Additional Data on the Effect of Cooling Rate on the Fatigue Properties of Carburized Steels

Posted on May 10, 2016 by Steel Market Development Institute

In the previous post, the effects of a cooling rate change after carburizing, due to a change in steel bar diameter, on core fatigue properties was examined.  The data was developed for a Ni-Cr-Mo low alloy steel (SAE 4320), and … Continue reading →

Effect of Cooling Rate after Carburizing on the Fatigue Properties of Carburized Steels

Posted on April 12, 2016 by Steel Market Development Institute

In earlier posts, the fatigue properties of various carburized low alloy steels were examined.  Both case and core properties were evaluated.  Since carburized components are manufactured in various section sizes, it can be expected that cooling rates in the cores … Continue reading →

If Fatigue Data is Not Available, Is There a Means of Estimating Fatigue Performance?

Posted on April 22, 2015 by Steel Market Development Institute

Detailed fatigue data for a given combination of steel grade and processing offers the best means of determining fatigue performance when designing an automotive component.  However, in some instances, where only mechanical properties and hardness are available, methods have been … Continue reading →
