Abstract
By using propagation characteristics of ultrasonic surface wave, the depth of the surface hardened layer of SCM440 steel with different high frequency induction heat treatments was measured and the same was done on the carburized SCM415 steel. The propagation velocity of surface wave was constant and independent of frequency in t.he specimens with identical microstructure, it was, however, decreased by 59m/s in the hardened layers compared to the unhardened part. From t.he relationship between the effective case depth and the wave length of surface wave, the depth of the hardened layer could be measured and evaluated nondestructively for both induction hardened and carburized steels.
초음파의 표면파의 전파특성을 이용하여 SCM440강의 고주파열처리의 정도에 따른 표면경화층의 깊이를 측정, 조사하였으며 침탄속도는 동일조직에서는 주파수에 관계없이 일정하였으나, 경화조직에서 경화되지 않은 조직에 비하여 표면파의 속도는 59m/s 늦었다. 강의 유효경화층깊이(d)와 표면파파장($\lambda_{R}$)의 d/$\lambda_{R}$의 관계로부터 경화층의 \ulcorner이를 비파괴적으로 평가, 측정할 수 있었으며 침탄경화시킨 경우에서도 동일한 결과를 얻었다.
