Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011092438A1] The invention relates to a method for efficient, industrialisable detection of machining burns of VHS steel. For said purpose, the machined steel is immersed in an aqueous solution of acids including hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid. In order to define a burn degree, a colour chart for calibrating machining burns of VHS steel detected using the above method is prepared. Said colour chart can consist of studs (P1 to P10) of the examined steel subjected to deliberate damage by excessive resurfacing actions (or other machining modes), then submerged in the acid solution defined above. The resurfacing actions can be simulated by overheated thermal treatment, between the ageing temperature Tv (for example 510ºC for steel) and the solution annealing temperature Ts (950ºC for said steel). The samples are classified according to the grey level thereof resulting from the immersion and corresponding to a predetermined hardness and thus to a predetermined level of damage.
