Bending Characteristics of Carburized Low Carbon Steel
Experimental and Numerically Study |
|
This research includes experimental and
numerical studies by using finite element method to study the
effect of carburized low carbon steel for different beams width
on the hardiness and bending properties. The back of
carburization consists from hardwood charcoal mixed with barium
carbonate as the Activator. The specimens were carburized using
(30%) of Activator at temperature equal to (900ºC) for five
hours. The modulus of elasticity obtained from experimental work
used in FEM (ANSYS) to calculate flexural strength, maximum
strain and maximum shear stress and these results increase with
carburized low carbon steel. The results of the study showed
that the Vickers micro hardness increased, the maximum flexural
strength (1750 MPa) and maximum shear stress was (121.5 MPa) at
width (16 mm) for the experimental results carburized low carbon
steel. The experimental, finite element and analytical results
obtained for the bending analysis are approximately agreement.
