The aim of this paper was to study the effects of die life through shot peening treatments on AISI H13 steel, and tests were performed to study the influential parameters of the shot peening process. To evaluate the effects of microstructure and the die life of AISI H13 steel after steel shot peening processes, we conducted and evaluated roughness tests, micro hardness and wear tests, and SEM m...

Hot work tool steel (AISI H13) and high speed steel (AISI M3:2) powders were successfully co-sintered to produce hybrid tool steels that have properties and microstructures that can be modulated for specific applications. To promote co-sintering, which is made difficult by the various densification kinetics of the two steels, the particle sizes and structures were refined by mechanical milling ...

In this study, 3-D finite element modeling of precision hard turning has been used to investigate the effects of cutting edge microgeometry on tool forces, temperatures and stresses in machining of AISI H13 steel using polycrystalline cubic boron nitrite (PCBN) inserts with two distinct edge preparations. Hard turning experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of cutting edge geometr...

This paper focuses on understanding the influence of laser milling process parameters on the final geometrical and surface quality of micro-channel features fabricated on AISI H13 steel. Optimal selection of process parameters is highly critical for successful material removal and high dimensional and surface quality for micro-sized die/mold applications. A set of designed experiments is carrie...

In this study, the effects of cutting edge geometry, workpiece hardness, feed rate and cutting speed on surface roughness and resultant forces in the finish hard turning of AISI H13 steel were experimentally investigated. Cubic boron nitrite inserts with two distinct edge preparations and throughhardened AISI H13 steel bars were used. Four-factor (hardness, edge geometry, feed rate and cutting ...

Wear losses have a great importance in the world machinery industry. They cause billions of dollars financial every year. Studies on surface treatments are increasing day by order to minimize wear materials. In this study, pack boronizing process was applied AISI 4140 and H13 steels, which frequently used manufacturing molding industry, using Ekabor II powder at 900 °C 950 for 4 6 hours. Micros...

The objective of this paper is to determine the optimal setting of the process parameters on the electro-discharge machining (EDM) machine while machining AISI H13 tool steel. The parameters considered are pulse current, pulse-on-time, pulse-off-time and gap voltage ; whereas the responses are Tool wear ratio (TWR) and material removal rate (MRR). The optimal setting of the parameters are deter...
