Abstract

EN-9 is one of the steel grades, and it is widely used in power plants, automobiles, and the aerospace sector. The availability and ductility of EN9 steel have been limited. Heat-treatment procedures are used to increase the hardness, wear resistance, and percentage of elongation. The main intention of this study is to discover the effect of heat treatment on EN8 steel. In this work, the various kinds of heat-treatment methods like annealing, normalizing, hardening, and tempering were carried out on EN-8 steel. Mechanical properties like hardness, tensile strength, and percentage of elongation are evaluated. The microstructure is examined and compared, before and after the heat treatment process. Hardening and tempering results indicated that EN8 steel has better hardness, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation when compared to EN9 steel.
