Duplex Hardening of Steels for Aeroengine Bearings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Duplex hardening is a process in which conventional heat-treatments such as secondary or case hardening are followed up by surface nitriding to achieve exceptional properties, particularly in the context of aeroengine bearings. Hardness values in excess of 1 000 HV can in principle be achieved, and although the hardness decreases as a function of depth below the surface, some level of enhancement can occur to a depth of up to 0.2 mm. The process can be applied to both through hardened and case hardened bearing steels such as M50 and M50NiL respectively, with concomitant increases in rolling contact fatigue resistance and tribological properties. The process has not yet been universally adopted and is ripe for a critical assessment.

In this research the effect of initial microstructure on hot deformation behavior in terms of Ferrite-to-Austenite ratios is studied. Two types of stainless steels C1 and C2 were homogenizing heat-treated and deformed under hot compression examinations at temperatures 900ºC and 1100ºC at strain rate of 0.1s-1. The results showed that the flow stress levels of specimens are strongly r...

متن کاملEFFECT OF SILICON CONTENT ON THE STRAIN HARDENING OF DUAL-PHASE STEELS
Abstract: In the current work, the strain hardening behavior of dual-phase steels with different silicon content (0.34- 2.26 Wt. %) was examined using the modified Crussard-Jaoul analysis. It was shown that these dual-phase steels deform in two stages over a uniform strain range. Each stage exhibited a different strain hardening exponent varying with silicon content. At the first stage, work...
