Microstructual Evaluation of 13Cr-2Ni-2Mo Stainless Steel Quenched by Induction Heating

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, a 5 mm diameter 13Cr-2Ni-2Mo stainless steel shaft was quenched by induction heating by using a 15 mm diameter coil and the influence of the induction heating process on the material’s microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated by laser confocal scanning microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Vickers hardness testing. Through the heat treatment process, the hardness increased two-fold and the XRD pattern changed indicating occurrence of martensitic transformation. Based on these results, it is concluded that induction heating can be used as a quick method of hardening 13Cr-2Ni-2Mo alloy steel.
