Abstract Problems often occur during nitriding, just as with any other heat-treatment process. They can take the form of process problems, steel problems, and machining problems. Troubleshooting is a process of elimination and plain detective work. One must be both observant and systematic during the troubleshooting procedure. This chapter discusses the procedure for troubleshooting problems with gas nitriding, salt bath nitriding, and ion nitriding.

Shooting nails are mainly applied to fix thin reinforced concrete and steel plate, so the nails should have high hardness and high toughness. Unreasonable heat treatment process could possibly cause too high hardness and decreased toughness, leading to nail cracking and fracture in the course of production and use. Research on heat treatment process through experimental study on the nail determines the reasonable heat treatment process of nail. The feasible quenching heating temperature was 847~840 °C, and the temperature of salt bath during isothermal cooling was 292 °C. Its resultant hardness was 680HV, meeting the requirements of the use of nails. The shoot nail cracking and fracture in the course of use can be avoided effectively. The microstructure of shooting nails after heat treatment showed lower bainite, which contributed to good mechanical properties.

Abstract Stop-off coatings prevent nitriding of selected areas on components. The success of a coating depends on such variables as density and thickness, adhesion to steel, and part surface finish. This chapter discusses the processes, advantages, and disadvantages of stop-off techniques for gas nitriding, salt bath nitriding, and ion nitriding.

This study is conducted to analyze the effect on the Hardness and Micro Structural Behaviour of three Sample Grades of Tool Steel i.e. EN-31, EN-8, and D3 after Heat Treatment Processes Such As Annealing, Normalizing, and Hardening and Tempering. The purpose of Selecting Tool Steel is Because Tool Steel is Mostly Used in the Manufacturing Industry.This study is based upon the empirical study which means it is derived from experiment and observation rather than theory.

The paper presents a failure analysis on a counterweight assembly installed on crank shaft which resulted in an in-flight shutdown of a piston aeroengine. The counterweight assembly failure includes counterweight block material loss and fractured washer which is the most crucial part for in-flight shutdown in this type of aeroengine. Macro observation, fractography analysis, metallography analysis and hardness test were conducted on the failed counterweight assembly. The result shows that failure mechanism of counterweight block and washer is fatigue. The washer failure is likely due to inappropriate heat treatment process and continuous impact in flight by slightly tilted roller. Counterweight material loss is attributed to stress concentration, low structure strength and impact came from the tilted roller. Finally some safety suggestion on design and maintenance is given.

This study investigated the mechanical properties and microstructures of Er-containing Al–Mg alloys. The research found that the H114-T sheet of Er-containing Al–Mg alloys showed a relative good comprehensive performance in mechanical properties. With the special rolling and heat treatment process, this H114-T sheet showed different morphology of microstructures with the other sheets in Er-containing Al–Mg alloys. Grains in H114-T sheet performed irregular shape polygon, a number of subgrains appeared in grains, the amount of dislocations in grains decreased. H114-T sheet possessed a lot of Copper texture, this may be one of important factors influenced the mechanical properties.

Network carbide inheritance during heat treatment process of large shield machine bearing steel GCr15SiMn was investigated by heat treatment experiments and quantitative metallographic. Samples with the proeutectoid cementite network thickness in the range of 0.19~0.54 μm were obtained by changing austenitizing temperature and soaking time of pearlite transformation. The results show that the network in hot rolled bar can be improved when the pre-heat treatment temperature is 950 °C. When the network thickness is above 0.40 μm, the undissolved cementite networks present in microstructures after quenching and tempering. In a Chinese standard, the network grades are 1.5 and 3.0 degree when the networks thickness are 0.40 μm and 0.54 μm, respectively. The critical network thickness that can be eliminated by heat treatment is 0.29 μm.
