The Effect of Tempering Temperature on Medium Carbon Steel Plate of Surface Hardening Result Using Induction Heating as Ballistic Resistant Material Study

摘要

Steel that has been heat treatment using quenching is hard but brittle.Tempering was done to remove the agility caused by the residual stress.The objective of this paper writing is to know and analyze the effect of tempering temperature on the mechanic property of steel plate of the surface hardening result.Steel plate with thickness of 8 mm of surface hardening result quenched by oil media was tempered at temperature of 100,200,300 and 400°C.Simulation based on finite element method was conducted to know the ballistic resistance.Experiment result showed that heating through induction and quenching on oil resulted in surface hardening.Tempering treatment decreased the hardness but at low temperature,the tensile strength increases.The simulation result showed that quenching and tempering material at temperature of 100°C was more able to resist the ballistic rate compared to other various temperatures.
