Ti - Microalloyed Steel, Quenched From Hot Forging Temperature
Abstract
The aim of the paper presented here is to
develop the Ti - micralloyed Steel in otrer to
Oprtmize the mechanical Properties after direct
quenching from hot forging temperature. For this
purpose, Seven melts containing various amounts of
titanium were prepared and cast in metal and sand
molds. From the ingots, cast in metal mould, tractor
links were produced by hot forging. The produced
links were direct quenched from forging
temperature and then temperd to obtaine the
optimum microstructure and mechanical properties.
The results obtained from tensile, impact and
hardness tests along with the optical and scanning
electron microscopy examination showed that the
optimum microstructure and thus the optimum
mechanical properties belong to 0.01 wt%
Titanium-microalloyed steel.
