This work presents the effect of various wear environments like 20% soil & 80% sand and 40% soil & 60% sand on as received and carburized mild steel sample at different load like 75N, 200N & 375N and at different tempering temperature like 200oC, 250oC & 300oC. The mild steel sample was carburized at 950oC. The heat treatment after carburization has been acknowledge that at some instant it impr...

structural steels with very high strength levels are often referred to as ultrahigh-strength steels (uhss). the usage of uhss has been extensively studied in aerospace industries and offshore platforms. in this study, medium carbon low alloy steel (ams6305) was thermomechanicaly treated to obtain an ultra-high strength bainitic steel for aircraft engine compressor disk. a novel themomechanical ...

Steel containing 0.03% carbon, 1.35% copper and 0.84% nickel had yield strength in the 540-625 MPa (78-90 Ksi) range depending on thickness, ultimate tensile strength in the 625-690 MPa (90100 Ksi) range, and 25-30% elongation when air cooled after hot rolling. No brittle heat-affected zone was formed during manual or automatic submerged arc welding without pre-heating or postheating. The fract...

the microstructure of hp stainless steel in aged and aged + solution annealed conditions and solutionized alloy 800 was characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (sem), and transmission electron microscopy (tem) equipped by eds. all phases present in the above condition were described. the effects of solution annealing heat treatment temperature on the microstructure, te...

the quenching and partitioning (q&p;) process is a new heat treatment cycle to produce the third generation of advanced high strength steels based on diffusion of carbon from martensite to retained austenite phase. the application of this process for various steels leads to a remarkable combination of mechanical properties including high strength and good ductility. using this process in automo...

low stacking fault energy face centered cubic (fcc) materials contain characteristic defect structures. stackingfault tetrahedral are one of those rare structures that occur under special experimental conditions. for the first time,stacking fault tetrahedral were observed in fe-30mn-3al-3si twinning induced plasticity (twip) steel. theirpresence resulted from a quenching heat treatment.

We report a computational 'alloy by design' approach which can significantly accelerate the design process and substantially reduce the development costs. This approach allows simultaneously optimization of alloy composition and heat treatment parameters based on the integration of thermodynamic, thermo-kinetics and a genetic algorithm optimization route. Novel steel compositions and associated...
