| Summary: | Nowadays, the major challenge in engineering field is to improve the properties of
steels in order to meet the entire engineering requirement. A better toughness,
strength and ductility of steels can be achieved by applying several types of heat
treatments and surface treatments. In this study, the effects of quenching and
tempering of carburized low alloy steel on hardness and compression strength are
investigated. There are two conditions of specimens; carburized and uncarburized
low alloy steels. The carburized specimens then face different phases of heat
treatments. The phases of heat treatments are carburizing and normalizing;
carburizing, quenching and normalizing; and carburizing, quenching, tempering and
normalizing. Then, the specimens are tested by using Rockwell hardness test and
compression test. The data obtained will be analyzed and a comparison will be
carried out by using statistical analysis. |
