Abstract

This paper presents the technique with which Low frequency thermal cycling tests were carried out on two carbon steel. The steels used are low and medium carbon steel, the compositional analysis was done to ascertain the percentage of carbon the as-received materials contain, and the micrograph of the samples was done using acuscope photomicrograph with a magnification of X400. The heating of the samples was done in a carbon muffle furnace and the test was done at predetermined ranges of thermal cycling temperatures. The specimen were machined to a precise gage length and diameter and the test was performed with the use of Avery Dennison (Avery model 7305) which has a curve with which the relationship between the dial gage reading and the imposed torque was established. The results obtained from the machine were the readings for maximum bending moment and cycles to failure, which were converted to get the applied bending stress. On the final analysis medium carbon steel prove to be a suitable material for design of machine that could undergo thermal cycling in service condition beyond 230°C.
