Metal
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Heat Treatment | a controlled process used to change the microstructure of metals and alloys by controlled heating and cooling at various rates which results in a “forced” transformation. |
| Factors that effect heat treatment effectiveness | 1 Metal & Alloy Additions 2 Microstructure 3 Prior Hot and Cold Work Treatments 4 Rate of Heating and Cooling |
| Stress relief/process annealing | heat treating process where you heat the steel to a temperature below the critical range to relieve the residual stresses resulting from hot rolling, welding, shearing, or gas cutting. It does not change the material's structure |
| Annealing | a heat treatment process used mostly to increase ductility and reduce the hardness of a material |
| Quenching | It is the rapid cooling of a heat treated metal |
| Normalizing | can be done immediately after quenching, used to remove the stresses due to welding, cold working or severe quenching. It provides a faster cooling rate than annealing |
| Tempering | re-heating to moderate temperatures with slow cooling, used to increase ductility machinability and impact strength |
| LPI | Liquid Penetrant Inspection |
| A very gentle method of cooling | Air Quenching (cooling in the air) |
| Fastest form of quenching? | Water or Brine Quenching |
| Visual test | Look at the color, shine, weight, surface finish of the metal |
| Changing the structure from Austenite to Martensite causes | the structure to be brittle, strong and hard |
| Distortion | Caused by non-uniform heating and cooling of weld zone and base metal |
| Chemical Test | dropping chemicals on a metal’s surface to look for color change or reaction. |
| Magnetic test | Helps sort ferrous and non-ferrous metal |
| Mill test certificates | show the alloys in metal and tell you how to properly heat the metal |
