This study investigates tensile deformation of the stress aging heat-treated SM45C steel which are aging temperature at 250, 300℃, aging time at 1,3 hours, and applied load at 300, 400N conditions by using acoustic emission (AE). A signal processing...
This study investigates tensile deformation of the stress aging heat-treated SM45C steel which are aging temperature at 250, 300℃, aging time at 1,3 hours, and applied load at 300, 400N conditions by using acoustic emission (AE). A signal processing technology used to evaluate an AE source characterization by 2 AE measurement systems, i.e., DiSP & PCI-2 AE hardware and AEwin™ software. In this study, most suitable aging condition appeared at 250℃, 3 hours and 300N. On the other hand, in case of 250℃, 3 hours, 400N and 300℃, 3 hours, 400N conditions, yield load decreased than other conditions according to the over-aging phenomena. Especially, In case of 300℃, 3 hours and 400N condition appeared AE energy in elastic limit fairly high than non-heat treatment specimen.
