It is convenient to analyze the distribution of boron in high carbon steel with boron, simply using neutron-induced radiography with a neutron fluency of 1.9 x 1013 [cm-2]. It was revealed by the neutron-induced radiography that the distribution of boron was dependent on boron contents, graphitizing temperature and time. The density of boron track increased with increasing boron contents. But the density of the boron track and graphite in high carbon steel graphitized at 700°C is higher than that of high carbon steel graphitized at 750°C. The density of graphite in high carbon steel also depends upon the content of boron and the graphitizing temperature. The shape of the boron track was changed from sphere to rod type when annealed at 800°C, in steel containing 50ppm of boron, due to different phases of boride. The distribution of boron segregation or boronrich precipitates in high carbon steel was well documented with a neutron-induced radiography, but the direct relationship between graphite and boron was not clarified by it. Furthermore, the analysis of electron probe X-ray microanalyzer (EPMA) also showed that the high amount of boron coexisted with carbon in graphite in high carbon steel.

 ABSTRAKTanto merupakan senjata tajam yang berasal dari Jepang dan merupakan senjata kedua bagi para Samurai di Jepang. Tanto biasa terbuat dari baja karbon menengah hingga baja karbon tinggi yang. Material baja yang digunakan untuk pembuatan Tanto dalam penelitian ini adalah baja AISI seri O1 karena memiliki karakteristik sifat mampu bentuk yang baik serat dapat dikuatkan melalui proses heat treatment. Material baja ini dibuat dengan proses tempa lipat  dengan variasi tempa empat lipatan dan satu lipatan. Pembuatan Tanto dan spesimen uji dilakukan dengan proses tempa lipat secara konvensional menggunakan tungku arang, dengan temperatur tempa rata-rata yaitu ±1200oC, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan quenching pada temperatur ± 850oC, serta tempering pada temperatur ±250oC. Penelitian ditujukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari proses tempa empat lipatan dan tempa satu lipatan terhadap sifat mekanik, yaitu kekerasan dan kekuatan impak serta untuk melihat perubahan pada struktur mikro. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa nilai kekerasan paling tinggi sebesar41HRC yang dimiliki oleh pada raw material, ,sedangkan nilai impak paling tinggi sebesar 224,02 Joule/cm² ayng dicapai oleh material dengan proses tempa empat lipatan, Fasa akhir yang ditemukan pada baja tempa empat lipatan adalah  bainit dan martensit, sementara  perlit dan ferit ditemukan  pada baja satu lipatan, dan lath martensit ditemukan pada pada raw material  Kata kunci: Pisau Tanto, Tempa lipat ,Quenching, Tempering, Uji Impak  ABSTRACT Tanto is a sharp weapon originating  from Japan and is the second weapon for Samurai in Japan. Tanto is usually made of medium carbon steel to high carbon steel. The material which is used in this research is AISI O1 series steel because of its high ability to be formed and also can be made tough through a heat treatment process. This steel is made by folding forge process, with variation in number of folding, which is 4 folds and 1 fold. The making of Tanto and test specimens was carried out by conventional fold forging processes by using a charcoal furnace, with an average forging temperature at ± 1200oC, continue with quenching at ± 850oC, and tempering at ± 250oC. The research is carried out in order to determine the effect of the four-folds forging and one-fold forging to the mechanical behavior, which are hardness and impact strength,  and also to see change in its micro structure. The test that have been carried out shows that the highest hardness value of 41 HRC owned by raw material, while the highest impact value of 224.02 Joules / cm² obtained by material with four layer forging process. Final phases that found in the four-fold forged steel are bainite and martensite, pearlite and ferrite found in one-fold forged steel. and lath martensite in found in the raw material. Keywords: Tanto Knife, Folding Forging, Quenching, Tempering, Testing, Impact Tests

Abstract One of the most important types of heat treatment that high-carbon steel wires are subjected to is the patenting treatment. This process is conducted with the aim of obtaining a fine-grained uniform pearlitic structure which will be susceptible to plastic deformation in drawing processes. Patenting involves two-stage heat treatment that includes heating the wire up to the temperature above Ac3 in a continuous heating furnace (in the temperature range of 850÷1050°C) followed by a rapid cooling in a tank with a lead bath down to the temperature range of 450÷550°C. The patenting process is most significantly influenced by the chemistry of the steel being treated, as well as by the temperature and the rate of heating and cooling of the wire rod or wire being patented. So far, heating up to the austenitizing temperature has been conducted in several-zone continuous gas-fired or electric furnaces. Recently, attempts have been made in a drawing mill to replace this type of furnace with fast induction heating, which should bring about an energy saving, as well as a reduced quantity of scale on the patented wire. This paper presents the analysis of the structure and mechanical properties of wires of high-carbon steel with a carbon content of 0.76%C after the patenting process using induction heating for different levels of the coil induction power.

The high-carbon steel strips are one of the most widely used base materials of bandsaw blade manufacturing. These materials have sufficient strength and ductility to cope with the high fatigue load of the bandsaw blades. These endless strips are produced by welding, and therefore the weld and the heat affected zone have different mechanical properties, like tensile strength and fatigue resistance, than the base material. These properties of the weld can be influenced by preheat and post weld heat treatment. Regarding to the latest industrial requirements, the application of laserbeam welding was examined to produce higher standard bandsaw blade. The laserbeam welded joints has lower heat input and narrower heat affected zone compared to metal inert gas (MIG) welding, which is currently used in bandsaw blade manufacturing. To assure the proper mechanical properties and sufficient resistance to fatigue, an examination was carried out to determine the effect of preheat temperature and post weld heat treatment time on the mechanical properties and fatigue behaviour of the laserbeam welded joint.

Abstract Pearlitic steels containing from some 0,8 to 0,95% C belong to the group of unalloyed steels intended for cold drawing or rolling. One of the problems discussed in literature is cracking of pearlitic steel subjected to plastic working, caused by high brittleness of the lamellar precipitations of hard cementite. This issue is extremely important because it affects significantly reduce fatigue strength. The paper presents proposals to modify the process of heat treatment, results in getting a steel with spheroidal structure characterized by better plastic properties, in order to eliminate this problem.
