Effect of Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of SAE 1025 Steel: Analysis by one-way ANOVA
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of heat treatment at 850 o Con the microstructure and mechanical properties of SAE 1025 carbon steel has been studied. Annealing, normalizing and age-hardening heat-treatments at 850 o C were used for the experimental work. Hardness tests, tensile tests and metallography were carried out on the heat-treated and control samples. The results were further analyzed using the one-way ANOVA test. Results obtained showed significant differences in the microstructure and mechanical properties of the different heat-treated samples. The hardness profile determined using a Brinell ball indenter showed decrease in hardness of the heat-treated samples when compared with the control. A microstructure of enhanced quality was obtained with normalizing heat-treatment. A higher tensile strength of 313.55MPa was obtained with annealing heat treatment in comparison to age-hardening (212.94MPa), normalizing (167.79MPa) and the control test (269.12MPa). ANOVA test confirmed the results at 90% confidence and further showed that there was significant difference amid the four test conditions.
