A 0.25% C hypoeutectoid plain-carbon steel is slowly cooled from 950°C to a temperature just slightly below 723°C.(a) Calculate the weight percent proeutectoid ferrite in the steel.(b) Calculate the weight percent eutectoid ferrite and weight percent eutectoid cementite in the steel.
The chemical composition of X38CrMoV5-3 steel is given in the table below.
b) This steel is austenitized at 1050 ° C and hardened by giving water in oil (completely martensite structure has been formed and has a hardness of 57 HRC) and tempered at 510 ° C to reduce its hardness (54 HRC) and gain toughness. In addition, it is desired to harden the surface by nitration. In order to achieve the desired surface hardness, liquid nitration should be done at 600 ° C, gas nitration at 510 ° C and plasma nitration at 450 ° C. Which nitration method do you prefer? Why is that?
Question-5
(a) Describe the structural changes that take place when a 0.4%-C plain-carbon steel is slowly
cooled from the austenitic region just above the upper transformation temperature.
(b) What is a binary eutectic alloy system? Mention all important points. Give some examples.
