| Abstract Scope |
The mechanical strength of an experimental steel was evaluated by tensile tests as a function of the austenitic grain size in a medium-carbon steel and low-alloy Fe-1.0Cr-1.0Mo-0.30V. The prior austenitic grain was modified by heat treatment through austenitizing parameters, temperature and time. In turn, the austenitic grain size was determined by the oxidation method and etching to reveal and quantify the boundaries and grain size. To evaluate the effect of the austenitic grain on the strength, the tension test was used under different treatment conditions: normalized, annealing and quenching with brine and oil. Finally, from the results obtained, it was observed that the tensile strength depends on the prior grain size and the treatment condition. In this sense, the strength increased in the specimens with smaller grain size in their respective conditions, while the percentage of elongation decreased with the cooling severity of heat treatment. |
