6、der review and have not been balloted. Left in reference to SAE J409. Added ASTM E 112 to section 2.1.2. 1. SCOPE Restricted hardenability steels have been in use for some time but the specific restrictions for a particular grade depend upon customer needs and vary from mill to mill. Such steels are

7、 desirable to provide more controlled heat treatment response and dimensional control for critical parts. Because of increasing interest in steels with restricted hardenability, the SAE Iron and Steel Technical Committee directed Division 8 to prepare a set of standard steels with restricted hardena

8、bility.In 1993, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) adopted the twelve SAE restricted hardenability steels and added ten more. SAE decided to include in SAE J1868 the additional 10 steels. In general, steels with restricted hardenability (RH steels) will exhibit a hardness range no

9、t greater than 5 HRC at the initial position on the end-quench hardenability bar and not greater than 65% of the hardness range for standard H-band steels (see SAE J1268) in the “inflection“ region. Generally the restricted hardenability band follows the middle of the corresponding standard H-band.

10、An example of the RH band compared with the standard H-band is given for SAE 4140 in Figure 1. 2.

GRADES OF STEEL The RH steels and their corresponding minimum and maximum composit

14、ion limits are shown in Table 1 for a group of 22 alloy steels covering a nominal carbon content range of 0.10 to 0.60%. As the need arises for restricted hardenability in other grades, they will be added to the standard. 4. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION LIMITS To meet restricted hardenability, yet provide f

15、lexibility for producers, composition limits are the same as those given in SAE J404. (These limits are somewhat narrower than allowed for standard H-steels.) It should be understood that alloys which satisfy the restricted hardenability band will fall within SAE J404 composition limits, but not all

16、 steels melted to the composition limits would meet the required RH-band. The limits are given in Table 1, and as indicated in the footnotes, are subject to permissible variations for product analysis and may contain certain levels of elements not specified. 5. IDENTIFICATION As a means of identifyi

17、ng steels specified to restricted hardenability band limits, the suffix letters RH have been added to the conventional series number. It is important that steel consumers use this special identifying designation in specification requirements, as there is no other means of determining when restricted

18、 hardenability band limits apply. When the special identification is used, the steel shall conform to all conditions pertaining to chemical composition limits, restrictions, testing technique, and so forth, as outlined herein. 6. GRAIN SIZE The limits set forth for RH-bands are intended to apply to

19、steels exhibiting a fine austenitic grain size (ASTM No. 5 or finer; see ASTM E 112). SAE J1868 Revised FEB2010 Page 3 of 287. USE OF RESTRICTED HARDENABILITY LIMITS For specification purposes, one must use the tabulated values of Rockwell hardness (HRC) as a function of distance from the quenched e

20、nd of the hardenability bar, either in metric (SI) units (millimeters) or U.S. customary units (sixteenths of an inch). Values below 20 HRC are not specified because such values are not as accurate. Band limits are also shown graphically and are so depicted for convenience in estimating the hardness

21、 values at various intermediate locations on the end quench test bar and for quick comparisons of the various RH grades. The values of Approximate Diameter of Rounds with Same As-Quenched Hardness shown above each RH-band, were selected from the ranges appearing in Figure 7 of SAE J406. The RH-bands

22、 are presented graphically, with distances from the quenched end in both metric (SI) units and U.S. customary units. The hardenability testing technique used as a basis for acceptance shall be in accordance with SAE J406. For specification purposes, RH-band steels shall be within the minimum and max

23、imum HRC range specified at the J1 (J1.5 mm) position and shall meet one additional minimum and one additional maximum HRC value. In this specification, the two additional hardness values shall represent the approximate hardness for 50% martensite for the minimum and maximum specified carbon content

24、, respectively (except where hardenability is too high to exhibit 50% martensite hardness; then the additional two control hardness points shall be 5 HRC below the minimum and maximum hardness specified at the J1 (J1.5 mm) position). In general, these points define the critical locations of the Jomi

25、ny hardenability band for purposes of characterizing heat treatment response. The four specification points are circled in the tables of hardness versus Jominy distance and on the RH-bands. For a portion of the curve not exceeding 5 mm or 3/16 in (not including the control points), a tolerance of tw

26、o points HRC is permitted. For example, referring to the right-hand hardness limit table in Figure 1, a hardenability test bar of a steel meeting the requirements for 4140RH must exhibit a hardness at J1 not less than 54 HRC nor more than 59 HRC. At J12, the test bar must exhibit hardness not less t

27、han 43 HRC, but the maximum hardness can be as high as 52 HRC (or even 54 HRC if this region of the test bar is chosen as the exception). At J20, the bar must exhibit hardness not greater than 47 HRC, but the minimum hardness can be as low as 37 HRC (or as low as 35 HRC if this region of the test ba

28、r is chosen as the exception).(A similar example, for 4140RH with distances from the quenched end in millimeters, would limit hardness at J1.5 mm to not less than 54 HRC nor more than 59 HRC. At J20 mm, the test bar must exhibit hardness not less than 42 HRC. At J30 mm, the test bar must exhibit har

29、dness not greater than 48 HRC.)
