Page 11.739.6The 1020 alloy does not harden or demonstrate good hardenability due to the low carbon content.Both the 4140 and 4340 develop greater surface hardness than the 1020 alloy due to the highercarbon content. The 4340 alloy which has a higher chrome content demonstrates a much betterthrough thickness hardenability than does the 4140 alloy.

Automotive Lighting SystemsThis paper is a summary and demonstration of an innovative senior design project. Theprimary impetus for this project was to reduce the Cu content in recycled steel fromautomobiles. Although recycling steel from automobiles is a large business and growingglobally, there is little incentive to separate out the copper wiring before recycling theautomotive chassis. The slow but inevitable increase in copper content with eachgeneration of recycled steel can lead to too much variability in the mechanical andwelding properties of the steel.The project team decided to focus on redesigning the electrical power distribution systemto allow for easy retrieval of the copper.

The most widely utilized memory metal is nitinol and is a“nearly equal mixture of nickel and titanium.”1When made into wires, memory metals can be stretched by as much as eight percentwhen below their transition temperature, and when heated, they will recover theiroriginal, shorter length. This is referred to as the materials “deformation-to-recoveryratio”. During the temperature dependent bysteresis, a usable amount of mechanicalforce is developed.Memory metals are fascinating alloys that are included in a relatively new branch ofmaterial science that is comprised of substances that respond to the application of anexternal force with a
