‌‌‌Fatigue behavior of a vanadium microalloy steel has been studied in this research. Here, microstructure constituents were considered which essentially are dependent on the heat treatment conditions. The results of high cycle fatigue tests revealed that heat treatment procedure and cooling rates have significant effects on fatigue properties. Optimal heat treatment cycle of the microalloyed s...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of quenching and tempering temperatures on the microstructure, mechanical properties and the wear characteristics of medium carbon-high chromium wear resistant steel. In addition, the dominant wear mechanisms were studied. For this purpose, austenitizing and tempering temperatures were selected in the ranges of 900- 1000 °C and 300- 500...

Terms of service of the steels with retained austenite in the microstructure, is severely depended on the stability of austenite during the course of deformation. The present work aims to evaluate the mechanical stability of austenite in nanostructured, carbide free bainitic steels during tensile testing and cold rolling process. To achieve the microstructure with retained austenite, the steel ...

AISI 4340 steel is one of the super strong steels that can be selected for different applications. By designing the proper cycles of heat treatment, the optimum microstructure and properties of this steel can be achieved. In this study, different heat treatment cycles were introduced to achieve the optimum microstructure and improve the mechanical and magnetic properties of AISI 4340 steel. The...

Impact testing methodology is findings the applications for determining the impact strength of the different materials. Oneof the most important characteristics of structural steels, toughness is assessed by the Charpy V-notch impact test. The objective of the research was to maximize the impact toughness by selecting various combinations of Charpy Impact test parameters. In this paper, experim...
