Abstract
In this investigation hot rolled steel bars of 1.24 weight % carbon steel are subjected to incomplete austenitization based cyclic quenching treatment. Each cycle consists of inserting the specimen in an electric resistance furnace at a temperature of 894 °C and holding for a short duration (6 minutes), followed by oil quenching to the room temperature. Such a typical thermal cycling results in the evolution of a novel microstructure that comprises of large clusters and blocks of cementite in a matrix of martensite after 3 and 4 cycles. Accordingly, a significantly high hardness (7.13 GPa) is achieved on execution of 3 cycles which envisages a new pathway of incomplete austenitization based cyclic quenching treatment for development of new-generation plain carbon hypereutectoid tool steel.
期刊介绍:
Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik provides fundamental and practical information for those concerned with materials development, manufacture, and testing.
Both technical and economic aspects are taken into consideration in order to facilitate choice of the material that best suits the purpose at hand. Review articles summarize new developments and offer fresh insight into the various aspects of the discipline.
Recent results regarding material selection, use and testing are described in original articles, which also deal with failure treatment and investigation. Abstracts of new publications from other journals as well as lectures presented at meetings and reports about forthcoming events round off the journal.
