Effect of Different Tempering Media on Fracture Toughness and Mechanical Properties of Carbon Steel

In this study, the effect of different thermal carbons on the impact resistance of heavy carbon, which contains 0.4% of. The focus was on how the resulting biochemistry affects the microstructure of the steel, and thus its mechanical properties. Steps: Impact test before heat treatment: Charpy impact test was performed on pre- impact specimens before any specimen was made. This test helps to determine the original impact of the steel without any modification in its microstructure. Tempering procedure: After that, it was further investigated by exposing it to high temperatures and then cooling it rapidly. This method is for market formation, which is a must. It was retested after tempering. The results showed a significant increase in the shock cases after tempering due to the formation of the texture which increased the strength of the specimen. Flame tempering (surface heat treatment): In this type of treatment, only the surface is heated with a flame and cooled rapidly, which results in the formation of a strong martensite texture on the surface, while the core of the specimen remains softer. When tested, it did get shock, but the amount of increase that occurred with full shock was not reduced. The reason for this is that the hardening in God is only on the surface while the core of the eye remains flexible, which leads to a reduction in contrast. Carburizing (surface heat treatment): Carburizing treatment is performed on some samples, which is a method that involves adding carbon to the outer surface of the fulminate and cooling it rapidly, resulting in a solid, hard material. When performing the shock test, it did get a shock that improved, but a case like flame hardening, you did not have very many shocks in full hardening.
