Effect of Varying Carbon Content and Shot Peening upon Fatigue Performance of Prealloyed Sintered Steels

The aim of the work was to find out how the modification of surface treatment and microstructures affect the fatigue characteristics of the considered sintered materials.Two different systems were prepared:as-sintered and shot peened prealloyed sintered(Astaloy CrL based)steels with addition of 0.5%and 0.7%C.Sintering was carried out in laboratory tube furnace in an atmosphere of pure gases 75%N2+25%H2.The sintering temperature was 1180-C and sintering time was 60 min.Heating and cooling rates were 10-C/min...
