TIG Yöntemiyle Yüzeyi Sertleştirilen AISI 4140 Çeliğinin Mikroyapı İncelemesi
Bu çalışmada, AISI 4140 çeliğinin yüzeyi gaz tungsten ark (TIG veya GTA) tekniği
kullanılarak SiC ve C tozları ile modifiye edilmiştir. Kaplanan malzemelerin mikroyapılarında işlem
şartlarının değiştirilmesiyle, ara yüzeye doğru kalınlıkları değişen yönlenmiş dendritlerle birlikte,
farklı Fe, C, Cr, Mo ve Si içerikli M7C3, M23C6, M2C, M3C, Fe3C, Fe2C karbürleri elde edilmiştir.
Aynı zamanda mikroyapılarda farklı grafit taneciklerine de rastlanılmıştır. Sertlik değerleri yapıdaki
mevcut faz ve karbürlerin varlığından dolayı önemli ölçüde artmıştır. Mikrosertlik değerleri üst
tabaka kalınlığı boyunca 800-1400 HV arasında değişim gösterirken, ara yüzeye doğru gidildikçe
sertlik değerlerinde bir azalma görülmüştür. En yüksek sertlik (1386 HV); 0,55 cm/s üretim hızında,
1-0,2 g/s SiC/C toz yedirme değerinde ve 28,6 kJ/cm enerji girdisi ile üretilen kaplama tabakasından
elde edilmiştir.
Investigation Of Microstructure Of Hardfaced AISI 4140 Steel By TIG Welding Process
In this study, a AISI 4140 steel surface was modified with SiC and C alloying powders
by using of a gas tungsten arc (TIG or GTA) welding process. The results obtained from
microstructural investigations indicate that the dendritic solidification resulting from eutectic
reaction was observed in the modified layers together with the formation of M7C3, M23C6, M2C,
M3C, Fe3C, Fe2C carbides at different shapes and rates. Additionally, different graphite precipitates
were found in the microstructures of specimens. Hardness values of the coating layers increased
because of existing phase and carbides in the microstructure. Hardness values of materials changed
between 800-1400 HV along the modified layer then it decreased in interface regions. The highest
hardness on coated layers measured as (1386 HV) which was produced at 0,55 cm/s production
speed, 28,6 kJ/cm energy input and 1-0,2 g/s SiC/C powder content, respectively.
