High Tempering

Influences of normalizing and tempering temperature on mechanical properties and microstructure of steel casting were investigated in this paper. The results showed that as the normalizing temperature increased, tensile strength increased, while tensile stretch increased slowly at first and decreased at last. Steel casting got best comprehensive mechanical properties after a 970°C normalizing treatment. Normalized at 970°C and tempered at the rage of 500 °C and 550°C, steel casting got best comprehensive mechanical properties. The relation between mechanical properties and temperature was gotten using Matlab Software. The microstructure was ferrite and pearlite after normalizing, and tempered sorbite after high tempering.

Obvious Change

A high strength low alloy wear-resistant steel was quenched at 900°C and tempered at varying temperatures. The microstructures were observed utilizing optical and electron microscope. Results show that microstructures consist of predominantly martensite and lots of bainite in the as-quenched specimens. When the specimen was tempered at 250°C, no obvious change in the microstructure was observed. It has an optimized strength and elongation in this condition of heat treatment. With the increase of tempering temperature, the lath or plate of martensite were coalescenced. The strength of the steel is thus greatly reduced and the elongation was accordingly increased.

The Impact

In this paper, the effects of different tempering temperatures on a recently developed ultrahigh-strength steel with 0.4 wt.% carbon content were studied. The steel is designed to be used in press-hardening for different wear applications, which require high surface hardness (650 HV/58 HRC). Hot-rolled steel sheet from a hot strip mill was austenitized, water quenched and subjected to 2-h tempering at different temperatures ranging from 150 °C to 400 °C. Mechanical properties, microstructure, dislocation densities, and fracture surfaces of the steels were characterized. Tensile strength greater than 2200 MPa and hardness above 650 HV/58 HRC were measured for the as-quenched variant. Tempering decreased the tensile strength and hardness, but yield strength increased with low-temperature tempering (150 °C and 200 °C). Charpy-V impact toughness improved with low-temperature tempering, but tempered martensite embrittlement at 300 °C and 400 °C decreased the impact toughness at −40 °C. Dislocation densities as estimated using X-ray diffraction showed a linear decrease with increasing tempering temperature. Retained austenite was present in the water quenched and low-temperature tempered samples, but no retained austenite was found in samples subjected to tempering at 300 °C or higher. The substantial changes in the microstructure of the steels caused by the tempering are discussed.

The Impact

The microstructure and wear behavior of a 500 Brinell hardness (HB) grade wear-resistant steel tempered at different temperatures were investigated in this study. The tempering microstructures and wear surface morphologies were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The relationship between mechanical properties and wear resistance was analyzed. The microstructure of the steel mainly consisted of tempered martensite and ferrite. Tempered troosite was obtained when the tempering temperature was over 280 °C. The hardness decreased constantly with the increase of tempering temperature. The same hardness was obtained when tempered at 260 °C and 300 °C, due to the interaction of Fe3C carbides and dislocations. The impact toughness increased first and reached a peak value when tempered at 260 °C. As the tempering temperature was over 260 °C, carbide precipitation would occur along the grain boundaries, which led to temper embrittlement. The best wear resistance was obtained when tempered at 200 °C. At the initiation of the wear test, surface hardness was considered to be the dominant influencing factor on wear resistance. The effect of surface hardness improvement on wear resistance was far greater than the impact toughness. With the wear time extending, the crushed quartz sand particles and the cut-down burs would be new abrasive particles which would cause further wear. Otherwise, the increasing contact temperature would soften the matrix and the adhesive wear turned out to be the dominant wear mechanism, which would result in severe wear.

This paper mainly studied the high temperature quenching oil quenching, tempering temperature on the influence of high strength steel mechanical properties of wear resistant. The results show that high strength and toughness wear-resistant cast steel with 880°C× 30min after oil quenching, the hardness of 38.6HRC steel, the impact toughness value reaches 40.18J/cm2. After 200°C, 400°C and 600°C tempering, with the increase of the tempering temperature, the hardness decreased linearly, as by 600°C tempering, the hardness has been reduced to 22.3HRC. Impact toughness with the tempering temperature, the overall upward trend, the impact toughness of some reduced at 400°C, the highest impact toughness value reaches 113.34J/cm2. From the fracture morphology can be seen, with the increase of tempering temperature, ductile fracture increased, by 600°C tempering is dimple fracture, obviously can not see the traces of brittle fracture.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

The influence of tempering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low carbon low alloy steel was investigated. The results show that tempering temperature has considerable influence on both yield strength and tensile strength. With the increase in tempering temperature, the yield strength increases first and then decreases after it reaches the highest point at 600°C with a strength of 843MPa, while the tensile strength decreases fastly from 550°C to 650°C and keeps stable after increasing drastically at 720°C. The yield ratio is about 0.60 except at 600°C and 650°C with a high yield ratio of 0.90, while the total elongation has little change. It is concluded that the major change of mechanical properties after tempering has a connection with the decomposition of M/A(martensite/austenite) islands, the recovery of dislocations and the precipitation of alloy elements.

Tempering Process

T92 heat-resistant steel is among the most promising candidate materials for structural components in the Generation IV (GEN-IV) reactors. The effects of tempering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the T92 steel were studied. The microstructural evolution of the T92 steel subjected to various temperatures of the tempering process were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD). The mechanical properties of Vickers hardness, tensile test, and impact test were also investigated. The results showed that the grain size of the prior austenite does not significantly change during the tempering process, while the width of the martensite lath and the size of the carbide precipitates increased with increasing tempering temperature. The hardness and yield strength of the T92 steel decreased, and the plasticity and impact energy increased with increasing tempering temperature. Coarsening of the carbide precipitates during the tempering process was considered to be the dominant factor that reduced the yield strength in the T92 steel.
