Effect of Heat Treatment on Mechanical Properties of H13 Steel

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...

Prediction of Heat Treatment Distortion of Cast Steel C-rings

Navy C-Ring test parts were made of AISI 1022, 4320, 8625, and CF8M steels and heat treated in a designed experiment to evaluate the commercial heat treatment distortion simulation software DANTE. The parts were machined and then measured with a CMM for original dimensions. The parts were then heated and subsequently quenched in two different immersion orientations in agitated water. Temperatur...

Heat treatment of high manganese type X57MnAl27-5 austenitic steel

In the paper, the influence of heat treatment parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of high manganese type X57MnAl27-5 austenitic steel was investigated. The as-forged bar with diameter of 15 mm were underwent a saturation process at six different temperatures. The microstructural changes of austenite and the influence of heat treatment on the mechanical properties were conside...

Effect of heat treatment on stainless steel orthodontic wires.

This study evaluated the effect of heat treatment on CrNi stainless steel orthodontic archwires. Half of forty archwires of each thickness - 0.014" (0.35 mm), 0.016" (0.40 mm), 0.018" (0.45 mm) and 0.020" (0.50 mm) (totalling 160 archwires) - were subjected to heat treatment while the remainder were not. All of the archwires had their individual thickness measured in the anterior and posterior ...
