Soaking Temperature

The present paper refers to the evaluation of the influence of soaking temperature of nitrided hot work tool steel, X37CrMoV5-1 (WCL), intended for dies for extruding aluminium profiles, on the structure, microhardness, and tribological wear of the nitrided layer. The research involved nitrided steel specimens (X37CrMoV5-1) soaked for 8 hours in an industrial furnace at temperatures of 450°C, 480°C, 520°C, 560°C, and 600°C. For comparison purposes, a REFERENCES material was used, which was not soaked after nitriding. Initially, as the soaking temperature raised, the microhardness of the nitrided layer increased by ca. 10%; however, a further increase in the soaking temperature to more than 450°C caused a decrease in the microhardness of the nitrided layer. The results of tribological tests showed that soaking nitrided steel at a low temperature (450°C) and high temperature (600°C) caused a decrease in tribological wear. Out of the tested materials, the highest microhardness of the upper layer was observed in the samples soaked at 450°C, while the highest resistance to tribological wear was obtained for the samples soaked at 600°C. The conducted tests indicate the possibility of extending the lifetime of dies made from the investigated nitrided steel.

The paper concerns the assessment of the influence of the duration of high-temperature soaking of steel intended for dies for extruding aluminium profiles on the structure, microhardness, and tribological wear of the top layer. Gas nitrided hot work tool steel X37CrMoV5-1 (WCL) was used in the tests. For technological reasons, before the extruding process, such dies are pre-heated for several hours to a temperature ranging from 400°C to 600°C. Due to the possibility of various unplanned situations (failures), the soaking time may be extended even up to more than ten hours. Therefore, soaking was used after the nitriding process due to the application nature of the research whose purpose was to identify changes occurring in the nitrided layer after soaking of dies at a higher temperature (520°C) and before starting the extruding process, and thus to determine for how long the dies may be held in a furnace without undesirable changes in the top layer. The examined samples were soaked in an industrial furnace at 520°C for 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 10 h, and 12 h. Samples heated to 520°C and then immediately cooled down and the reference material which was not heated after the nitriding process were also examined for comparison purposes. The obtained results of the tests of the microhardness of the nitrided layer indicate that it decreased as the soaking time increased to 6 hours. After this time, that parameter is stabilised and further heating up to 10 hours does not cause a significant decrease in the microhardness of the top layer. A further decrease in the microhardness of the layer was observed for samples soaked for 12 hours. The results of tribological tests showed an analogous course of changes in the tribological wear of the examined material as the soaking time increased. The performed tests indicate the possibility of holding dies at a higher temperature

This paper investigated into the application of fiber-enhanced asphalt mixture in surface layer of the large longitudinal slope pavement of Xi-Sang Highway. Asphalt mixture with and without polyester fiber were used. Focus is on resistance of deformation at high temperature and flexibility at low temperature. Fiber-enhanced asphalt mixture with dynamic stability above 7000 passes/mm indicated excellent rutting resistance. The high temperature dynamic modulus of fiber-enhanced asphalt mixture was much higher than conventional SBS modified asphalt mixture. Three-point blending test result indicated that the maximum flexural strain of fiber-enhance asphalt mixture reached 4180μm/m. It was concluded that fiber-enhanced asphalt mixture was suit to be used in surface layer of the large longitudinal slope pavement of Xi-Sang Highway.
