The flame effect on surface integrity was investigated in terms of hardness test and microstructural characterization. Substrates temperatures were raised to 355°C as well as 550°C while oxyacetylene flame travels at approximate of 74 mm/min along the span of the material. The experimental outcome revealed the microstructures from two examined conditions: Initial grain structures as well as grain structure when flame heated to 355°C has retained austenite crystal structure while flame heating to 5000-550°C revealed chromium carbide precipitates. Within the investigated temperature range of 500°-550°C, preheating was evidently proven to result to sensitization. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84891919402&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.465-466.1287&partnerID=40&md5=5ba9cf9d222a9a31add80a40988e31a7 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.465-466.1287 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 465-46 place_of_pub: Bangi-Putrajaya pagerange: 1287-1291 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783037859339 issn: 16609336 citation: Alkali, A.U. and Gintar, T.L. and Fawad, H. and Abdulrani, A.M.
