Abstract

High strength steels are used for important components such as rolling bearings, for which surface treatments such as induction and carburized hardenings are applied. Strength designs for these components require material properties at the local areas, since the material properties are different at the treated locations. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the local mechanical properties of high strength steels by the dual indenter method. Nondimensional П function is developed for 118 degree trigonal pyramid indenter using finite element method. Dual-indenter method is conducted by indenters with the apex angles of 115 and 118 degrees for JIS-SUJ2 and JIS-SUJ3. The results reveal that good agreements are achieved between stress-strain curves of tensile testing and those of the dual-indenter method. The local mechanical properties are evaluated by the dual-indenter method for induction-hardened and carburized components. There are some differences in stress strain curves at the locations of the components by the influence of the heat treatments.
