Effect of Hot Work on Hardness and Impact Toughness of Heat Treated Low Alloy Steels

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of hot work reduction ratio on the hardness and impact toughness of different grades of low alloy steels. The effect of hot rolling and hot forging with different reduction ratios on the hardness and impact toughness properties will be studied. An extensive study will be carried out to investigate the effect of alloying additions and TMT parameters on the hardness and impact toughness of heat-treated low alloy steels. An understanding of the combined effect of TMT and heat treatment on the hardness and impact toughness of the low alloy steels would help in selecting conditions required to achieve optimum mechanical properties and alloy high strength to weight ratio.
