Abstract
Jominy test is a method for determining the hardenability of steel. The specimen is a cylindrical bar with a 100 mm length and 25 mm diameter. Firstly the specimen is heated in the furnace above austenite temperature. Specimen is placed to test apparatus. Specimen is cooled by splashing jet of water to end of the specimen. When the specimen is cooled room temperature, Rockwell C hardness measurements are calculated for every 2 mm and plot the curve. With using jominy test, the materials hardinability which is a measure of the capacity of the steel to harden in depth under a given set of conditions is compare.

Introduction
When engineers select materials, they consider lot of properties of material. Hardenabily is the property of material which is the more important for manufacturing and design. Hardenability is the ability of steel to partially or completely transform from austenite to some fraction of martensite at a given depth below the surface, when cooled under a given condition.Steels with high hardenability are needed for large high strength components, such as pistons for rock breakers, mine shaft supports, etc Alloy composition of steel alloy is influenced to ability of steel alloy to transform martensite with quenching treatment is related hardenability. Steel alloys have relationship between cooling rates and mechanical properties. Joming test is helped to determine relationship of them. The heating and cooling treatment of the steel specimens have a great effect on the phase of the microstructure of the steel specimen. The hardenability of a steel depends on the composition of the steel :.

Increasing the carbon content until 0.6wt% increases the hardness of steels. Also hardenability increase with alloy content

the austenitic grain size : also the austenitic grain size increasing increase the hardenability of steel. the structure of the steel before quenching :

Experiment procedure
The specimen is a steel cylindrical low carbon allow bar with a 100 mm length and 25 mm diameter. It is heated in furnace at 900 C0 which is the austenite temperature of carbon steels. Than the specimen is quickly put into quenching apparatus which is cooled the steel by

This curve is the iron cementit phase diagram. We can heat the steel austenite temperature (approximately 900 C0) for normalization to eliminate differences in microstructure.

Figure1 (austenite temperature) spraying a controlled flow of water onto one end of the specimen. Cooling rate is different of the variety of length. Bottom of the specimen is cooled rapidly than top of the specimen. Therefore bottom of the specimen is more hard than top of specimen. austenite is transformed to martenzite during cooling of bottom, and bainate is occurred in the middle of the specimen.

Decreasing of bottom to top of the specimen in the left side figure 2.

Figure 2 Remove the Jominy specimen from the quench apparatus and cooled room temperature. The cooling rate varies along the length of the sample from very rapid at the quenched end, to rates equivalent to air cooling at the other end. Than specimen is grind a flat on the side of the

specimen. Finally hardness measured as Rockwell C every 2 mm, and plot the distancehardness curve.

Data Analysis
Program in computer is given input measures of hardness for distance to draw the distance-hardness curve. Also the Rockwell hardness machine is used to measured hardness as Rockwell C. This measures are;
Uzaklk mm 1 2 5 8 12 17 22 25 30 35 40 Rockwell C 62 61 58 54 47 40 33 26 24 23 22

Hardenability ability of materials is compared by using hardenability curve. For example. 1. Compare the results (maximum hardness and the hardenability curves) with using data. 2. Compare the maximum hardnesses obtained for the alloys. 3. Compare the Jominy curves to the ideal diameters. 4. Discuss the results in terms of composition and the TTT curves.

Results

According to table steel transforms martensite at the 0 to 2 mm jominy distance. Being martensite is determined by steady line for the 0 to 2 mm jominy distance at the curve. Also between 2 and 5 mm jominy distance is form martenzite and bainate. between 5 and 26 mm jominy distance is form martenzite and bainate.

Discussion of result
This describes the ability of the steel to be hardened in depth by quenching. The alloy composition of the steel, the austenitic grain size and, the structure of the steel before quenching affect the ability of the steel to be hardened.

(curve 1) We can compare this two curve.

(curve 2)

- Compare the results (maximum hardness and the hardenability curves) with using data. Material of curve 2 have more hardness than curve 1 - Compare the hardenability. Materal of Curve 1 is have good hardenability than curve 2.
