A high carbon steel joint, S70C (0.72wt%C) was successfully friction stir welded without any postheat treatments. There are two methods for obtaining proper joint properties. The first method is to decrease the peak temperature to below A1, and the other method to decrease the cooling rate to less than the lower critical cooling rate. As a result, the ultimate tensile strength of 1214 MPa, 0.2 % proof strength of 700 MPa and elongation of 40% were obtained for a joint.

This article reveals a detailed study of temperature cycle formed during Gas Tungsten Arc welding of high carbon steel (AISI 1090) butt joints. Experimental work has been carried out to estimate the temperature distribution along fusion boundary to longitudinal direction of the weldment by mounting thermocouples on the plate along with Data Acquisition System. Heat flux distribution due to moving point heat source has been demonstrated by implementing Gaussian surface heat flux and Angular Torch model. Cooling rate has predicted by application of Adams cooling rate equation. Conduction-convection phenomena plays dominant role for evaluating heat loss from the weld joint and Differential Transform Method (DTM) has been applied to judge non-dimensional temperature distribution. Analytical studies has shown well agreement with experimental temperature distribution.

The effect of laser welding on prevention of the fracture of cracked shafts of a high carbon steel are presented. Static tensile strength and rotary bending fatigue strength were obtained using shaft specimens of AISI W1 which were welded by a CO2 laser around a precrack. Since the welded region became extremely hard and brittle, both the strengths of laser-welded specimens were lower than those of non-welded specimens. However, the strengths were increased higher than those of non-welded specimens after tempering the specimens. It was found that when tempered at 600°C after laser welding, the rotary bending fatigue strength of specimens with a crack smaller than 12 mm rose similar to that of the base metal, and when tempered at 700° C, the static tensile strength of specimens with a crack smaller than 12mm rose similar to that of the base metal. Therefore, it was shown that the laser welding is very effective to prevent fracture of high carbon steels.

In this work the influence of value of single draft on mechanical-technological properties of high carbon steel wires was evaluated. For wires drawn with medium single draft (10.4 %, 15.5 % and 26.5 %) the investigation of mechanical-technological properties was performed thereby providing results on yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, contraction, number of twist and number of band. On the basis of numerical analysis of wire drawing process the influence of the value of single draft on inhomogeneity of strain was determined. It was established that in the range of medium single drafts 10-26 % used in drawing process of high carbon steel wires large single drafts cause the increase of their strength properties by deterioration of their plasticity properties. It was demonstrated that the increase of strength properties in wires drawn with larger single drafts is related to the occurrence of higher non-dilatational strain, which cause additional work hardening of material. The theoretical-experimental analysis of drawing of high carbon steel wires enabled evaluation of optimal value of single drafts by which it can be used relatively the most advantageous useful properties of wires. Obtained research results can be applied while designing the production process of high carbon steel wires.

The effect of cooling rate of cane molasses as quenching medium for 0.61% C high carbon steels was investigated. Samples of high carbon steel were spheroidized annealed and then machined prior to the hardening process. Molasses solution of viscosity equals to that of engine oil was prepared by adding water. The samples were normalized and then austenitised at 800oC and soaked for 40 minutes and then quenched in water, engine oil, raw molasses and the prepared molasses solution. Cooling rate curves of all the quenching media used were developed. The highest cooling rate of 60oC/s was attained by the prepared molasses solution. Hardness of the test samples was evaluated. The test results obtained show that the highest hardness value (525 HVN) was obtained from the sample quenched in the prepared molasses solution. Microstructures of the various samples were analyzed using OM and SEM. In all the tests samples martensite structure was observed. It was observed that the prepared molasses solution has higher severity of quenching than that of engine oil but lower than that of water. The research showed that cane molasses can harden high carbon steel without cracking the component in the same way as engine oil, hence, molasses could be a very good alternative to engine oil for use as quenching medium.
