Microstructural transformations and mechanical properties of a low carbon martensite stainless bearing steel treated with different heat treatment parameters and cryogenic treatment (-82°C) were investigated. The function of microstructural transformations on strengthening and toughening process was quantitatively characterized as well. These analyses were performed by the optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD) technique. The obtained results show that with execution of cryogenic treatment and tempering, the tensile strength increase owing to the reduction of retained austenite and fine carbides precipitating respectively. The effect of martensitic microstructure on yield strength increment can be regarded as packet size and block width which conform to Hall-Petch relationship. Meanwhile, the results suggest that the block width is the key structural controlling unit when analyzing the strength-structure relationship of lath martensite in low carbon martensite stainless bearing steel. In addition, packet size can be related to toughness controlling as well because of the same size as cleavage plane.

Wear Evaluation

In this research work, two types of cryogenic treatment such as deep cryogenic treatment (-196oC) and shallow cryogenic treatment (-80oC) have been adopted for wear resistance to increase in AISI 440C bearing steel. This paper has been focused to increase Wear Resistance (WR) through deep micro structural analyses, and also attention has been made to correlate the microstructure with the wear character of Deep Cryogenic treated (DCT) specimens, Conventional Heat Treated (CHT) specimens and Shallow Cryogenic Treated (SCT) specimens. Micro structural examinations have been carried out in the specimens through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-ray (EDAX) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Wear characteristics of AISI 440C bearing steel has been studied. The outcome of the research disclosed that the DCT specimens have higher wear resistance than SCT and CHT specimens. The effective wear mechanisms recognized were the constitution of white layers and delamination of white layers. The microstructures of the materials have been varied through heat treatment process. The modification of Secondary Carbides (SCs) precipitation characteristics and its reduction of retained austenite in the microstructure have been correlated with wear character and these are the liable mechanism to raise the wear resistance of bearing steels through DCT.

The Impact

The low-carbon Cr-Ni-Mo carburizing bearing steel was tested with different heat treatment processes. Quenching-tempering temperature and cryogenic treatment (-73°C) wasstudied respectively onthe mechanical properties and microstructure.Results show thatthe increase of quenching temperature causes the micron-sized Cr-rich carbide re-dissolution and smaller quantity of retained austenite, makingthe strength and hardness of the tested steel increase and the impact toughness decrease. The tempering temperaturerising causesthe reduction of micro-residual stresses and smallerdegree of lattice distortion andlower dislocation density, resulting in the decrease of strength and the increase of impact toughness. Cryogenic treatment contributes to the refinement of martensite lath and precipitation of nanosized carbide and lowest quantity of retained austenite, improving the strength and impact toughness of the steel.The good comprehensive mechanical propertieswith the hardness of HRC41.3, tensile strength of 1413MPa,yield strength of 1168MPa, and impact toughness of 162J/cm2 can be obtainedby optimizing the heat treatment process parameters.
