. Corrosion resistant
. Magnetic
. Can be heat treated (hardened)
How many digits are used in the alloy steel classification code?
4
What do the 4 digits in the steel classification code represent? (In general not the numbers in detail)
The chemical composition of the alloy
In detail what do the digits represent in the classification number of steel?
First digit - material type
Second digit - identifies material further
Third/fourth digit - carbon content (e.g 30 = 0.30%)
What does SAE stand for?
Society of Automotive Engineers
What occurs in steel heat treatment?
Heating and cooling carbon steel to change its properties whiteout shape/size change
What is steel?
Iron alloyed with carbon
What are the sections of the phase diagram for carbon steel?
. Ferrite
. Austenite
. Cemenite
. Pearlite
What is ferrite?
Pure iron
What is Austenite?
Cubic form of iron
What is Cemenite?
Chemical compound of carbon and iron, very hard
What is Pearlite?
Layered structure of Ferrite and Cemenite
How is steel hardened?
By raising its temperature and giving time to cool
What does heating and cooling do to an alloys grain structure?
Alters microstructure
Describe Austenite (not Austenitic)
Face cantered cubic crystal, when ferrous metal is heated above critical temperature
Describe Ferrite (not ferritic)
Body centred cubic crystal, crystal structure of ferrous metals before heat treatment
Describe Martensite (not martensitic)
Body centred tetragonal crystal, ferrous metals heated above upper temperature and rapidly quenched
What is the critical temp of metals?
Phase at which changes occur during heating or cooling
Who has a 10 incher?
Lewis
Who is secretly a man?
Meghan bazeley
What is quenching?
Heating and rapidly cooling a material
What is annealing and can they be used on aircraft?
. Softens steels and relieves internal stresses ( soak 10^C above critical limit)
. Can’t be used on aircraft
What is normalising?
Heating steel to 38^C above upper limit and soaking, then left at room temperature to cool.
Any material that’s been welded or forged
What is tempering and what will it do to the material?
Used after quenching as the steel is brittle, decreases hardness and increases ductility. Can only be used for high carbon steel. Low temp process
What can steels temperature be determined with?
Crayons, pellets, paints that melt at certain temp
What is case hardening?
. Used for aircraft components under high pressure
. Makes outer layer hard and core stays soft
What is direct hardening?
. Flame induction/hardening process
. Surface heated very quickly then cooled very quickly
What is flame hardening?
Heating with fire torch then immediately quenching with jet of water
What is induction hardening?
. Heated by induction coil
. Them immediately quenched by water jet
