Diffractografic Analysis of AISI 420 Steel

Abstract

The paper presents a study on the structure of AISI 420 steel after heat treatments. The experiments start with a spectral analysis for determination of percents for alloying elements. Based on obtained results was establish of heat treatments parameters, which can be applied on AISI 420 steel. By thermal processing can be influenced positive on structural modifications and implied on mechanical properties. Structural modifications were highlight by X-ray diffraction analysis.
