Metallurgical band examination

TEST FOR METALLURGICAL BAND EXAMINATION AND CLASSIFICATION

Purpose
A morphological evaluation is performed in order to define the directional distribution (bands) of the ferrite and pearlite in case hardening steels (carburizing).

Description
The observation is made at 50X and, by comparison with reference images contained in the standard, it is possible to evaluate the degree of band microstructure ratio.

What is it for?
It allows to give a band microstructure ratio.

On what this analysis is performed / sampling
The sample is obtained by making a longitudinal section in an area of the component that depends on the size of the sample. The sample is then heat treated in order to properly evaluate the bands.

Reference Standards
UNI 3137:1965 UNI 4227:1973 UNI 8449:1993 UNI
