Optimization of cryogenic treatment to maximize the wear resistance of 18% Cr martensitic stainless steel by Taguchi method

Evaluation of wear performance of cryogenically treated Vanadis 4 Extra tool steel

“…In the longer holding times, the progress of the carbon segregation increases carbide precipitate sizes, thereby decreasing the number of carbides and their homogenized distribution. This is in agreement with the previous studies reported in the literature [23][24][25][26]. In this study, tempering was carried out at temperatures of 175 and 525…”

Effect of sub-Zero Treatment on Ageing of Aluminium Composite

“…Existent literature studies stated that subzero heat treatment could be applied especially for steel materials and that this treatment enhanced the strength in particular toughness, corrosion resistance and fatigue properties [15]- [17], [23]. Heat treated material properties can be significantly affected by subzero level as well as the rate of temperature decreasing and holding time of lowest temperature [23]- [26].…”

“…In the current studies on age hardenable Al 7075alloys [12], [13], micro structure of the alloy can be improved, and advanced mechanical properties can also be obtained [14]. On the other hand, subzero process techniques have been partially used and studied in order to improve the overall material structure and properties [15]- [17]. Studies on the sub-zero treatments of Al and its alloys have been gradually increased [14], [18].…”

Effect of deep sub-zero treatment on mechanical properties of AA5XXX aluminum plates adjoined by MIG welding technique

“…Although the main mechanisms are still obscure, substantial improvements to mechanical properties are well noticed [28][29][30]. As a result, several studies on the e ects of cryogenics on the behavior of Al alloys have been recently developed [26,31].…”
