Abstract:Martensitic steels used for ball mill liners were prepared. The effect of tempering on the microstructures, Rockwell hardness, and impact toughness of the tested steels was evaluated at room temperature. The fracture morphologies were observed by using metallurgical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The results showed that tempering decreased the Rockwell hardness and significantly improved the impact toughness of the tested steel. However, the impact toughness of the… 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.
