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.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of austempering compared to quenching and low-temperature tempering on wear resistance of an as-cast medium carbon high-silicon steel intended for rock breaking. Austempering was done by isothermal holding at 270, 300 and 350 °C in molten salt baths, while quenching was done in water. The austempering treatments resulted in microstructural combinations of bainite and martensite. The isothermal holding at 270 °C resulted in bainite and self-tempered martensite, while isothermal holdings at 300 and 350 °C resulted in bainite and untempered martensite. The two quench and temper treatments resulted in tempered martensite. In general austempering resulted in lower hardness values when compared to quenching and tempering but higher impact toughness. The wear resistance was best for quenching and low temperature tempering, followed by austempering at 270 °C, but at slightly lower hardness and 25% higher impact toughness. The other two austempering treatments resulted in worse wear resistance.
