A compositional analysis was performed to ascertain the percentage of carbon in the asreceived materials. The specimens were machined to a precise gauge length and diameter and exposed to various cycles of heat at each temperature. A fatigue test was also performed with the use of Avery Dennison and bending stress was obtained using the curve supplied with the machine. The results from the machine were converted to Mega Pascal (MPa) and the values used to plot S-N curves and fatigue resistance for the specimens at various cycles and different temperatures were established.展开更多

Three stages of programming were used in modeling the microstructures. The first stage was iteration of the voronoi cells in order to obtain equivalent grain size with experimental specimens. In the second stage, the pearlite phase was introduced using the lever rule represented by a plot of random points. The third layer was modeled to reveal the grain boundaries of the carbon steels. The values of the grain sizes of modeled microstructures showed good agreement with experimental values. The study has shown that the microstructures can be modeled fairly accurately thus enabling a fairly quick export of geometric models on to some other finite element packages for analysis of stress-strain effect on microstructure and generally a stressmicrostructure response could be determined.展开更多
