Heat Treatment Flashcards
What Is normally case hardened?
Lim.l
Survival knives, bearings & screwdriver tips
What is Kasenit
Lim.l
A case hardening compound.
What is a fault that can happen while cold working metal?
Lim.l
Dislocation
Why is steel tempered?
Lim.l
To make it tougher or harder
What is normalising?
Relieving stress in steel caused by work hardening
What type of structures do metals exist in?
Caspar Tyser
Atoms in a metal exist in a regular lattice structure.
What effect does Case Hardening have on steel?
Caspar Tyser
Case Hardening increases the wear resistance of the steel.
In Hardening and Tempering hardness depends on what?
Caspar Tyser
The carbon content of the steel (min 0.4%).
Annealing makes the metal more….?
Caspar Tyser
Malleable.
Heat Treatment occurs after which process?
Caspar Tyser
Cold Working.
What type of structures to metals exist in?
Torsai K
Atoms in a metal exist in a regular lattice structure.
What is heat treatment?
Torsai K
Heat can be used to alter the properties of a metal. The type of metal, temperature, and rate of cooling will affect final properties.
What does annealing do to the metal?
Torsai K
Annealing is the application of heat to relieve internal stresses, making the metal more malleable.
What is the difference between annealing and normalising?
Torsai K
Annealing occurs in non-ferrous metals, while normalising occurs in ferrous metals.
What does case hardening do to steel?
Torsai K
Case hardening increases the wear resistance of the steel, using a surface layer of carbon.
What can heat be used for?
-Lucas M
Heat can be used to alter the properties of a metal.
What can affect the final,properties?
-Lucas M
The type of metal
Temperature reached
Rate of cooling
What is annealing?
-Lucas M
The application of heat to relieve internal stresses.
What metals are heated to dull red and allowed to cool (or quenched)?
-Lucas M
Copper and Brass
Which metal is heated to 350-400 degrees Celsius and allowed to cool?
-Lucas M
Aluminium
Atoms in metals exist in what structure?
- Humphrey Marsh
A regular lattice structure
When a metal is cold worked, the faults which are formed within the structure causing it to harden and eventually fracture are known as what?
- Humphrey Marsh
Dislocations
What is heat treatment used for?
- Humphrey Marsh
To restore the original properties of the metal.
What does case hardening do to steel?
- Humphrey Marsh
It increases the wear resistance of the steel.
Name two components that are case hardened.
- Humphrey Marsh
Bearings and screwdriver tips
What are the faults know as when metal is cold worked?
Yan K
Dislocations
