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

Abstract:

Variation in chemical composition is one the most important parameters that affects the microstructure and mechanical properties of powder metallurgical (PM) steel parts. Therefore, utilization of nondestructive methods to determine the chemical composition and microstructural/mechanical properties of a given PM steel sample could be a subject of importance.

Abstract:

The present paper aims to enhance the accuracy of surface hardness and case depth measurement of induction hardened steel parts using statistical modeling methods and electromagnetic nondestructive techniques. In this research, to create various hardened layers with different thicknesses, eight different conditions of induction hardening treatments have been performed on cylindrical AISI 1045 steel samples.

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).

Abstract:

In nondestructive evaluation -NDE- of heat-treated steels, different variables of the heat treating process have complex effects on outputs of NDE methods, and hence, the effect of one desired variable on NDE outputs should be evaluated to help interpreting the changes. Read more

Abstract:

It is accepted that work-hardening of Hadfield steels during plastic deformation results in the formation of mechanical twinning, which, in turn, varies the mechanical properties up to a certain depth below the surface. Read more
