Description
Many industries have found that a “sweet spot” exists for retained austenite content to achieve a balance of fatigue/impact strength and dimensional stability.
To improve the health life of a component of a carburised steel, it is important to know how deep the carburised layer should be. If the layer is not deep enough, the component will fail In this module the retained austenite in case hardened components will be explained. The carburisation depth will be analysed to avoid failures. Finally, it is also important to know what to do to ‘stop off’ the carburising when a component part needs to be protected. That point will be explained in the ‘Stopping Off’ section.
What you will learn
- Explain the Retained Austenite in Case Hardened Components;
- Detect the application to prevent failures in Carburised Steels;
- Interpret the way of stopping off the carburising part of a component;
- Select carburising steels for the correct application.
