Influence of Heat Treatment on Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Mining Machinery Steel Plate Containing Molybdenum and Niobium
Influence of different heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of mining machinery steel Plate containing molybdenum niobium was investigated. As-rolled steel plate was processed by normalizing and normalization-tempering respectively. Mechanical properties of as-rolled steel plate, normalizing steel plate and normalizing-tempering steel plate and their microstructures was made a contrast. The experiment result showed that formation of coarse ferrite grain in as-rolled state leads to lower impact toughness. Normalizing treatment can refine coarse ferrite formed in hot rolling process but formation of carbon oversaturation induced new dislocation and distortion. Processing of proper normalizing-tempering can eliminate coarse ferrite in as-rolled state and relieve new dislocation and distortion formed in normalizing process, and therefore made the mechanical properties of the as-rolled plate be the best state.
