Quenching heat treatment

Because C-curves are determined by quench-hold-quench sequences they can, strictly speaking, only be used to predict the micro structures that would be produced in a steel subjected to a quench-hold-quench heat treatment. But the curves do give a pretty good indication of the structures to expect in a steel that has been cooled eontinuously. For really accurate predictions, however, eontinuous eooling diagrams are available (see the literature of the major steel manufacturers). [Pg.123]

Austenitic or duplex stanless steels undergo a solution annealing and water quenching heat-treatment. Additionnal heat-treatments such as for stress relief or post weld treatment are also used to eliminate the internal stresses of the material. [Pg.93]

Heat treatment consisted of a solution treatment at 515°C, a water quench, followed by aging at 155°C for 10 h. [Pg.235]

Heat Treatment of Steel. Steels are alloys having up to about 2% carbon in iron plus other alloying elements. The vast application of steels is mainly owing to their ability to be heat treated to produce a wide spectmm of properties. This occurs because of a crystallographic or aHotropic transformation which takes place upon quenching. This transformation and its role in heat treatment can be explained by the crystal stmcture of iron and by the appropriate phase diagram for steels (see Steel). [Pg.236]

Precipitation Heat Treatment. The supersaturated solution produced by the quench from the solution temperature is unstable, and the alloys tend to approach equiUbrium by precipitation of solute. Because the activation energies required to form equiUbrium precipitate phases are higher than those to form metastable phases, the soHd solution decomposes to form G-P zones at room temperature (natural aging). Metastable precursors to the equihbrium phases are formed at the temperatures employed for commercial precipitation heat treatments (artificial aging). [Pg.123]

Extrusion Resins. Extmsion of VDC—VC copolymers is the main fabrication technique for filaments, films, rods, and tubing or pipe, and involves the same concerns for thermal degradation, streamlined flow, and noncatalytic materials of constmction as described for injection-molding resins (84,122). The plastic leaves the extmsion die in a completely amorphous condition and is maintained in this state by quenching in a water bath to about 10°C, thereby inhibiting recrystallization. In this state, the plastic is soft, weak, and pHable. If it is allowed to remain at room temperature, it hardens gradually and recrystallizes partially at a slow rate with a random crystal arrangement. Heat treatment can be used to recrystallize at controlled rates. [Pg.441]

Alpha—beta aluminum alloys respond to heat treatment with a general improvement of mechanical properties. Heat treatment is accompHshed by heating to 815—870°C, quenching in water, and reannealing at 370—535°C, depending on the size and section of the casting. Different combinations of strength, hardness, and ductility can be obtained. Some nickel in aluminum bronze is in soHd solution with the matrix and helps refine the precipitate, and a smaller amount is in the K-intermetaUic compound. [Pg.238]

The figure below shows the isothermal transformation diagram for a coarse-grained, plain-carbon steel of eutectoid composition. Samples of the steel are austenitised at 850°C and then subjected to the quenching treatments shown on the diagram. Describe the microstructure produced by each heat treatment. [Pg.123]

Most other rotor parts in gas turbines are individually forged. This includes compressor wheels, spacers, distance pieces, and stub shafts. All are made from quenched and tempered low-alloy steels (Cr-Mo-V or Ni-Cr-Mo-V) with the material and heat treatment optimized for the specific part. The intent is to achieve the best balance of strength, toughness with ductility, processing and nondestructive evaluation capability, particularly when it is recognized that some... [Pg.427]

Heat treatment by quenching and tempering improves the low temperature ductility of steels such as 0.5 Cr, 0.5% Mo, 1% Ni Type V. For lower-temperature application (below -196°C), up to 9% nickel is used as the sole alloying element. [Pg.67]
