CRYOGENIC TREATMENT ON AUTOMOB ILE DISC BRAKE PLATE

To study the changes in Mechanical properties of 410 SS grade steel and the effect of change in Wear resistance with different constituents after cryogenic treatment. A Cryo - treatment test system is used for the process. Stainless Steel specimens which are used as Disc Brake Plates are Cryo - treated at 93K for 8 Hours and 24 Hours in the test unit. The Results are compared on the basis of Hardness, Wear and Co - efficient of Friction before and after the Cryo - treatment. The effects of Cryo - treatment followed on mechanical properties (Hardness, Wear and Co - efficient of Friction) are experimentally determ ined and analyzed.
