Hadfield steel
Hadfield steel
(OP)
Hello,
I have a chain consists of weld joint of hadfield steel and Cr-Mo-Ni steel. I would like to carburize this material (900-920°C). Next process will be a quenching (840 - 860°C/water) and a tempering (180-200°C). What do you think, is it possible to do it without cracks or lowering the mechanical properties (thoughness)? Thanks

If improving wear resistance is your need, instead of carburizing you may consider hard facing.
Normally 8620 grade is a popular material for chain links which can be carburized to about 1 mm case depth and then hardened and tempered.

This is really strange stuff, you need to get an exact chemistry and do some reading.
