Abstract:
Steel has been the backbone of many streams and automobiles are not an exception. Heat treatment is an eternal part of processing steel for the required use. In quenching it is observed that 41Cr4 steel has a tendency to develop crack due to the difference in cooling. The objective here is to polymer quench 41Cr4 steel to reduce the quench cracks and improve the hardness quality of the steel. In this paper we will discuss the theory of quenching process and the experiment carried out in where 41Cr4 steel is polymer quenched to achieve the desired hardness along with reducing in quench cracks. The polymer quenching for certain concentrations have shown good results, the hardness and crack detection tests have a good agreement with it. The obtained results can be helpful in the study of heat treatment process done on 41Cr4 steel.
