Carbonitriding of four types of steels, namely, low carbon steel (LCS), medium carbon steel (MCS), low alloy steel (LAS) and high alloy steel (HAS) was achieved using cyanide salt bath heat treatment process. The steels, after preheating, were heated in a diesel fired salt bath heat treatment furnace and then quickly quenched in different media including air, oil and brine. The heat treatment p...

In this article boron steel is analyzed on the example of steel grade B27. In view of the fact that steel is supplied in a state after hot rolling, and the choice of a suitable heat treatment is left to the buyer steel were examined after conventional heat treatments. Steel was studied in state as delivered, after normalization, after quenching and after quenching and tempering at different tem...

Grade 91 steel pipe was replaced after about 30 months of service. In this paper, the tensile properties, microhardness and chemical composition pipeline are systematically tested analyzed. The results show that properties still meet requirements relevant standards.

This study examines the effect of heat treatment at three different temperatures of 800 ̊C, 950 ̊C and 1100 ̊C on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low-alloy steel with an addition of manganese, chrome and lead. To determine an impact of the applied heat treatment operations, testing of mechanical properties and microstructural examinations of the steel with 0.23%, 0.24%, 0.29% and 0...

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 stee...

The structural behavior fire-resistant steel is essential; fire-resistant steel is proven to have higher strength at elevated temperature than that of conventional steel. Also, the requirement of fire protection in the fire-resisting steel can be relaxed as compared with conventional steel structures. However, the design criteria for the application of the fire-resisting steel in steel columns ...
