Thank you both for your responses.
Unfortunately, I still haven't found the information for the second part of the question though - the dreaded refractories!
What I need to ascertain are what are the different bonding techniques of the three types of refractory, and what types of ceramic are...
TVP, thanks for your reply. It was some helpful links I was after as I will need to show evidence/proof that I actually understand the possible causes of the materials failure, and right now, I don't.
Salmon2 & Stanweld, just a further point. You've mention that the part could have got worn out too quick and is being read from the inner material and not the carburized layer, which is why the RHC value is being read as 30. Why could this happen? And what possible solutions are there to...
Salmon2 and Stanweld, thank you both for your replies. I still have absolutely no idea about this question. I will use your suggestions though and scour the internet some more to try and help find an answer.
Salmon2, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, the question originates from an assignment question, but I'm completely stumped. The question implies that during a routine maintenance inspection, the teeth on a carburized alloy steel gear wheel are found to have worn away. As previously...
Hi there,
I wondered if someone may be able to offer me some pointers with this one. Bit of a "weird" one but I'm studying for a HNC in electrical engineering, although one of my subjects is Materials Engineering. For an assignment, I have to identify component parts of a helicopter that...
Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction as to where I might find some answers on this question.
I need to suggest some possible causes for the failure of a carburized alloy steel gear, which was meant to have a surface hardness of RHC60, but, after an in-service...
