Structural and Mechanical Characteristics of AISI 420
The temperature influence on the structural and mechanical properties of AISI 420 stainless steel is studied. The iron-based alloy underwent normalizing at three temperatures 975, 1025, and 1075°C for 1 h, followed by annealing at temperatures ranging from 250 to 650°C for 2 h. At both treatment stages, steel is air-cooled. The material was …
