Acknowledgements • Association for Iron and Steel Technology Foundation (AIST Foundation), FeMET Curriculum Development Program • American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) • Buddy Damm, Timken Steel
Overview • Project Motivation • Experiments • Results used for Website Development • Educational Modules • Future Research
Project Motivation • Ferrous Metallurgy Education Today curriculum development • Promote steel education • Encourage study of steel and careers in the steel industry • Enrich course material • Increasing MSE class sizes
Scope of Work • Objective: Collect data at WSU that can be publicly shared for ferrous metallurgy education through a website • Experimentally determine structure-property-processing relationships • Develop learning modules to make information interactive and interesting
Applications in Courses at WSU • MSE 110 – Introduction to Materials Science • MSE 320 – Material Structure-Property Laboratory • MSE 401 – Metallic Materials • ME 310 – Manufacturing Process
Experiments • 1020 & 4140 steels • Microstructure predictions based on TTT curves • Samples heat treated for 1 or 8 hours • Aged at 427°C or Austenitized at 800°C • Quenched, air cooled, or furnace cooled
Experiments • Charpy impact test & Rockwell hardness test • Stereoscope pictures of charpy fracture surface • Microstructural characterization through optical microscopy
Enhancing steel education through a website Making experimental data available to engineering students Encouraging interest in the steel industry Summary
Future Research (1) • Additions to current data • SEM photographs • Analysis of charpy fracture surface • Analysis of microstructure constituents • Tensile testing • Nanoindentation
Future Research (2) • Case hardening through carburization • Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) • TRIP • Dual Phase
