Abstract
Temperature has a significant impact on the properties and structures of materials. This research used boriding and subsequent induction hardening and tempering of AISI 1045 medium carbon steel rod samples in order to improve the hardness of the surface layer. Induction coils are used to add boron paste components to the steel rods' surfaces. Testing is used to assess the hardness and microstructure of the treated steel rods. A total of 30 samples are tested at different temperatures, dwell durations, and feed rates to determine the hardness of the treated specimens. As part of the tempering process, Taguchi Optimization is carried out in a furnace to determine the best parameter values for eliminating internal stresses. Two types of instruments are utilised to examine materials for their chemical composition as well as their microstructure: the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and the Optical Microscope. As a result of the emergence of martensitic structures, hardness values have risen. Lower hardness values are obtained at temperatures between 800 °C and 850 °C, whereas 690 HV is the maximum hardness measured at 1208 °C. Increased temperature increases AISI 1045 steel's surface hardness, according to lab testing. According to the compared results, AISI 1045 steel that has been boron and induction treated has a higher hardness value than AISI 1045 steel that has been induction treated.
期刊介绍:
Periodico di Mineralogia is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal publishing Research Articles, Letters and Reviews in Mineralogy, Crystallography, Geochemistry, Ore Deposits, Petrology, Volcanology and applied topics on Environment, Archaeometry and Cultural Heritage. The journal aims at encouraging scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Accordingly, there is no restriction on article length. Additional data may be hosted on the web sites as Supplementary Information. The journal does not have article submission and processing charges. Colour is free of charges both on line and printed and no Open Access fees are requested. Short publication time is assured.
Periodico di Mineralogia is property of Sapienza Università di Roma and is published, both online and printed, three times a year.
