-5- IZOD TESTS For these tests two of the bars were tested without nitriding and two after fully machining and nitriding. Foot-pounds. Test Bar No. Brinell. With case. Without case. - 269 54 65.5 - 269 55 65.5 We have not made similar Izod tests with and without case on Nickel Case Hardening Steels, but we are preparing bars for this purpose. The following are the results of tests on NICKEL CASE HARDENING STEEL TO SPEC. 2073. Test Bar No. Ult.Str. Y.P. Elong. R.A. Stanton. Brinell. { 1 73.6 Indef. 16.0 58.1 7,800 293 ) { 2 74.7 " 18.0 59.3 9,288 293 ) { 3 76.6 " 18.5 56.6 9,931 311 ) { 4 77.0 " 17.5 56.4 11,126 311 ) These tests represent two different heat-treatments giving slightly differing core hardness figures. TESTS ON NICKEL CASE HARDENING STEEL TO SPECIFICATION 2072. The following figures were supplied by BY's Dept. They are average figures based on fifteen consecutive tests on camshafts made on the Works testing machines. Brinell. Stanton. 254 5,269 Fractures of the shafts quoted in Table II are available for examination if required. HE Hl. | ||
