Nondestructive detection of Microstructural Changes due to the Grinding Burn Using Electromagnetic Probes

Journal: Iranian Journal of Manufacturing Engineering

Publication date: 24 April 2021

Abstract:

Grinding burn is one of the most significant problems in grinding process with uncontrolled conditions and degrades the mechanical properties and performance of the part. The aim of the present study is to non-destructively evaluate the grinding burn phenomenon in steel parts. The parameters of the grinding process were changed to produce microstructural changes with different burn grades on the surface of steel parts. The results obtained from microscopic observations and micro-hardness tests revealed the occurrence of two types of burns including thermal softening (surface tempering) and re-hardening (formation of a hard white layer on the surface) burns.

Characterization of Hadfield Steels Subjected to Various Heat-Treating Processes by Nondestructive Eddy Current Method

Journal: Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing

Publication date: 23 December 2019

Abstract:

A nondestructive eddy current method has been used to characterize microstructural features of Hadfield steels subjected to various conditions of heat treatment. The heat treatment parameters including quenching media (furnace, air, and water) and tempering temperatures (in the range of 200–600°C) were varied to obtain different microstructures. Read more

Non-destructive determination of microstructural/mechanical properties and thickness variations in API X65 steel using magnetic hysteresis loop and artificial neural networks

Journal: Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation

Publication date: 05 Sep 2019

Abstract:

in this paper, a combination of non-destructive magnetic technique and artificial neural networks is introduced, firstly, to ensure that the heat treatment process applied to a given API X65 steel sample results in desired microstructure and mechanical properties and secondly, to determine thickness variation which may occurs as a result of corrosion effect. To evaluate the effects of microstructure/mechanical properties and thickness variations on magnetic parameters, the magnetic hysteresis loop method has been applied on API X65 steel specimens with the thicknesses of 1–4 mm, each subjected to four different heat-treating cycles (austenitised samples were cooled in furnace, air, oil and water).
