tribiological resistance of the high speed steel HS 6-5-2 remelted with electric arc

The influence of the conventional tempering has been defined in the paper in two different temperatures 560C and 600C on the intensity of tribological wear of the high speed steel HS 6-5-2 remelted with the electric arc. The influence of tempering on the intensity of wear for the steel has been tested with the single and overlapping remeltings. Moreover, the types of the tribological wear appeared during the friction. The tribiological research, were done in the technically dry friction conditions on a testing machine of the pin-on-disc T-01M. Conducting the conventional process of tempering after the remelting with the electric arc, causes the decrease of the intensity of the tribological wear. The smallest intensity of tribiological wear after tempering was observed in the high speed steel HS 6-5-2 with the single remelting of the current 70 A. The main wear type appearing during the research was the abrasion and adhesive wear.
