Abstract

Materials play a crucial role in shaping human history and civilization, with metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites being fundamental to advancements in science and technology. Among metals, steel is favored in the manufacturing industry for its superior hardness and toughness. The heat treatment process significantly influences the material properties of steel. This study employs a PMI Master Smart Oxford OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry) device for composition analysis, an optical microscope for microstructural examination, and the Vickers method for hardness testing. AISI 1040 steel specimens were heated in a muffle furnace at 720 ℃ for 60 min, followed by quenching in cold water (5 ℃), room temperature water (30 ℃), and hot water (70 ℃). The results showed that the specimen quenched in cold water exhibited the highest hardness value of 258.39 HV, with a microstructure comprising 45.45% pearlite and 54.55% ferrite. In contrast, the specimen quenched in hot water displayed the lowest hard- ness value of 215.09 HV, with a microstructure consisting of 29.20% pearlite and 70.80% ferrite. These findings highlight the significant impact of quenching medium temperature on the hardness and microstructural characteristics of AISI 1040 steel.
