sequence of mechanisms, from a mild oxide film regime up to subsurface cracking that removes flakes of metal. This page collects the subsurface structure that forms under impact, the damage mechanisms and the coefficient data behind them, and the hardness and geometry rules that the spalling studies on striking tools produced.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"ts-tool-area\">\n        <div class=\"ts-sec\">Two stages of impact wear\n          <span>Impact wear starts with an induction period in which the surface deforms and a wear scar forms, but no material is lost in measurable quantities. The end of that period is the zero wear limit, and it is the point from which measurable wear is counted.<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <ul class=\"ts-notes-list\">\n          <li>The model the source gives for the zero wear limit treats each impact as contributing damage from the surface shear stress and from the maximum subsurface shear stress. The material wear factor in that expression comes out at approximately 1.1 for carbon and tool steel specimens.<\/li>\n          <li>Beyond the limit, the useful life of most components is tied to the loss of a specific depth of material rather than to the onset of wear, which is why the measurable wear region is the one that carries life prediction. The measured coefficient values in the table below sit in the tail of this model, where the wear volume follows the impact energy and the number of impacts.<\/li>\n          <li>For unlubricated metals the sliding wear coefficient k falls between about 5 x 10 to the minus 3 and 3 x 10 to the minus 5. The impact wear coefficient K is expected to be an order of magnitude smaller, between about 5 x 10 to the minus 4 and 1 x 10 to the minus 6, and the measured values below fall inside that band.<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n        <div class=\"ts-table-wrap\"><table class=\"ts-table\" style=\"min-width:980px;\">\n            <thead>\n              <tr><th>Surface measured<\/th><th>Impact energy, kgf mm<\/th><th>Number of impacts<\/th><th>Lubrication<\/th><th>Impact wear coefficient K<\/th><\/tr>\n            <\/thead>\n            <tbody>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Copper, hard<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">2<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1<\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">53 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Steel<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">20<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1<\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">67 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Steel<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">20<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1<\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">Yes<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">10 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Tungsten<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">138<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">2.4 x 10<sup>3<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">130 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Copper<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">60<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">5 x 10<sup>5<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">20 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Soft steel<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">120<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">5 x 10<sup>5<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">19 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Aluminium alloy<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">60<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">5 x 10<sup>5<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">42 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Titanium alloy<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">120<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">5 x 10<sup>5<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">15 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Hard steel<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">160<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">5 x 10<sup>5<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">28 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Hard steel<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">700<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">4 x 10<sup>3<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">43 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Hard steel<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">42<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">2 x 10<sup>4<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">104 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Hard steel<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">0.36<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">6.5 x 10<sup>4<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">14 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Hard steel<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">0.36<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">4.3 x 10<sup>5<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">Yes<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1.2 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Soft steel<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">0.36<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1 x 10<sup>4<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">None<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">247 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Soft steel<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">0.36<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">3.2 x 10<sup>6<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"ts-type\">Yes<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">0.8 x 10<sup>-6<\/sup><\/td><\/tr>\n            <\/tbody>\n          <\/table>\n        <\/div>\n        <p class=\"ts-tcap\">Source: ASM Handbook, Vol. 11, Failure Analysis and Prevention (ASM International), impact wear coefficient values in the article Impact Wear Failures.

In the deformation zone this is work hardening. In the white layer the hardness is a property of the near surface material developed in place, and the layer itself forms through a combination of adhesion, mechanical mixing and diffusion.<\/li>\n          <li>When the metal under the surface is brittle or does not deform, the white layer still forms and the base material stays undeformed. The layer is therefore not evidence that the part was soft or badly treated. It is evidence of repetitive impact, and in the brittle case it sits directly on undeformed metal.<\/li>\n          <li>Cracks appear in some of these structures and not in others, and where they do appear they run through the white layer or along the interface with the deformation zone. Subsurface white layers have also been found at depths of tens to several hundred microns, and a crack running in one of those removes everything between it and the wear surface.<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n        <div class=\"ts-sec\">How the material comes off\n          <span>Five mechanisms are listed in the source, and the contact conditions decide which one is active.

