Abstract:

Two nondestructive electromagnetic/magnetic techniques including hysteresis loop and eddy current methodologies have been used to characterize microstructural changes of AISI D2 cold work tool steel as a result of quench and tempering treatments. To measure the fraction retained austenite in quenched microstructure, six specimens were austenitized in the range  of 1000-1130 °C. Samples austenitized at 1080 °C were also tempered in the range of  200-650 °C for characterization by eddy current and magnetic hysteresis loop outputs, nondestructively. Impedance point movement and maximum differential permeability were measured as a function of austenitizing/tempering temperature to characterize the microstructural features. The study shows that there are good correlations between microstructural variations detected by destructive methods (hardness, XRD and microscopic observation) and outputs of the nondestructive techniques.

Fatigue Life of Graphite Powder Mixing Electrical Discharge Machining AISI D2 Tool Steel

The present paper deals with the design of experimental work matrices for two groups of experiments by using Response surface methodology (RSM). The first EDM group was dealt with the use of kerosene dielectric alone, while the second was treated by adding the graphite micro powders mixing to dielectric fluid (PMEDM). The total heat flux generated and fatigue lives after EDM and PMEDM models we...

Prediction of Tool Life in End Milling of Hardened Steel AISI D2

Most published research works on the development of tool life model in machining of hardened steels have been mainly concerned with the turning process, whilst the milling process has received little attention due to the complexity of the process. Thus, the aim of present study is to develope a tool life model in end milling of hardened steel AISI D2 using PVD TiAlN coated carbide cutting tool....

Hot Forming of Aisi A2 Tool Steel

In order to optimize the hot forming process of tool steels, further improvement of flow stress prediction and additional knowledge on hot deformability, especially at lower and upper limits of the hot working range, are required. The hot working ranges for these steels are very narrow as a consequence of the role of alloying elements, which form carbides. Carbides improve tool steel’s hardenab...

On machining of hardened AISI D2 steel with PCBN tools

This paper describes an experimental investigation on machining of a difficult-to-cut material, AISI D2 steel of hardness 62 HRC with PCBN tools. It was found that the most feasible feeds and speeds fall in the ranges 0.08–0.20 mm/rev and 70–120 m/min, respectively and that most of the tested PCBN tools reached the end of life mainly due to flank wear. The highest acceptable values of tool life...

Microstructural Properties of Semisolid Welded Joints for AISI D 2 Tool Steel

The aim of this study is to investigate experimentally the microstructural evolution of the joints using ledeburitic AISI D2 Tool Steel parts. The application of a new process of the semisolid joining of two parts of AISI D2 cold-work tool steel is proposed using a partial remelting method. Samples were heated in an argon atmosphere up to 1300°C and held for 10 minutes. Metallographic analyses ...
