CA6NM

CA6NM

(OP)
Hi,
Could anybody help me to find CA6NM steel TTT diagram?
I look in Heat treaters guide and I cant find it?  

RE: CA6NM

Try F6NM (forged): there will be some differences, but there are also differences between heats of CA6NM. It has very good hardenability, but in my opinion, a complex response to HT. (MAY respond to double tempering, cryogenic cooling , etc).

You can see the ttt curve. Being a soft martensitic steel,fast air cooling followed by double tempering is the normal practice.

RE: CA6NM

CA-6NM has good hardenability to essentially unlimited thickness, but it is sensitive to compositional differences: the final hardness is extremely sensitive to carbon content, and nickel is an important actor in depressing the Ms temperature.  I searched my documents but could not find either a TTT or CCT diagram.  

A lot of the general literature makes the mistake of lumping it in with other 400-based martensitics when talking about heat treatment, welding, and PWHT of CA-6NM.  It is a unique alloy in many respects.

We tempered our casting in 680 C. Is the retain austenite harmful for mechanical properties?
I need TTT diagram for CA6NM Cast steel.

RE: CA6NM

Brinstoner, yes! Thats what I was trying to say, more data in ASTM ATP 756,and  it is the only alloy that MR 01-75 allows non-standard hardness conversion. Lidbasky; you may need a metallurgist.

I am metallurgist but I need TTT diagram for finding Ms & Mf .....

RE: CA6NM

(OP)
Is retain austenite in CA6NM harmful when part working in high temprature?

RE: CA6NM

No. The problem is upon cooling from high service temperature to lower temperature and the transformation to unptempered (new)martensite.

RE: CA6NM

Let me revise what I stated moments ago... if the component is continually operating where creep deformation is a concern, retained austenite would certainly be a problem as well as elevated temperature strength properties.

RE: CA6NM

(OP)
Thank you for your reply Metengr. I get the diagram that Arunmrao give its link, but its carbon content is very low about 0.02%.I need some reliable document about TTT diagram to disscuse with my purchaser. I studied Atlas of TTT diagrams but i couldnt find it.
