Chromium 3.27
Carbon 0.41
Molybdenmum 0.96
Manganese 0.54
Ni .22, Si .21, V .19, Cu .25, Al .02
Remainder is iron
What is this grade? I have looked through all my referrence books, no luck with the chromium content.
Thanks in advance
Alphatizing, developed in the US prior to 1964, is a type of Chromizing. Google (and other) searches come up with a lot of foreign language hits which are no help to me. Does anybody alphatize or hard chromize in the states? This is NOT hard chrome plating, but rather a diffusion process...
What type of Fire Extinguishers do Heat Treaters typically have on hand? I have seen ABC dry chem, halon, and CO2 at various places I have worked. I note that ABC dry chem puts the fire out, but that the fire relights, like a joke birthday candle, the stream of extinguishing dust is stopped...
What effect on UTS and fatigue properties of heat treated steel(50 HRC)does chromizing have? I believe the steps are hard chromize, harden, then temper to 50 HRC. The alloy is either plain carbon steel or low alloy carbon steel. I am curious about boronizing as well.
Man, I love 1144 questions. As usual, everyone that is not a metallurgist wants to use it for everything. I have induction hardened, flame hardened, marquenched, austempered (!), oil and water quenched, fixture tempered, carburized, unameitidunit. It just machines so well and is much cheaper...
What is the ductility of 52100 tempered (after quenching) at various temperatures? I am looking for a published chart if possible. Also, would marquenching vs oil quenching have an impact on ductility?
