The objective of this paper is to investigate the statistical properties of Vickers hardness (HV) for friction welded parts in a Ni-based super alloy (Alloy718). In the case of post weld heat treatment (PWHT) parts, hardness tests were repeated for three different applied loads, 100, 200, and 300 g, with a duration time of 10 seconds. The arithmetic means of the Vickers hardness in heat affected zone (HAZ) materials were smaller than those of the base metal (BM) in all of the applied loads. The coefficient of variation (COV) for the BM and HAZ decreased by increasing the applied load. The probability distribution of the Vickers hardness followed the Weibull distribution well. The distribution of the Vickers hardness was not found to be symmetric. The shape parameter and scale parameter increased by increasing the applied load at both the BM and HAZ.

In the present study, the Weibull statistical analysis using the Monte-Carlo simulation has been performed to investigate the micro-Vickers hardness measurement reliability considering the variability. Experimental indentation test were performed with a micro-Vickers hardness tester for as-received and quenching and tempering specimens in SCM440 steels. The distribution of micro-Vickers hardness is found to be 2-parameter Weibull distribution function. The mean values and coefficients of variation (COV) for both data set are compared with results based on Weibull statistical analysis. Finally, Monte-Carlo simulation was performed in order to evaluate the effect of sample size on the micro-Vickers hardness measurement reliability. For the parent distribution with shape parameter 30.0 and scale parameter 200.0 (COV=0.040), the number of sample data required to obtain the true Weibull parameters was founded by 20. For the parent distribution with shape parameter 10.0 and scale parameter 200.0 (COV=0.1240), the number of sample data required to obtain the true Weibull parameters was founded by 30.

The laser weld of AZ31 magnesium alloy was characterized with OM, EBSD and micros vickers hardness tester in experiment. EBSD analysis and micro-hardness measurements were carried out at the three regions (Equiaxed Zone, Columnar Dendrite Zone, Base Metal) of the welded AZ31Mg alloy sheets. The magnesium alloy show the rectangular shape bead in laser weld. EBSD analysis revealed that the three regions show the heterogeneous distribution of grain size and microtexture. Micro-hardness measurement also revealed that the heterogeneous distribution of microstructure contributed to the heterogeneous micro-hardness distribution in the three regions.

The objective of this paper is the investigation of the statistical properties of Vickers hardness (HV) of friction welded parts in nickel based super resisting steel, alloy 718 steel. First, we examine the statistical properties on the case of as-welded parts. Several Virkers indentations were made under same nominal conditions. This was repeated for three different applied loads, 100, 200 and 300g with a duration time, 10 second. The arithmetic mean of Vickers hardness in base metal (BM) materials is larger than that of HAZ in all applied loads. The measure of dispersion, that is, the coefficient of variation (COV) for BM and HAZ is decreased by increasing with the applied load. The distribution of Vickers hardness was not found to be symmetric type. The probability distribution of Vickers hardness was well followed Weibull distribution. The shape parameter and the scale parameter (characteristic hardness) are increased by increasing with the applied load, as both BM and HAZ.

Major problems in welding Al-7020 include shrinkage, rpopositgy in welds and loss of strength in the heat affected zone. Thus it is important to examine the mechanical properties and reliability of welds. In this study, a series of experiments was carried out to determine the mechanical properties such as micro-hardness distribution, tensile strength, porosity and residual stress distribution of the Al-7020 weldment made by pulse-GMA welding. The resuts of the experiemnts are as folows. 1) The micro-hardness of weld metal and heat affected zone was lower than that of the base metal. 2) The tensile strength of the deposited metal was much lower than that of the base metal. 3) The porrosity in weld metal zone was negligible under the adopted conditsion of experiemnts. 4) The residual stress in the weld metal was lower than that of the heat affected zone, because the weld metal was softened. And the mciro-hardness distribution, the tensile strength and the residual stess distribution of the weldment in the as-welded condition were compared with those of the weldment after heat treatment.

Vickers hardness is an important material in the design and reliability is required. Therefore, these values are very important as the basic data for design, manufacture and development, and the identification of quantitative probability distribution characteristics such as mean and dispersion is a very important parameter in design. In this study, Vickers hardness was measured after artificially heat-treated in the temperature range 753K, where chrome depletion near the grain boundary occurred for three kinds of stainless steels, and the Vickers hardness were evaluated. From the results, Vickers hardness increased with increasing heat treatment temperature. In Weibull distribution for Vickers hardness, the dispersion of STS310S at 813K and 873K was small, and the dispersion of STS316L at 753K, 933K and 993K was small. Also, STS347H exhibited the lowest dispersion at 753K in three kinds of stainless steels. The scale parameter increased with increasing heat treatment temperature in three kinds of stainless steels.

The purpose of the current study is to predict the hardness distribution in steel products after hot stamping using a quench factor analysis(QFA) coupled with FE-simulations. QFA is a method to predict properties such as hardness and tensile strength based on time-temperature-property(TTP) curves and can determine properties based on the temperature histories. The constants($K_1{\sim}K_5$) of QFA were determined using hardness data obtained after various cooling rates. In the current study, a rear side member was selected for evaluation and FE-simulations were performed to obtain the temperature histories during hot stamping. The predicted temperature data were imported into the QFA to calculate the hardness distribution of the hot stamped parts. A hot stamping experiment of the rear side member was conducted to verify the predicted hardness. The simulation results show good agreement with the experimental measurements.

The half-value breadth off-ray diffraction profile line is generally used for a factor in nondestructive hardness measuring method of steel. In this paper, the problem in using the half-value breadth for the hardness measuring method is evaluated in strain hardened steel. And new hardness measuring method using residual stress is proposed X-ray diffraction test after rolling contact fatigue test of ball bearing with inner race of various hardness are carried out to measure the distribution of residual stress and half-value breadth from surface. The result of this study shows that there is little correlation between half-value breadth and hardness in the higher strength region and in the region increasing the hardness by strain hardening. But the magnitude of residual stress on/under race after rolling contact fatigue test becomes clearly to be correlative with hardness. Thus, it is concluded that the hardness of strain hardened steel can be estimated by this relationship between residual stress and hardness.

A tungsten material using a pressure sintering process and a titanium sintering additive was prepared to evaluate the microstructure, and mechanical properties of flexural strength and hardness. In addition, the reliability on each hardness data was evaluated by analyzing the distribution of the hardness of the tungsten material using the Weibull probability distribution. In particular, the optimal manufacturing conditions were analyzed by analyzing the correlation between the sintering temperature and the mechanical properties of the tungsten sintered body. Although the sintering density of the tungsten material was hardly changed up to 1700 ℃, but it was increased at 1800 ℃. The hardness of the tungsten sintered material increased as the sintering temperature increased, and in particular, the tungsten material sintered at 1800 ℃ showed a high hardness value of about 1790 Hv. It showed relatively excellent flexural strength at a sintering temperature of 1800 ℃.
