Optimization of 4145 Steel Heat Treatment Process: How to Improve the Balance Between Hardness and Toughness?
4145 steel (ASTM A29 standard) is a medium carbon chromium-molybdenum alloy steel. It is widely used in key areas such as oil drill collars and heavy shaft parts due to its excellent strength, wear resistance and fatigue resistance. However, the optimization of its heat treatment process directly determines the balance between hardness and toughness, [...]
