heat treatment‚ the specimen can be converted to a variety of microstructures including soft and ductile spheroidite to hard and brittle martensite. The production of pearlitic and bainitic steels is lower in cost and suffices for most applications. Martensitic steels must be tempered prior to use due to their extreme brittleness. Pearlite‚ Bainite and Martensite will all be produced through variations in the cooling rates of initially austenized samples. The second experiment involved in the study

overview of the characteristics of SMA is presented. The shape memory effect (SME) and pseudoelasticity‚ two major properties of SMA associated with the thermal-induced or stress-induced reversible hysteretic phase transformation between austenite and martensite‚ are reviewed. These unique properties enable SMA to be used as actuators‚ passive energy dissipators and dampers for civil structure control. This paper then reviews current research using SMA-based devices for passive‚ semi-active or active control

4140 Steel The first metal sample that will be discussed is 4140 steel. This sample was subject to multiple heat treatment processes that included quenching‚ normalizing‚ full annealing‚ and tempering. The micrographs of the heat treated samples can be seen below in Figure 2.

Shape Memory Metal The goal of the experiment was to heat the shape memory alloy to see if the metal will revert back to its original shape. In order to do so I needed a hair dryer with a low and high setting‚ and a shape memory paperclip. How I went to test this was I took the paper clip‚ straightened it out‚ and then heated the paper clip with the blow dryer. In order to obtain accurate results‚ I needed to do four trials with the blow dryer on the high setting‚ and one trial with the blow

must be controlled so as not to cause gradients between surface with core part which will degrade the quality of the product. Austenite phase is reached after further cooling or quenching is done quickly by using the media of water or oil so that martensite phase or cementit incentives that are hard. After the process is done‚ subsequent tempering process is done or the reheating temperature under austenisasi so that previous material very brittle‚ in particular on the process of tempering temperature

obtain desirable strength and hardness by austenitizing the steel and then quenching it to form martensitic structure. After fully converting to martensitic‚ steels are tempered to achieve right amount of ductility and hardness. The ability to form martensite on quenching is called hardenability. Both hardness and hardenability solely depends on the composition of metal and the geometry of specimen. In this experiment‚ the specimen (X-10) is heated above the austenitizing temperature and then quenched

and form martensite during quenching. Hardenability indicates the depth of hardness which is obtained from quenching process‚ and it is very important to the components of machine especially tool steel. One of the methods to determine the hardenability of steels is Jominy End-Quench Test. Hardening usually involves quenching where the steel is heated to austenite phase and fast cooling in the quench medium such as water‚ oil‚ salt solution‚ or air to produce microstructure of martensite. The martensite

The Iron-Carbon Diagram There are two iron-carbon equilibrium diagrams: - stable iron-graphite Fe-Gr - metastable iron-cementite Fe-Fe3C The stable condition usually takes a very long time to develop. The metastable diagram is of more interest. Fe3C iron carbide called cementite because it is hard. Following phases exist on Fe-Fe3C diagram: - liquid solution of iron and carbon (L) - ferrite ( ) – an interstitial solid solution of carbon in Fe (bcc). At room temperature ferrite is ductile but
