Inductive Experimental Study of Corrosion Products of Medium Carbon Steel CK45 Hardened by Magnetized Water

الملخص EN

This paper concerns the inductive experimental study of corrosion products of the medium carbon steel CK45DIN using magnetized water as hardening media, where the water has been exposed to a magnetic field of 1000 Gauss and 2000 Gauss, respectively, for time durations of 1 to 5 hours, with a volumetric flow rate of 4 gal/min.

Medium carbon steel CK45DIN samples were exposed to air as corrosive environment for reasonable time interval, and the corrosion product was weighed in order to determine the loss of weight.

The results showed that the corrosion rate of all samples decreased as the experiment progresses over time.

Corrosion resistance of the medium carbon steel CK45DIN increased when we raised its temperature to 870°C for 40 minutes and hardened by magnetized water applied in a magnetic field with a strength of 1000 Gauss for 3 hours as compared with the sample hardened by normal water.