In railway engineering an advanced stage is called shelling.<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <ul class=\"ts-notes-list\">\n          <li>On rolling contacts such as bearing races and gear teeth, pitting begins at the points of maximum Hertzian contact stress and forms small pits of about 0.5 to 1.0 mm across, with the number of stress cycles deciding how far it goes. Larger areas of material loss are called spalling, and they usually start as subsurface fatigue from cyclic rolling contact, which is why the same damage is also called rolling contact fatigue or fatigue wear.<\/li>\n          <li>On striking and struck tools the same removal happens under impact instead of rolling. A spall can also follow a defect rather than a fatigue process, and one of the recorded causes is a quench crack in the tool that later opens into a spall. The way a quench crack is read before it becomes a spall is set out on the <a href=\"https:\/\/aobosteel.com\/quench-cracking-tool-steel\/\">quench cracking page<\/a>.<\/li>\n          <li>Mechanically, the white layer work hardens until microcracks nucleate in it, and those cracks run along the path of least resistance, which is the boundary with the deformation zone beneath.

Railroad striking and struck tools are currently made from grade B steel, and non percussion tools such as claw bars and rail tongs from plain carbon steel.<\/p>\n        <ul class=\"ts-notes-list\">\n          <li>The American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association specification requires the whole head of a sledge hammer or spike maul to be austenitized, quenched and tempered, rather than hardening only the striking end. The field trials in the source ran on whole head treated hammers.<\/li>\n          <li>Hardness specifications for these tools bracket the safe band from below and above. Two of the six allow 60 HRC at the striking face, and the source notes that brittle cleavage fracture starts just beyond that level, which places the upper limit uncomfortably close to the safety boundary. The lower limit is about 50 HRC, reduced to about 45 HRC where the tool can strike another steel tool, because a softer face deforms over a wider area and mushrooms, which is the visible warning that a spall is coming. The reading of a hardness value on a finished tool is covered on the <a href=\"https:\/\/aobosteel.com\/hardness-testing-methods\/\">hardness testing methods page<\/a>.<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n        <div class=\"ts-sec\">What the spalling studies found\n          <span>The source reviews field trials and laboratory fixtures that struck hammer heads against anvils and steel blocks at controlled energies and angles. The findings are summarised below, and the chemistry figures quoted are for reference only.<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"ts-table-wrap\"><table class=\"ts-table\" style=\"min-width:1040px;\">\n            <thead>\n              <tr><th>Finding<\/th><th class=\"ds-text\">Detail<\/th><\/tr>\n            <\/thead>\n            <tbody>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Steel grade across a wide range<\/td><td class=\"ts-long ds-text\">Field trials on hammers covering plain carbon steels, a 1 percent chromium molybdenum grade, a higher alloy 0.65C-1Si-3Ni grade and rim tempered hammers, all inside the specification hardness band, found no significant difference in chipping or in wear rate. Laboratory spalling tests on 1045, 1060, 1072, 1075, 1080, 1552, 9260 and 4340 steel reached the same conclusion.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Hardness limits that are used in practice<\/td><td class=\"ts-long ds-text\">Two of the six specifications allow a striking face up to 60 HRC, which the source describes as very close to the safety limit, because brittle cleavage fracture begins just above it. The lower limit normally sits around 50 HRC, and drops to about 45 HRC where the tool can strike another steel tool. At 45 HRC the tool mushrooms instead of spalling, and the mushrooming is the warning.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Struck tool softer than the striking tool<\/td><td class=\"ts-long ds-text\">Every specification allows the struck face a lower maximum hardness than the striking face. A softer struck tool deforms, which enlarges the contact area and spreads the load, lowering the chance of a spall in the harder tool.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Edge geometry<\/td><td class=\"ts-long ds-text\">Chamfered or radiused edges raise spalling resistance for edge to surface and edge to edge impacts. A radius measured at least equal to a chamfer for small overlaps and better at a 4.8 mm overlap. The tinner setting hammers tested had no chamfer at all, and spalled readily at an angular separation of only 7.5 degrees.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Impact angle<\/td><td class=\"ts-long ds-text\">For edge to surface impacts the spalling window is narrow, centred near 25 degrees. Nail hammers did not spall below about 20 degrees and spalled less often at 35 degrees. No hammer could be made to spall with a flush blow.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"ts-grade\">Work hardening in service<\/td><td class=\"ts-long ds-text\">Strain hardening of a striking face during use raised the hardness by 1.5 to 2.5 points HRC in one field study. Chipping was recorded about once every 200 hammer weeks.<\/td><\/tr>\n            <\/tbody>\n          <\/table>\n        <\/div>\n        <p class=\"ts-tcap\">Source: ASM Handbook, Vol. 11, the conclusions drawn by spalling studies and the tool geometry and impact angle sections of Spalling from Impact Events.
