A simple technique to characterize the role of work hardness in hard part machining
Abstract
An experimental technique that employs a Jominy end quench test specimen for rapid characterization of the machining response of a steel with reference to its bulk hardness is presented. Employed widely by metallurgists to appraise the hardenability of a steel, the Jominy test entails the quenching of a standard cylindrical specimen from one end, on having heated it to the austenitizing temperature. The cooling rate at any transverse section of …
