Question 15

What is the primary hardening element in steel

Answer 15

Carbon

Question 16

Tempuring

Answer 16

Decrease hardness and increase ductility and toughness.

Heat Above critical limit and let to cool and then quenched

Only works for high carbon

Question 17

Hardening

Answer 17

Hearing above critical temp so carbon is dispersed evenly and uni formally. Then quickly quenched in oil water or brine.

Annealing

Answer 20

Increases softness and relives stresses.

Heated 50f above critical limit and soaked at this time for a set period. Slowly cooled naturally or in sand. Soft ductile metal

Question 21

What is normalising

Answer 21

Heated 100f above critical limit. And let to soak for a prescribed time and then cooled to room temp

Ferrous metals

Question 32

Carburising

Answer 32

Hardening for low carbon steel

Question 33

Pack carburising

Answer 33

Heating to 1700f whilst packed into a carbon rich material which. Penetrates the surface causing it to harden

Question 34

Gas carburising

Answer 34

Using a carbon rich gas to penetrate surface

Question 35

Liquid carburising

Answer 35

Hearing in a bath of sodium cyanide or barium cyanide

Question 36

Flame-hardening

Answer 36

Heated using Oct-acetylene flame and then immediately cooled by quenching in a jet of water

Question 37

Nitriding

Answer 37

Improved final surface and in an ammonia rich environment. The ammonia breaks the surface allowing nitrogen to penetrate
