| Summary: | Variety of techniques and technologies has been applied in the he~t treatment
of steels since long time before. The objective of the steel's heat treatment is to alter
some of their properties to be fit with the application of the steels. This project
studied the hardness and compression strength of heat treated low carbon steels using
statistical analysis. The heat treatment that has been carried out on the low carbon
steel are carburizing, quenching and tempering. The carburizing process is the pack
carburizing with wilcarbo powder as the carburizing agent. Oil quenching and
tempering were applied to the low carbon steel after the carburizing process. 1n order
to determine the hardness and compression strength of the treated low carbon steel,
Rockwell hardness test and compression test were used. The test results of the
mechanical testing of the untreated and heat treated low carbon steel were compared
and analysed using hypothesis test . The results of the hardness and compression
strength together with the hypothesis test results were discussed and finally the
findings of the studies were concluded. |
