Abstract

The wear behaviour of AISI 431 stainless steel was examined under a dry sliding touch at compatible load with the vacuum tempering cycle. The method adopted was found to be effective in enhancing the wear conduct of stainless steel products, there by advancing the pliability quality. For the sample, vacuum tempering (VT) procedure for (VT1) 2 hours, (VT2) 4 hours and (VT3) 6 hours respectively, a low temperature heat procedure was performed. Untreated stainless steel was used as a kind of viewpoint tool for contrast with specific hardening samples and observed wear check. The hardening samples expose those moulded hard layers which improve the hardness of the surface. Predictions of small scale hardness showed a significant change in hardness during diagnosis. This operation improves the hardness of the material to up to 150 percent. For wear inspection, a pin on the disc drive is used to assess wear failure. The layers were observed by optical lens magnification and examination under electron magnifying lens.

Highlights

  • Resistance to corrosion and stainless steels, low maintenance, fairly inexpensive and natural lustre make it a suitable base material for a range of industrial applications. While these stainless steels make up a small percentage of the total amount of steel made, they are of technical and economic significance as they are the primary products for the oil, coal, process, and power industries

  • In order to arrive at an ideal heat treatment technique for a sensible combination of stiffness and tensile properties, recent research findings and study results of mechanical tests were carried out on various heat-medium carbon steel samples. [2,3,4] These samples were subjected to several heat treatment processes at various temperatures, consisting of full annealing, hardening, quenching and tempering of the oil

  • In order to arrive at an ideal heat treatment technique for a sensible combination of toughness and tensile properties, recent research studies and analyses of mechanical test findings were carried out on various heattreated medium carbon steel samples [10, 11]

Summary

Introduction

Resistance to corrosion and stainless steels, low maintenance, fairly inexpensive and natural lustre make it a suitable base material for a range of industrial applications. In order to arrive at an ideal heat treatment technique for a sensible combination of toughness and tensile properties, recent research studies and analyses of mechanical test findings were carried out on various heattreated medium carbon steel samples [10, 11]. Mechanical properties such as degree of hardness and tensile between three forms, lowest stiffness of the oil quenching sample and lowest elongation of the annealed sample. Mechanical properties such as degree of hardness and tensile between three forms, lowest stiffness of the oil quenching sample and lowest elongation of the annealed sample. [12] This is how heat treatment plays a major role in the mechanical properties of modern steel and its corrosion resistance
