Experimental Research Concerning Structural and Hardness Stability of 100Cr6 Steel Parts

Article Preview

Abstract:

The efficiency, precision, and expected lifespan of mechanisms and machine components (such as ball bearings, couplings, and gauges) are significantly influenced by the quality of the materials used. Thus, it is essential to select materials that offer well-defined hardness and stability throughout the product's lifetime. This paper examines the heat treatment applied to 100Cr6 steel to achieve precise hardness in the range of 230–390 HV10, while also meeting requirements for stability and uniformity over the product's lifespan.
