  1. 1. Austenite grain growth in bearing steels : An investigation on steel grades 100Cr6 and 100 CRMnMoSi8-4-6

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Erik Persson; [2014]
    Keywords : Grain growth; Grain size;

    Abstract : An investigation of austenite grain growth of two bearing steel grades; 100Cr6 and100CrMnMoSi8-4-6 is performed. Austenitization treatments were performed between 860°C and 1200 °C for 5 minutes to 5 hours and the grain size was determined for each sample.Grain boundary etching was carried out using a water based, picric-acid etchant.

  3. 2. Development of a heat treatment method to form a duplex microstructure of lower bainite and martensite in AISI 4140 stee

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Erik Claesson; [2014]
    Keywords : AISI 4140; 326C; 326F; Isothermal heat treatment; Martensite; Bainite; Molten salt; vacuum furnace; gas quenching.;

    Abstract : Research on bainite and martensite structures has indicated that lower bainite needles have a refining effect on the lath martensitic structure. Lower bainte needles partitions prior austenite grains and will consequently have a refining effect on the subsequent formed lath martensite. READ MORE

  4. 3. The effect of prior austenite grain size on the machinability of a pre-hardened mold steel. : Measurement of average grain size using experimental methods and empirical models.

    Abstract : The use of pre-hardened mold steels has increased appreciably over the years; more than 80% of the plastic mold steels are used in pre-hardened condition. These steels are delivered to the customer in finished state i.e. there is no need of any post treatment. READ MORE
