Tool steels Hsted ki Table 13 are commonly used for temperatures above 175°C where hot hardness is requked. M50 tool steel has been widely used, for kistance, for the severe conditions encountered ki akcraft jet engine beatings (42). Figure 2 shows the superior hot hardness of M50 as compared with traditional through-hardened 52100 and case-hardened 4620 steels (39). 

Grinding Abrasion. The suitable alloys range from austenitic manganese steel (which once dominated the field) through hardenable carbon and medium alloy steels to the abrasion-resistant cast irons. 

Many of our current technical innovations in mechanical weed control can trace their development from earlier forms of the same tillage device. Even the plows and cultivators used through the 1900s tended to be little more than large, hardened steel replacements of the wooden tools used centuries earlier. On the other hand, herbicides radically changed agricultural production within a few years of their introduction. Novel application equipment is now required by the herbicide user, as is the knowledge to use each new herbicide product effectively. 

Metal powder-coated, through-hardened materials - these materials have been found useful when an alloy does not provide adequate forged quality and for cast materials with specific casting problems. Very fine and very even carbide distribution throughout the entire component offers economically viable (in production terms) and effective wear resistance (temperable matrix with high carbide content). Preferred materials include vanadium-alloyed tool steels. 

Through-hardened design especially for housing with several feed ports, e.g., made of wear-resistant tool steel or wear- and corrosion-resistant chrome steel. This design is often constrained by the size of the component because heat treatment can cause stress cracks in cross sections with thick walls.

Consider the absorption of oxygen from air in the aeration of a lake or the sohd surface diffusion in the hardening of mild steel in a carburizing atmosphere. Both these processes involve diffusion in a semi-infinite medium. Assume that a semi-infinite medium has a uniform initial concentration of CAo and is subjected to a constant surface concentration of CAs. Derive the equation for the concentration profiles for a preheated piece of mild steel with an initial concentration of 0.02 wt% carbon. This mild steel is subjected to a carburizing atmosphere for 2 h, and the surface concentration of carbon is 0.7%. If the diffusivity of carbon through the steel is 1 X 10 11 m2/s at the process temperature and pressure, estimate the carbon composition at 0.05 cm below the surface. 

The cold pressing is carried out in hardened steel dies. The carbide powder is first mixed with 0.5-5% of binder lubricants, such as paraffin, camphor, Carbowax, cetyl alcohol, or beeswax dissolved in nonaqueous inert solvents such as benzene, isopropyl alcohol, or methyl alcohol. The bonded carbide powder is granulated by forcing through a screen and then loaded into the dies. The density of the cold-pressed pellets may be as high as 80% of theoretical, and the sintered pellets may be densified to 90% of theoretical. The optimum sintering condition is 1800°C for 4 h.
