Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a scenario where a component made from regular hardened steel fails under load due to brittleness. Discuss how austempering could improve its performance and provide a detailed explanation of the mechanism behind this improvement.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the differences between martensite and bainite microstructures.

Question 2

Analyze the impact of salt bath temperature on the austempering process. How does it affect the mechanical properties of the resultant steel?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how temperature affects microstructure formation and its associated mechanical properties.
