Q

How does hot working effect the metal?

A

It is done at temperatures that allow re-crystallisation. It provides plastic deformation without raising the yield strength.

Q

How does casting effect the microstructure?

A

It can cause different structure in different parts and defects can occur. (Which causes it to have slightly inferior mechanical properties than rolled or forged materials)

Q

What are the effects after welding? (3)

A

It gets casting structure
The heat alter the microstructure causing different hardening and grain growth.
Often crack

Q

How is precipitation hardening done? (3 steg)

A
  1. Heating: Alloy elements are dissolved
  2. Quenching: Lowering temperature so no atomic movement occur
  3. Ageing: Partivles are precipated

Q

How is steel manufacured?

A
  1. Iron oxide is reduced to pig iron in blast furnace
  2. Carbon of pig iron is adjustet to contain the amount wanted. The steel is alloyed and scrap can be added

Q

Three heat treatments of steel? (3)

A

Normalization: Heating and slow cooling which provides a normal microstructure. Is good when stiffness is important

Soft annealing: Heating to temperatures below melting point. Diffusion, grain growth, spheriodized perlite, lower yield strenth. Used for steel to be machined and then hardened

Hardening: Heating and quenching, tempering. The carbon content
determines the proportion of cementite. The temperature and time of
determine the size of the cementite particles. Used when hardness and yield
strength are important

Q

Why is steel alloyed sometimes? (4st)

A
  • Increase hardenability
  • Provide carbides other than Fe3C with more
    stable high temper-ure properties
  • With Cr => chromium oxide layer, corrosion
    resistance
  • Stabilize austenite at room temperature

machine parts

18
Q

Properties of tool steel? (2)

A

High carbon content
Stable carbides at high temperature

cutting tools, ball bearings

19
Q

Steel + Cr = ?

A

Stainless steel

20
Q

Three types of stainless steel and their properties?

A

Ferritic, it’s cheap
Austenitic, good resistance but low temperature properties
Martensitic, can be hardened

21
Q

Difference between ductile and gray iron?

A

Both has high amount of carbon (2-4%)
Gray is relatively brittle and has worse mechanical properties but is good at vibration damping.
