Question: b which steels can be quenched in agitated oil to...
Question details
b) Which steels can be quenched in agitated oil to produce a minimum hardness of 30 HRC in the middle of a 1.5-inch diameter bar. Support your choices with construction lines on the provided figures.
c) Only 1-inch thick rectangular bar is available for 4140 ally steel. To control distortion the bar cannot be quenched in brine. Can this rectangular bar be used to obtain a minimum hardness of 50 HRC in its center? If yes, which quenchant(s)? Support your choice with construction lines on the provided figures.
d) What diameter of steel bar quenched in brine will have the same cooling rate as a 1.0-inch diameter steel bar quenched in agitated oil? Support your choices with construction lines on the provide Figures
