Description
Summary:Experimental work and finite element techniques were used to analyze the tensile and buckling characteristics of carburized low carbon steel columns for different diameters.The back of carburization consists of hardwood charcoal mixed with barium carbonate as the energizer. The specimens were carburized using (30%) of energizers at temperature equal to (900ºC) for 5 five hours.The modulus of elasticity as measured experimentally was used in FEM (ANSYS) to calculate the buckling load. The results of the study showed that the Vickers micro hardness increased from (HV=210) to (HV=525), the tensile strength increased from (708 MPa) to (1065 MPa) and critical buckling load increased from (18.37 kN) to (19.6 kN) for d=8mm. Also critical buckling load increased from (5.8 kN) to (19.2 kN) as the diameter of the carburized low carbon steel column increased from 6mm to 8mm respectively for FEA analysis.
