Abstract:In this paper, the mechanical properties and microstructures of AISI4140 low alloy steel under different tempering conditions are investigated. The samples are quenched, tempered to a martensite structure and loaded to fracture by means of Charpy machine according to standard test. Fractography analysis showed that the morphology fracture surface was changed by increasing tempering temperature. The variation of energy of Charpy impact fracture as a function of tempering temperature exhibits minimum values at 3… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
