Investigation of Heat Treatment on Mechanical Properties of SAE4320 and SAE8620 Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

The tensile and impact properties of SAE4320 and SAE8620 alloys were investigated. Various heat treatments were applied to these two alloys, including different pre-heat treatment. The results shown that after Carburizing and Quenching, both SAE4320 and SAE8620 alloys were highly sensitively to V-notches for their impact samples. In any case, SAE4320 alloy revealed higher tensile strength, better impact toughness and deformation property. Previous work shown that after Carburizing and Quenching, the impact toughness of SAE8620 alloy was too low, the products made of it was very dangerous. Based on the results, a new advanced product was made of SAE4320 alloy instead of SAE8620 alloy. And the new product exhibited good properties. The impact value of the new product far exceeded the older products.
