Observation of Furnace-Induction Quenched Microstructure in High Carbon High Chromium Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

There are two major heating methods used in industrial situations. One is furnace heating which is popular for mass production as it hardens the steel uniformly. The other is induction heating which is energy saving but hardens the steel unevenly. We developed a combined heat treatment method, furnace-induction heating (FIH), and observed the material structure using picral and nital etching.
