An Assessment of Mechanical Properties of Medium Carbon Steel under Different Quenching Media
نویسنده
چکیده
The mechanical properties of medium carbon steel (0.36C) were investigated under two different quenching media (water and palm oil). The properties are: the strengths, impact and hardness of the material. The investigations centered on unheat treated, normalized; water and palm oil quenched, and tempered conditions. The tempering temperature is 200°C. An AISI steel of grade C1035 was used for comparison of the properties. Result indicated that water quenched steel produced its best properties in strength and hardness, while palm oil quenched steel has its best property in impact strength.

A Study on the Mechanical Properties of Dual Phase Steels Prepared by the Direct and Step Quenching Procedure
Two different dual phase steels were prepared from low carbon manganese steel after the elimination of the banding using the direct quenching (DQ) and the step quenching (SQ) procedures. Different heat treatments resulted in different martensite morphologies, microstructures and mechanical properties. The heat treatments were designed in such a way to obtain a 0.25 volume fraction of martensite...
