The Effect of Cr and Ni Addition on Mechanical Properties of Plain Carbon Steel

Özet

In this study, the effect of Cr-Ni addition on the mechanical properties of plain carbon steel was investigated. For this purpose, Cr-Ni (wt. % 0.5-3) was added to the matrix containing 0.5 C with powder metallurgy method. The tensile test, micro hardness measurement and microstructure analysis were performed to investigate the effect of the additions on the mechanical properties. As a result, it was determined that the added alloying elements increased the mechanical properties, but the mechanical properties decreased with the amount of alloying elements increasing after 1% wt. due to the powder metallurgy process.
