Vacuum Carburization

We investigated the effects of the austenitizing temperature on the microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties of case-carburized steel after vacuum carburization at 930 °C and then re-austenitization at 820–900 °C followed by oil quenching and tempering. The results show that fractures occurred early with the increase in the austenitizing temperature, although all the carburized specimens showed a similar case hardness of 800 HV0.2 and case depth of 1.2 mm. The highest fracture stress of 1919 MPa was obtained for the experimental steel when the austenitizing temperature was 840 °C due to its fine microstructure and relatively high percentage of retained austenite transformed into martensite during the tensile tests. We also found that the stress–strain behavior of case-carburized specimens could be described by the area-weighted curves of the carburized case and the core in combination. The strain hardening exponent was about 0.4 and did not vary with the increase in the austenitizing temperature. We concluded that the optimum austenitizing temperature was around 840 °C for the experimental steel.

Carburizing Process

Increase of soaking time contributed to the effectiveness of case depth formation, hardness properties and carbon content of carburized steel. This paper investigates the effect of different soaking time (7-9 hours) using powder and paste compound to the carburized steel. Low carbon steels were carburized using powder and paste compound for 7, 8 and 9 hours at temperature 1000°C. The transformation of microstructure and formation carbon rich layer was observed under microscope. The microhardness profiles were analyzed to investigate the length of case depth produced after the carburizing process. The increment of carbon content was considered to find the correlation between types of carburizing compound with time. Results shows that the longer carburized steel was soaked, the higher potential in formation of carbon rich layer, case depth and carbon content, which led to better hardness properties for carburized low carbon steel. Longer soaking time, 9 hours has a higher dispersion of carbon up to 41%-51% compare to 8 hours and 7 hours. By using paste carburizing, it has more potential of carbon atom to merge the microstructure to transform into cementite (1.53 wt% C) compare to powder (0.97 wt% C), which increases the hardness of carburized steel (13% higher).

This study sums up the authors recent works1–6 on steel regarding non-destructive testing and evaluation achieved between 2000 and 2008. The main related items are the establishment of a polynomial correlation4 between the thermal diffusivity and the Vickers' hardness HV using the recently established Boubaker polynomial expansion. This correlation is undoubtedly an efficient guide to set an NDT protocol to investigate steel-strengthened surface performance. Special attention is given to carburized steel material,6 as the existence of any appropriated NDT photothermal technique is demonstrated2,5,6 to be unavoidably subjected to some restrictive conditions. The perspectives of the new features of this recent technique are discussed, with special concern with differently treated material like nitrured and nitrocarburized quenched steel.
