Heat treating process diagram
Cupola furnace
Used to make cast iron
Basic heat treating processes for steal are
1: hardening
2: tempering
3: annealing
4: normalizing
Hematite
Contains 70% iron
Verieis to black to brick red
Limonite
:Similar to hematite
:Contains water
:Brownish
:When water is removed it resembles hematite
Taconite
:low grade
:Contains 25-30% iron
: must be specially treated
Magnetite
:Rich black
: has the highest iron content
:not found in large quantities
Spark mild steel
Bright Long yellow spark stream
Spark test high carbon
Dark yellow burst and branch
Follows around wheel
Spark test stainless
Forked burst straw color moderate burst
Spark test nickel
Vary small orange
Spark test cast
Curved white many bursts
Martensitic stainless
Can be hardend
No nickel
Chromium
Ferritic stainless
Chromium
No nickel
Cutlery
Austenitic stainless
Chromium and nickel
Most common
Tensile strength
Ability of metal to pull without breaking
Make up of brass
Copper and zink
Toughness
The ability to resist impact
Ductility
Ability to be stretched without breaking ( TO BE DRAWN)
Identify by weight carbon steel
490
Identify by weight aluminum
160
Hardness
Resit penatrtion
Machiablity
Measures ease with which you can cut and shape.
Alloy steel types
:High strength low alloy
:Qt quench and temper structural steel high strength low alloy corrosion resistant
:maragering steel high nickel cobalt and molybdenum
Tool steel
High quality
Structure of soft steels
Pearlite consists of ferrite and cemetite
Structure of hardened steel
Martensite
Austintite formed..
When pearlite heated red hot only exists at high temp when cols go’s back to pearlite or martensite
Carbon content .65 to .80 hardning temp
1450 to 1550
Carbon content .80 to .95 hardening temp
1410 to 1460
Carbon content. .95 to 1.10 hardening temp
1390 to 1430
Carbon content 1.10 and over hardening temp
1380 to 1430
Full annealing is
Opposite of hardening converts martensite to pearlite
Full annealed by heating
Above upper critical temp for seels lessthan .85 carbon and above lower critical temp if have more than .85 carbon
