Network carbide inheritance during heat treatment process of large shield machine bearing steel GCr15SiMn was investigated by heat treatment experiments and quantitative metallographic. Samples with the proeutectoid cementite network thickness in the range of 0.19~0.54 μm were obtained by changing austenitizing temperature and soaking time of pearlite transformation. The results show that the network in hot rolled bar can be improved when the pre-heat treatment temperature is 950 °C. When the network thickness is above 0.40 μm, the undissolved cementite networks present in microstructures after quenching and tempering. In a Chinese standard, the network grades are 1.5 and 3.0 degree when the networks thickness are 0.40 μm and 0.54 μm, respectively. The critical network thickness that can be eliminated by heat treatment is 0.29 μm.

The effect of vanadium on the bainite transformation of medium carbon high silicon steel during air cooling was studied by using Optical Microscopy (OM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The mechanical properties of the test steels subjected to heat treatment were measured by tensile, hardness and impact tests. The results showed that, through the same heat treatment process, the microstructure of the V-alloyed steel was comprised of Carbide-Free Bainite (CFB, bainite + retained austenite) and martensite while the microstructure of the V-free steel was composed of ferrite/pearlite, which made the V-alloyed steels exhibit superior combination of strength, hardness and toughness to the V-free steel, but the elongation of the V-alloyed steel was worse than that of the V-free steel somewhat. Vanadium was helpful for the transformation of bainite in the tested medium carbon high silicon steel under air cooling condition. The carbon-enriched retained austenite films in the CFB enhanced the toughness of the V-alloyed steel.

This study is conducted to analyze the effect on the Hardness and Micro Structural Behaviour of three Sample Grades of Tool Steel i.e. EN-31, EN-8, and D3 after Heat Treatment Processes Such As Annealing, Normalizing, and Hardening and Tempering. The purpose of Selecting Tool Steel is Because Tool Steel is Mostly Used in the Manufacturing Industry.This study is based upon the empirical study which means it is derived from experiment and observation rather than theory.
