Predictive analysis of wear rate in SUP9 spring steel under controlled heat treatment cooling rates

Abstract In the present work, SUP9 spring steel specimens were reheated to 1000 °C in a controlled muffle furnace to obtain a homogeneous austenitic structure. The specimens were then cooled at different rates (0.1, 5, 100, 375, and 650 °C) to generate varied microstructures. Inc...
