In this article boron steel is analyzed on the example of steel grade B27. In view of the fact that steel is supplied in a state after hot rolling, and the choice of a suitable heat treatment is left to the buyer steel were examined after conventional heat treatments. Steel was studied in state as delivered, after normalization, after quenching and after quenching and tempering at different tem...

This paper reports results of in-house experimentation on heat treatment and mechanical testing of H13 tool steel. Heat treatment strategy practiced by the industry is described in detail. Effect of various types of heat treatment on fracture toughness, hardness and other mechanical properties is also analyzed. It was found that toughness (expressed in terms of plane-strain fracture toughness K...

The present experimental investigations deal with the improvement of mechanical properties of cold work tool steels through different heat treatment processes. An attempt was made to get optimal combination of hardness and toughness through changes of microstructure by heat treatment. The toughness of D2 tool steel increases with tempering temperature. The hardness of D2 tool steel decreases wi...

Water spray cooling is a technique typically used in heat treatment and other metallurgical processes where controlled temperature regimes are required. Water spray cooling is used in static (without movement) or dynamic (with movement of the steel plate) regimes. The static regime is notable for the fixed position of the hot steel plate and fixed spray nozzle. This regime is typical for quench...

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to design heat treatment conditions of dual-phase steel and to determine their influence on the structure and mechanical properties of steel. Design/methodology/approach: The heat treatment of the C-Mn steel in order to obtain a dual-phase ferritic – martensitic structure of desirable phase fractions was realized. To investigate the influence of heat treatment p...

the plain carbon steel “ck45” has relatively well mechanical and metallurgical properties and low cost. the purpose of this research was the property evaluation of this steel on abrasive wear and impact for using in plows and other tillage tools. tillage tool should resist in abrasive wear and impact simultaneously. several heat treatments were done on specimens of this steel. a standard test d...

Twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steels with high manganese percentage (17-35%), are mostly used in automotive bodies. Their microstructure at room temperature is austenitic, and due to the low stacking fault energy, major deformation mechanism in them is twinning inside austenite grains which leads to enhanced mechanical strength in the steel. Due to the important effect of heat treatment pr...

AISI 4340 steel is one of the super strong steels that can be selected for different applications. By designing the proper cycles of heat treatment, the optimum microstructure and properties of this steel can be achieved. In this study, different heat treatment cycles were introduced to achieve the optimum microstructure and improve the mechanical and magnetic properties of AISI 4340 steel. The...
