An Investigation Of Microstructural Change Of Low Alloy Steel Aisi 4150 By Seebeck Coefficient, T Samran, P Termsuksawad
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
Low alloyed steels, whose hardness can be modified by heat treatment, have been widely used in various applications. After heat treatment, they are normally destructively characterized and tested by many approaches via optical microscope and hardness testing. It is useful to develop a non-destructive method relating to its properties and microstructures. The proposed non-destructive approach in this study is the Seebeck coefficient measurement. The materials in this study were carbon steels AISI 4150 rod with a diameter of 1.3 cm and length of 3 cm. The specimens were heat-treated at 900ºC for 1 hour and were then cooled to room …

Leucite-based glass-ceramics were prepared by controlled crystallization of suitable glass compositions to give required crystalline phase/s. Three glass batches in the system SiO2 - K2O - NaO2 - Al2O3 - TiO2 - CaO were prepared by varying K2O/SiO2 ratio, then melted and quenched. Glasses were characterized for onset of crystallization temperatures by differential thermal analysis (DTA), and heat treatments were carried out from 850 - 1000°C for 4 hours for controlled crystallization of leucite phase. Physical, chemical and crystal structure characterizations were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD found …
