The effects of oil-quenching and over-tempering heat treatments on the dry sliding wear behaviours of 25CrMo4 steel

Researchers tested how different heat treatments affect the wear resistance of 25CrMo4 steel used in automotive parts, finding that oil-quenching and over-tempering significantly reduced material wear loss compared to untreated steel, even when hardness slightly decreased — important for extending the life of industrial components.

Influence of the Loading Frequency on Very High Cycle Fatigue Behavior of Structural Steels

This study examined how loading frequency affects very high cycle fatigue behavior in two structural steels, finding that microplasticity strain amplitude decreased by an order of magnitude at ultrasonic frequencies, with cyclic strain rate being the key factor explaining frequency effects.
