lab 5: heat treatment of steel
- harden heat treatment (quenching)
- the cooling rate to create martensite is called “the critical cooling rate”
- the critical cooling rate mainly depends on chemical composition

phase diagrams
- phase
- uniform chemical composition (usually)
- surround by boundaries and can be identified under a microscope
- used to show the different phases that can occur with alloys systems
- based on chemical composition and temperature
- AISI : American Iron and Steel Institute
- C1010
- first 2 digits alloy family; 10 : plain carbon steel
- last 2 digits is the percent of carbon
- C1010
- ferrite : BCC, UTS ~ 30ksi or under 250mpa

- anode - only one reaction can occur at the anode; anode loses electrons (oxidation)
- cathode - 4 possible reactions; accepts electrons (reduction)
- electrolyte
- pathway for electron travel

- anodic reaction: (Zinc)
- losing electron
- \[Zn \to Zn^{2^+} + 2e^-\]

- aerated acidic environment
- corrosion definition: deterioation of a material due to a reaction with its environment; non metals can corrode as well
- corrosion accounts for billions of dollars in lost material
- cost of corrosion can fall into 2 categories
- direct
- replacement costs (value, labor, paint, etc.)
- indirect
- down time
- loss of production
- loss of a customer
- direct
- 2 main types of corrosion
- dry
- elevated temps
- wet
- a liquid phase has to be present
- dry
- 8 types of wet corrosion
- group 1: general (uniform) form 1
- group 2: localized:
- galvanic corrosion - 2
- sometimes called 2-metal corrosion
- 3 requirements
- electrochemically different metals
- electrically connect
- must be exposed to an electrolyte
- area effect of galvanic corrosion
- large anode + small cathode = low corrosion rate @ anode
- small anode + large cathode = high corrosion rate @ anode
- prevention
- avoid dissimilar metals if possible
- if dissimilar metals are used, insulate them from each other
- use a 3rd metal to act as a sacrificial anode
- inhibitors
- crevice - 3
- sometimes called gasket corrosion
- occurs in gaps or cracks where an electrolyte can get into
- prevention
- eliminate any crevices or cracks (welding or coating)
- non-absorbant gasket or insulating material
- pitting - 4
- very similar to crevice corrosion but can occur on open surfaces
-2 steps
- initiation
- propogation
- occurs on metals like stainless steel where the oxide layer gets damaged
- once initiation begins a crevice is tarted and corrosion takes off
- prevention
- smooth surfaces have better have better pitting resistance than rough surfaces
- inhibitors
- coating
- very similar to crevice corrosion but can occur on open surfaces
-2 steps
- intergranular - 5
- this form of corrosion occurs at the grain boundaries.
- gain boundaries become anodic due to a different chemical composition.
- when this occurs the metal will fall apart
- cold worked Al + chlorides will undergo this type of corrosion and its called exfoliation
- dealloying (selective leaching) - 6
- occurs in alloys where one element becomes anodic and is leached out.
- eg. Brass => cooper (cathode) & Zn (anode) (reddish - copper, yellowish - brass)
- galvanic corrosion - 2
- group 3: cracking
- stress corrosion cracking (SCC) - 7
- 3 requirements
- Susceptible material
- Corrosive environment
- Tensile stress (can be applied or residual)
- Many materials are prone to SCC - Al, Ti, Cu, Austenitic Stainless
- E.g
- Brass + ammonia = not good
- Austenitic stainless steel + chlorides = not good
- One prevention is to minimize the tensile stress
- 3 requirements
- hydrogen induced cracking - 8
- Caused by the interaction of atomic hydrogen and a metal
- Atomic is small enough migrate through steel if it get strapped in a void in the steel H_2 gas forms damaged the steel as the pressure builds.
- With pressure vessel plate or any metals used for valves (petroleum) fully killed steel is required.
- stress corrosion cracking (SCC) - 7
- erosion is inluded
- cavitation
- flashing
- note: corrosion is a chemical reaction
- factors that affect corrosion
- material properties
- chemical composition
- metallurgical factors
- cold working increases, corrosion increases
- residual stress (welding)
- inclusions
- multiple phases
- material properties
