In order to develop new generation brazed Diamond grinding wheels, the joining experiments of Diamond super abrasive grains and medium carbon steel using the powder mixture of Ni-Cr alloy as active brazing alloy are carried out via laser in an argon atmosphere. The relevant characteristics of the special powder mixture, the microstructure of the interfacial region, which are both the key factors for determining the joining strength among the Diamond grains, the filler layer and the steel substrate, are investigated extensively by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersion spectrometer (EDS), as well X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The formation mechanism of carbide layers was discussed. All the results indicate that high strength bonding between diamond grits and the steel substrate has been successfully realized because the chromium in the Ni-based alloy segregated preferentially to the surface of the diamond to form a chromium-rich reaction product Cr3C2, and the bond between the alloy and the Diamond was established through the reaction product.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

The recently developed “quenching and partitioning” heat treatment and “quenching-partitioning-tempering” heat treatment are novel processing technologies, which are designed for achieving advanced high strength steels (AHSS) with combination of high strength and adequate ductility. In present study, a medium carbon steel containing Nb was subjected to the Q-P-T process, and both the microstructure and mechanical properties was studied. The experimental results show that the Nb-microalloyed steel demonstrates high tensile strength and relatively high elongation. The microstructure of the steel was investigated in terms of scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope, and the results indicate that the Q-P-T steel consist of fine martensite laths with dispersive carbide precipitates and the film-like interlath retained austenite. The orientation relationships between martensite and retained austenite is as well-known Kurdjurmov-Sachs relationship and Nishiyama-Wasserman relationship.

Barrier Coating

Thermal conductivity is one of the main features of a thermal barrier coating (TBC) that is important in making sure that the TBC gives its best functionality to the system. A good TBC has low thermal conductivity, so that the temperature can drop across the coating which allows the system to operate in extremely high temperatures. There are several factors that can influence the thermal conductivity of the TBC such as the type of ceramic material used, the deposition method and the physical features of the TBC itself. For this research, air plasma spray (APS) is used to deposit 8 wt% yttria stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) and mullite on medium carbon steel substrates to study their respective thermal conductivities. The aim here is to develop a heat shield using TBC to protect the electric motor in an electrical turbocompounding system. The characteristics of the deposited TBC such as microstructure, element composition, phases and thermal conductivity are studied. The thermal conductivity is reduced when medium carbon steel substrate deposited with TBC. The thermal conductivity of 8YSZ, mullite and uncoated sample at minute 60 is 0.868 W/mK, 0.903 W/mK and 1.057 W/mK, respectively. Therefore, the deposition of 8YSZ TBC can lower the thermal conductivity of the medium carbon steel heat shield.

Abstract Machinability study of a material is used to find the ease and difficulty during machining operation. High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) medium carbon steel (EN25 steel) is considered to possess better mechanical properties than carbon steel. In this work, an attempt is made to experimentally investigate and realize the machinability of EN25 steel during turning with coated carbide tools. The effects of machining parameters on cutting force components, Specific Cutting Pressure (SCP), co-efficient of friction and shear energy are analysed during the investigation. The results of the investigation revealed that the mentioned machinability characteristics are necessary and essential to evaluate the machinability of HSLA steel effectively.

Micron, sub-micron and nanometer sized MgO•Al2O3 ultra-fine powders were prepared by gel precipitation, solid-phrase synthesis, sol-gel and flame throwing pyrogenation methods. XRD analysis shows that the all of the ultra-fine powder is pure with a single MgO•Al2O3 spinel phase. The size is measured by laser granularity analyzer and the average size is 60, 505 and 1780 nm with quite uniform distribution. MgO•Al2O3 spinel powder with different granularity were sprayed into molten medium carbon steel in MgO crucible and MoSi2 furnace at 1873 K. Quantitative microscopic examination shows that big particle inclusions are reduced and small particle inclusions increased, and the average size is reduced. Data comparison from spraying different size powders shows that spraying MgO•Al2O3 of nanometer tends to cause more small inclusions. The sprayed steel samples were rolled and heat treated for the mechanical properties tests, which shows spraying nanometer MgO•Al2O3 is the best way to improve mechanical property.

Requirements for mechanical properties of steels are constantly increasing, and the combination of quenching and tempering is the method generally chosen for achieving high strength in medium carbon steels. This study examines the influence of various silicon contents from 1.06 to 2.49 wt% and the addition of copper (1.47 wt%) on the behavior of 1.7102 steel starting with the as-quenched state and ending with the tempered condition at the temperature of 500 °C. The microstructure was characterized by SEM and TEM, the phase composition and dislocation density were studied by XRD analysis, and mechanical properties were assessed by tensile and hardness testing, whereas tempered martensite embrittlement was assessed using Charpy impact test and the activation energy of carbide precipitation was determined by dilatometry. The benefit of copper consists in the improvement of reduction of area by tempering between 150 and 300 °C. The increase in strength due to copper precipitation occurs upon tempering at 500 °C, where strength is generally low due to a drop in dislocation density and changes in microstructure. The increasing content of silicon raises strength and dislocation density in steels, but the plastic properties of steel are limited. It was found that the silicon content of 1.5 wt% is optimum for the materials under study.
