Project Motivation

Scope of Work

• Objective: Collect data at WSU that can be publicly shared for ferrous metallurgy education through a website

Experimentally determine structure-property-processing relationships

Develop learning modules to make information interactive and interesting

•MSE 110 – Introduction to Materials Science

•MSE 320 – Material Structure-Property Laboratory

•MSE 401 – Metallic Materials

•ME 310 – Manufacturing Process

Applications in Courses at WSU

• 1020 & 4140 steels

•Microstructure predictions based on TTT curves

• Samples heat treated for 1 or 8 hours Aged at 427°C or Austenitized at 800°C Quenched, air cooled, or furnace cooled

Experiments

• Charpy impact test & Rockwell hardness test

• Stereoscope pictures of charpy fracture surface

•Microstructural characterization through optical microscopy
