Chapter 3, Problem 3.2P

High-strength steel is required for use in building structures and equipment (e.g., cranes). It is produced by heat treating quench-hardened steel in a process called tempering that reduces brittleness and imparts toughness. In a production facility, alloy steel plates ( k = 50 W/m K, c = 460 J/kg K, and ρ = 7865 kg/m3) of thickness 3.0 cm have to be tempered in a convective oven by heating them to 550°C. If the plates are initially at 40°C and the air inside the heat treating oven is at 700°C with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 45 W/m2 K, determine how long the plate has to remain in the oven.

Needle ball bearings, D=5-mm, H=26-mm, are heated up to 1200 K in a heat treatment furnace where the micro-structure is transformed from pearlite to austenite. As soon as taken out of the furnace, they are quenched in water having T=286 K and h=174 W/m2K to transform the micro- structure from austenite to martensite. Find the time required for cooling the bearings to T=326 K. Assume the bearings are perfectly cylindrical and made of AISI 347 Steel. H
The cooling rate (in °C/s) at the center of a shaft with diameter d (in mm) is given by the following formula log 10(CR) -1.8024 log 10(d) + 4.0565 %3D and the critical cooling rate (CCR in °C/s) of low alloys steels is given as a function of amount of alloying element (in wt%6) as follow. log 10(CCR)= 4.3-3.27×C- (Mn + Cr+Mo+ Ni) 1.6 Find the maximum diameter (in mm) of a shaft to be made of alloy A (such that 100% martensite will be produced after quenching) from the following table is given below: Alloy Weight Percentage (wr%) Mn Cr Mo Ni A 03 08 05 02 055 0.4 0.6 1.2 0.3 5 0 36 0.7 15 255 0.4 06 12 0.15 5 0 41 0 85o 5 o 25 o s5 04 0.65 0 75 0 25 p.85
