Local hardness increasing on the surface of the power plant rotor may result in severe damages. One major solution for rapid repairing of the rotors is the adaptive tempering heat treatment. For this purpose, after identification of the damaged rotor, initial investigations and tests (such as visual inspection, chemical analysis, nondestructive hardness measurements and replica or on-site metal...

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...

Modelling of technological processes of heat treatment or welding, involving multiple heat source transitions, requires considering the phenomenon of tempering. In work have been presented results of dilatometric research of hardened C45 steel subjected to tempering. The analysis of the infl uence of heating rate at the kinetic determined from dilatometric curves has been made. There have also ...

to investigate the effect of tempering treatment on mechanical properties and the microstructure ofdin 1.4021 martensitic stainless steel, austenite treatment was conducted for the samples at 1000ºc temperature for 60 min and then the samples were oil quenched. later, tempering treatments wereperformed for the samples at 500 ºc and 700 ºc temperatures for 2 and 5 h, respectively; then quenching...

Mechanical properties of dissimilar weld joints between GOST09ch16N4B (a martensitic stainless steel) and AISI 4130 thin sheets made by gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) were studied using ER410NiMo and ER100S-G filler metals in post weld heat treated conditions. Heat treatment cycles consisted of austenitization at 900, 950 and 1000 °C for 1 h and this was followed by oil cooling and tempering a...

This experimental study investigated the effects of quenching and tempering heat treatment on fatigue behavior and also tempering temperature and time holding of AISI 1060 steel. At first, the specimens were austenitized at 800˚C for 1 hour, and then were quenched in the water bath of 25˚C temperature. After that, tempering process was done at the temperature of 250˚C, 450˚C and 650˚C for 1 and...

We report an attempt at increasing the thermal stability of nanocrystalline bainite to tempering heat-treatments, by enhancing the silicon concentration of the alloy. Validation experiments have been conducted using synchrotron X-radiation during tempering heat treatment. It is found that the change in alloying successfully stabilises the austenite at elevated temperatures by retarding cementit...
