Observations on the Aus-Quenching of Gun Steel and Related Properties

Abstract

A reforged tube section was aus-quenched and tempered. Tensile and Charpy V-notch properties were determined at three locations in the forging, as well as the parent tube. No significant differences were observed in the strength, ductility, or toughness of the aus-quenched forging as compared to the conventionally heat-treated parent tube. It was further determined that a tempered martensitic microstructure was obtained in all sections for both methods of heat treatment.
