چکیده
In this study, the hardness and wear behaviour of carburized and boronized AISI 8620 steels have been studied. The boronizing treatment increased the hardness of AISI 8620 steels from 395 HV0.1 to a maximal 1610 HV0.1 compared to the carburized steels and also significantly improved its wear behaviour. From obtained results, it can be concluded that boronizing is very effective surface hardening method for improving the wear properties of AISI 8620 steels.

PHASE TRANSFORMATION DURING WEAR OF AISI STAINLESS STEEL 316
Abstract: Austenitic stainless steels exhibit a low hardness and weak tribological properties. The wear behaviour of austenitic stainless steel AISI 316 was evaluated through the pin on disc tribological method. For investigating the effect of wear on the changes in microstructure and resistance to wear, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscope were used. The hardness of the worn...
متن کاملMechanical Properties of Boronized AISI 316, AISI 1040, AISI 1045 and AISI 4140 Steels
In this study, some mechanical properties of borided and unborided four steels were investigated. Boronizing of steels was performed by powder pack method at 1210 K for 4 h. The hardness of borides, boride layer thickness and room temperature tensile properties were measured and it was observed that hardness and tensile properties strongly depend on chemical composition of steels. In addition, ...
متن کاملTransverse Hardness Photothermal Phase Imaging and Depth-profilometry of Heat Treated Steels
A method to image near-surface hardness profiles of heat-treated case-hardened steels using laser infrared photothermal radiometric phase imaging is described. It is shown that thermophysical and mechanical transverse inhomogeneity profiles in industrial case hardened steel samples are well correlated. Phase surface scanning imaging leads to a practical criterion for assessing transverse hardne...
