Martensitic steel is often used to fabricate parts that require high tensile strength. However, this quality, and the material’s low ductility, requires manufacturing equipment with higher tonnage capacity. This paper explores a potential way to reduce the tonnage requirement by temporarily reducing the steel’s required flow stress. Previous studies with other metals have shown that using a pulsed electric current will provide lower strength, as well as, an increase in ductility, without the sensitivity to temperature that heat treating has. This project investigates how martensitic steel reacts to pulsing electric current in terms of the tensile strength and elongation. The project consists of two studies. First, where the parameters considered were current density (CD), pulse duration (PD), pulse period (PP), and pressurized air (PA). Second is a series of tests where current duration was based off the material’s strength. The results from the first study show that the electricity can increase the material’s achievable elongation; the second study achieved reducing and limiting the material’s strength.

Abstract Lucefin Group C30, C30E, and C30R are medium-carbon, non-alloy steels that are used in the normalized, cold worked, or quenched and tempered condition. C30E and C30R may also be flame or induction hardened. C30, C30E, and C30R are widely used for small, moderately stressed parts, where higher strength levels are needed than can be achieved in the lower carbon grades, and also where toughness is more important than high tensile strength. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: CS-206. Producer or source: Lucefin S.p.A.

Abstract ISO 185/JL/225 is an intermediate-tensile-strength gray cast iron that has a predominantly pearlitic matrix, and a tensile strength of 225–325 MPa (33-47 ksi), when determined on test pieces machined from separately cast, 30 mm (1.2 in.) diameter test bars. Compared with the lower strength gray cast iron grades, ISO 185/JL/225 contains lower carbon and silicon contents, while still maintaining excellent thermal conductivity, damping capacity, and machinability. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, tensile properties, and compressive strength as well as fatigue. It also includes information on heat treating. Filing Code: CI-73. Producer or source: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Abstract ISO 185/JL/275 is an intermediate-tensile-strength gray cast iron that has a pearlitic matrix and a tensile strength of 275–375 MPa (40–54 ksi), when determined on test pieces machined from separately cast, 30 mm (1.2 in.) diameter test bars. Compared with the lower strength gray cast iron grades, ISO 185/JL/275 contains lower carbon and silicon contents, while still maintaining good thermal conductivity and damping capacity. Owing to its higher tensile strength and hardness, it exhibits superior wear properties. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength as well as fatigue. It also includes information on casting and heat treating. Filing Code: CI-79. Producer or source: International Organization for Standardization.

A pulsed electric current (19 kHz, 0-8 volts) has been applied to a molten Fe-0.5C-1.5Mn alloy to investigate its effect on the microstructure and the distribution of carbon and manganese. It has been shown that the pulsed electric field can improve the microstructure from a coarse banded structure to a compact acicular structure by increasing the pulsed voltage from 4 volts to 8 volts. The pulsed electric treatment also has an effect on the C and Mn distribution with a tendency for C and Mn to migrate to the cathode.

In welding elements of the supporting structure of the means of transport, attention is paid to the high strength and good plastic properties of the welded joint. In the construction of transport means, DOCOL 1200M  steel from the AHSS group is increasingly used due to their high tensile strength of steel at the level of 1200 MPa. The welds have much lower strength than the native material. In this paper, it was decided to check the weldability of  DOCOL 1200M steel with the use of micro-jet cooling
