The use of cooling media in post welding process will affect the tensile strength of a material. This study aims to determine how much the influence of using cooling media in post welding and which cooling media is appropriate to use. The process is done by comparing the tensile strength of each cooling media, namely the cooling media of water, air, and coolant. The use of cooling media is carried out after the welding process, until the material that is ready to be welded reaches room temperature. Based on the experiments that have been conducted, the use of post-welding cooling media affects the tensile strength of medium carbon steel with the highest effect on the water cooling media, then the coolant media, and the lowest is the air cooling media. Therefore, the choice of the use of cooling media significantly affects the tensile strength of medium carbon steel in the post-welding process.

Spot welding involves the joining of two or more plate metals in localized areas where melting and jointure of a little volume of fabric happens from heating caused by resistance to the passage of an electrical current. This process is typically used for obtaining a lap joint of plate metal parts. In this work, stainless steels and medium carbon steel were used. Three rules for welding set-up, lowest tap on the fastening electrical device, highest % current setting on the weld management and shortest weld time setting on the weld management were adopted. Experiments conducted to show the effect of these variables on the welding diameter and tensile strength for each sample for medium carbon steel and stainless steel separately and joining both metals together by spot welding. The results show that the utmost durability was at stainless steel specimens and minimum tensile strength was at medium carbon steel specimens. Furthermore, the obtained results showed that the maximum heat generated was at stainless steel specimens and minimum heat generated values was at medium carbon steel specimens for all current dependent in this work. Meanwhile, slight effect of heat generated on the spot diameter for the current of 10.6 & 5.3 kA, and so significant effect on the spot diameter for the last current (2.3kA).

This paper presents the result of an investigation of the effect of postweld heat treatment on the mechanical properties of weld in 0.36%C medium Carbon Steel. Samples were prepared and welded using Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process with a low hydrogen electrode. The welded samples were subjected to postweld heat treatment (stress relief) at four different temperatures: 550°C, 600°C, 650°C and 700°C followed by air-cooling. Microstructural examination was carried out to determine the change in microstructure before and after postweld heat treatment. The mechanical properties of the samples were also tested before and after the heat treatment. It was established that a hard microstructure, susceptible to Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC), was formed in the heat affected zone of the as-welded samples and that postweld heat treatment improved the mechanical properties of the weld and substantially reduced or eliminated the risk of HIC.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects of medium carbon steel microstructure on the tensile strength and fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior. Design/methodology/approach To achieve this aim, four different heat treatment methods (normalizing, quenching, tempering at 300°C and tempering at 600°C) were considered. Microstructural evolution was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. FCG rate tests were conducted on the resultant microstructures with compact tension specimens at room temperature by a standard testing method. Findings The results show that the normalized microstructure had the largest number of cycles to failure, indicating a high fatigue resistance, followed by the as received, tempered at 600°C, tempered at 300°C and quenched microstructure. Originality/value The paper shows the influence of the microstructure on the fatigue-propagation behavior with the definition of the Paris parameters of each heat treatment condition.

In order to increase boronizing speed without decreasing the hardness of boride layer, the effect of plastic deformation at room temperature on powder RE-chrome-boronizing for a medium carbon steel (steel 45), in which boronizing plays a main role, was studied in this paper. The cold plastic deformation (CPD), whether compressing or shot-peening, can increase boronizing speed. Meanwhile, the boride layer can also retain its high microhardness (1 300―1 900HV0.1) with low brittleness. The layer depth achieved for a given heating time increases with increasing CPD degree on the steel. The analyses show that boronizing kinetics in the RE-chrome-boronizing (RE-Cr-B) samples with CPD can be enhanced.

The effect of various heat treatment operations (annealing, normalizing and hardening) on mechanical properties of medium carbon steel was investigated. The samples were prepared and heat-treated at 770 ºC subsequently was cooled by different quenching media. The mechanical properties of the treated and untreated samples were determined using standard methods. Results showed that the mechanical properties of carbon steel can be changed and improved by various heat treatments. It was also found that the annealed samples has the lowest tensile strength and hardness value and highest ductility, while hardened samples has the highest tensile strength and hardness value and lowest ductility value.
