In this paper the morphology of the cavitation damage to heat-treated medium carbon steel was analyzed. The experiments were conducted using a modified vibratory cavitation test set up. The erosion rates were measured by an analytical method. The morphology of the cavitation damage was studied by the scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy techniques. The present work was aimed at understanding the cavitation erosion behavior of heat-treated medium carbon steel under laboratory conditions. The results indicate that the heat-treated medium carbon steel is not to be recommended for the production of hydraulic machinery parts exposed to high hydrodynamic intensity.

Ni-B/Ni-B-B4C composite coatings on the substrate of medium-carbon steel (45#) were successfully fabricated by electroless plating in a low temperature bath. The corrosion resistance of Ni-B coating were examined by using electrochemical workstation. The results indicated that there are no pores and cracks and other defects at the interface between the substrate and composite coating. It was found that the corrosion resistance of Ni-B coating increased and then decreased with the addition of NaBH4 increasing, and the best addition in plating bath was about 0.9 g/L. While the corrosion resistance of Ni-B coating heat-treated at 400°C with NaBH4 addition 0.9 g/L was the worst.

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.

The effect of various heat treatment operations (annealing, normalizing and hardening) on mechanical properties of medium carbon steel was investigated. The samples were prepared and heat-treated at 770 ºC subsequently was cooled by different quenching media. The mechanical properties of the treated and untreated samples were determined using standard methods. Results showed that the mechanical properties of carbon steel can be changed and improved by various heat treatments. It was also found that the annealed samples has the lowest tensile strength and hardness value and highest ductility, while hardened samples has the highest tensile strength and hardness value and lowest ductility value.
