Mechanical Properties in Hot Forged Steel Parts in Relation to Properties in Corresponding Parts Made by Casting Solely

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is a common understanding that hot forging will improve the properties of a steel part in relation to when the same part is made by casting solely. A study has been performed where two crank pin disks of a particular steel alloy, one hot forged and the other cast, both in quenched and annealed condition, have been tested using a new innovative “eye”-specimen bending test. The used test procedure is described, and it is shown that the forged and the cast material will collapse and beak down in very different way in this test.
