Abstract
Nowadays, stainless steel is widely used in many field due to its excellent mechanical properties compare to other materials; therefore improvement on stainless steel needed to do from time to time. Factor of safety for products can be improve by designing high durability and reliability structures in order to ensure safety to its users. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of heat treatment on impact strength, hardness and microstructure characterization of heat treated stainless steel. The stainless steel will be heated in the heat treated conditions, using different quenching media. The alloy will be treated with solution at temperature of 900ºC for different soaking time. Next, it will be quenched using different media such as distilled water and mixed lubricant. Aging process will be conducted at temperature of 700ºC which is suitable elevated temperature for aging process. Impact strength and hardness value will be obtained using Charpy impact test and Rockwell hardness tester respectively. Lastly, microstructure of the material will be observed using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) to determine its microstructure.
