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...

This paper deals with the plane strain 2D Finite Element (FE) modeling of segmented, as well as continuous chip formation while machining AISI 4340 with a negative rake carbide tool. The main objective is to simulate both the continuous and segmented chips from the same FE model based on FE code ABAQUS/Explicit. Both the adiabatic and coupled temperature displacement analysis have been performe...

The use of multilayer coated carbide tool in hard turning has several advantages over grinding process such as; reduction of processing costs, increased productivity, short cycle time, compatible surface roughness and less enviornment problems without the use of cutting fluid. In the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the performance of multilayer coated carbide inserts during ...

CNC Turning is basically a material removal process done to obtain the desired diameter. Even though the machine tool industry has made tremendous progress, the metal cutting industries using various machine tools continue to suffer from major drawback of not utilizing the machine tools at their full potential. A major cause leading to such a situation is thought to be the failure to run the ma...

Current study reported a facile method to investigate the effects of stacking sequence layers of hybrid composite materials on ballistic energy absorption by running the ballistic test at the high velocity ballistic impact conditions. The velocity and absorbed energy were accordingly calculated as well. The specimens were fabricated from Kevlar, carbon, and glass woven fabrics and resin and wer...

The performance of coated inserts was described using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) when turning AISI 4340 alloy steel using single layer PVD and triple layer CVD coated inserts. Cutting tests were performed under dry cutting conditions so as to reduce the effects of cooling agents on the environment. Surface roughness (Ra) was the main response variable investigated. The experimental plan...

High speed machining (HSM) may produces parts with substantially higher fatigue strength; increased subsurface micro-hardness and plastic deformation, mostly due to the ploughing of the round cutting tool edge associated with induced stresses, and can have far more superior surface properties than surfaces generated by grinding and polishing. Cutting edge roundness may induce stress and tempera...

Additive technologies provide a means for repair of various failure modes associated with material degradation occurring during use in aggressive environments. Possible strategies AISI 4340 steel using 316L deposited by additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) were evaluated under this research metallography, microhardness, and wear mechanical testing. Two geometries investigated: groove-fillin...
