Q

4 stages of vapor film

A

4 stages of quenching decreases temperature throughout.
Steam formation: metal I. The beaker metal starts to cool. forms a vapor field.
Steam coverage: covered in a cloud of vapor or steam blanket. Bubbles stick to the metal and consulate if from the quenching medium.
Steam discharge: a discharge where the film of bubbles collapses. Allows the metal to again make contact with the quenching medium. Agitation can decrease time in this stage. Very violent.
Slow cooling: cools at a slower cooling rate to a normal rate. No more vapor film.

Q

Process’s of Martempering

A

put in a molten salt booth just above it’s martensite start tempt. The quench is much less severe. Partial quench, hold, finish quench,reheat, hold, then quench. are done to minimize residual stress, distortion, and cracking.

Q

Interupted Quenching

A
  1. Metal is winched to martensite region. 2. Hold 3. Raised to Bainite. 4. Held at Bainite. 5. Then lowered to Martensite
23
Q

Full annealing is done to

A

Reduce Hardness and Brittleness, ie increase ductility. done at high temperatures and turns austenite to coarse pearlite.

24
Q

Normalizing is done to

A

increase hardness and strength. done at a faster cooling rate. forms fine pearlite

25
Q

Rapid heat treating is done

A

changes are caused by heat, not chemical changes. Only the preheated part is hardened.

26
Q

Carburizing

A

a process where iron absorbs carbon while it is heated in the presence of heat-treated metals. The main concern is quenching

27
Q

Flame hardening

A

used above the torch where heat is applied to only small selected areas. no carbon or nitrogen is added. Quenches rapidly. Most commonly used on medium carbon steel.

28
Q

Pack carburizing

A

put in a furnace with many carbon materials. gas Carbnoaceous: Carbon monoxide makes the carbon fuse into the material

29
Q

The main difference between Carburirzzing and Nitritiding.

A

Nitriding does not require secondary heat treatment like (quenching).

30
Q

Gas carburizing

A

Where the metal is subject to a carbonaceous gase such as carbon monoxide in an enclosed space. Then heated to a high temperature until carbon is diffused into material. A contnouoius gas is used. Longer it stays in that furnace the more parts will be produced

31
Q

Liquid Carburizing

A

Put into salt bath containing material liek cynanide and being heated by electricity. Solution is stirred transfer is done quickly

32
Q

What steels is flame hardening used for

A

Medium Carbon Steel is the most common. must contain enough carbon.

33
Q

Induction Hardening

A

Uses a copper coil and the process of induction to heat the metal and then quenched. Alternating current at high frequency. Electric resistant of part is used to heat metal. Most expensive but also most efficient.

34
Q

Nitriding

A

The steel is heated at below the Austnetic temperature where Ammonia is added to allow for the nitrogen atoms to enter the steel.

35
Q

Normalizing and annealing do what to affect the crystal structure of the grains

A

it will return it back to original shape

36
Q

How Slow cooling affects cracking

A

Slow cooling allows for less cracking and distortion of the surface of the material.

37
Q

Rapid heat treatment hardening of metal when quenched must have

A

a high enough carbon content.

38
Q

what composition change process produces the most hardness?

A

Nitriding

39
Q

Normalizing

A

Heating 20 degrees above upper transformation line.

40
Q

4 different Nitriding methods

A

Nitriding, Cyanididng, Carbonitriding, vacuum gas nitriding.

41
Q

Laser/ Electron Beam Hardening

A

concentrated and precise beam sent to heat the metal. Instantaneous process.

42
Q

Carbonitriding

A

Metalis is heated in chamber with ammonia and natural gas. induces surface with carbon and nitrogen atoms. Heat treated to temperature less than carburizing then Left to quench. Can increase wear resistance

43
Q

What quenching medium is heat for low carbon steels

A

Water

44
Q

Best Quenching medium for cast iron

A

Air

45
Q

Lowest temp medium

A

Brine

46
Q

Tempering happens after

A

Quenching and Annealing

47
Q

Full Annealing

A

Heated to 50-100 f above utt. Held their and completely changes to Austenite

48
Q

Sheropheredizing g is done on what steels

A

High carbon steels.

49
Q

Procces Annealing

A

Heated below LTT. Used when time/furnace time is a concern

50
Q

Die casting

A

Where molten metal is inserted into container under very high pressure for increased strnenght and more precise dimensions

51
Q

advantages of nitriding

A

more corrosion resistance, less cracking, requires less cleaning than carburizing.

52
Q

three issues with quenching.

A

cracking, distortion, and internal stresses.
