The heat treatment process of 31Mn2SiREB cast steel used in crawler shoes is directly lifted from the heat treatment process of Mn13 high-manganese cast steel, i. e., quenching at 1050 oC after casting. The reasonableness of the process needs to be surveyed. In this paper, the effects of quenching temperature and diffusion annealing pre-treatment on mechanical properties, micro-area composition uniformity and micro-hardness uniformity were investigated. For quenching after casting, the tensile strength and impact energy increase observably with the elevation of quenching temperature, but the impact energy at higher quenching temperature is still very small. The fluctuation of micro-hardness and chemical composition at different micro-areas becomes obviously small with the increase of quenching temperature. For quenching after a diffusion annealing pre-treatment, the impact energy is very high and up to 36.3 J.

Abstract The 25Cr2MoVA steel was subjected to various heat treatments. We found that the hardness increased when the quenching temperature was in the range of 870 – 910 °C, and then it decreased for the temperature of 910 – 990 °C. The maximum hardness was 553 HV after quenching from 910 °C. Following quenching from 910°C, the 25Cr2Mo-VA steel was tempered in the temperature range of 560 to 750 °C. With an increase in the tempering temperature, the hardness and tensile strength of the material decreased, while the impact toughness increased; the corrosion resistance increased initially and then decreased. The best heat treatment process for the 25Cr2MoVA steel involved quenching form 910 °C and tempering at 650°C for 1 h, the hardness was 362 HV, the tensile strength reached 1 310 MPa, the impact energy reached 149 J, and the material exhibited the best corrosion resistance.

Metal matrix composite has been developed to improve mechanical properties for the automotive component application. One crucial factor in achieving excellent mechanical properties is improving the properties of the aluminum matrix of composite by the heat treatment process. The mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Si matrix composites alloyed with Zn and reinforced with 5% SiC and 5%Gr particle were examined after the heat treatment process. The aluminum matrix is melted inside the crucible furnace at 850 °C and is added with SiC/Gr particle, followed by stirring at 7500 rpm to optimize the mixing of the composite. Then, the composite is poured into the preheated mold at 300 °C and then squeezed with 30 MPa of pressure. The heat treatment process consists of three steps; solution treatment, quenching, and artificial aging. The aging process is conducted with variation of temperature (140 °C, 180 °C and 200 °C) and holding time (2, 4, and 6 hours). The test results show that the mechanical properties of aluminum matrix composite tend to increase after the heat treatment process. The optimum mechanical properties are achieved at the aging temperature of 200 °C for 6 hours, with the hardness value of 60.3 HRA and the impact value of 0.112 Joule/mm2.

The influences of Mn and heat-treatment technology on microstructure and mechanical properties of medium-carbon-low-alloy wear-resistant cast steel were investigated. The results show that the hardness first increases and then drops down with the increase of Mn content, and the best hardness is 54HRC with Mn content 1.5%. The impact toughness first increases and then drops down with the increase of Mn content. The hardness and impact toughness first increase and then drop down with the increases of quenching temperature. The optimal impact toughness can be obtaind by quenching at 920°C and tempering at 200°C. Part of lower bainite and residual austenite and mass of tempered martensite are obtaind after tempering.

Herein, the effects of height-diameter ratios (H/D) on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of 0.4C-Si-Mn-Cr steel during high temperature deformation are reported. The compression experiments were performed on steel samples using Gleeble to obtain a reasonable deformation temperature, and the degree of deformation was assessed in the range of 1.5 to 2.0 H/D via forging. The forged specimens were quenched using the same heat treatment process. The hardness and impact toughness of the steel samples were tested before and after heat treatment. Grain sizes gradually increased with an increase in the compression temperature from 950 °C to 1150 °C, and the grain sizes decreased with an increase in H/D. The microstructure of the steel samples contained pearlite, bainite, martensite, and retained austenite phase. The microstructure after forging was more uniform and finer as compared to that of as-cast steel samples. The hardness and impact toughness of the steel samples were evaluated after forging; hardness first increased and then decreased with an increase in H/D, while the impact toughness continuously increased with an increase in H/D. Hence, the microstructure and properties of steel could be improved via high temperature deformation, and this was primarily related to grain refinement.

This paper describes the influence of heat treatment process on the microstructure and properties of a new martensitic stainless steel, which contains 0.7% carbon, 17% chromium and 1% molybdenum and can be used as kitchen knives and scissors. The microstructure and properties of the tested alloys after quenching at 980 - 1100 °C and low tempering were investigated by means of optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Rockwell hardness tester and impact tester. The results show that the microstructure consists of acicular martensite, carbides and a litter retained austenite after quenching and tempering. The carbides are mainly (Fe,Cr)23C6. The content of retained austenite increases with the increase of the quenching temperature. The solubility of carbon in martensite changes similarly. The martensite gets coarser as the quenching temperature increasing. The maximum value of hardness is 59 HRC, when the quenching temperature is 1060 °C. The impact toughness increases when the quenching temperature increases from 980 °C to 1080 °C and then decreases. The suitable heat treatment process for this alloy is quenching at 1060 °C~1080 °C for 30 min and then tempering at 200°C.

Shooting nails are mainly applied to fix thin reinforced concrete and steel plate, so the nails should have high hardness and high toughness. Unreasonable heat treatment process could possibly cause too high hardness and decreased toughness, leading to nail cracking and fracture in the course of production and use. Research on heat treatment process through experimental study on the nail determines the reasonable heat treatment process of nail. The feasible quenching heating temperature was 847~840 °C, and the temperature of salt bath during isothermal cooling was 292 °C. Its resultant hardness was 680HV, meeting the requirements of the use of nails. The shoot nail cracking and fracture in the course of use can be avoided effectively. The microstructure of shooting nails after heat treatment showed lower bainite, which contributed to good mechanical properties.

In this work, the effects of final heat treatment including quenching and tempering process on mechanical properties of 10Cr12Ni3Mo2VN steel were investigated by orthogonal experimental. It is shown that, the quenching process had a small effect on the strength properties. But the impact property obviously decreased with the increase of quenching temperature, that is due to the grain coarsening. It can be found that tempering temperature is the major factor which affects the mechanical properties. Tempering process had a large effect on the precipitation of carbides and that affected the strength, toughness and plastic greatly. The impact toughness had a minimum after tempered at 650°C between 600°C~700°C. The experimental results show that the M23C6 type carbides precipitated at the grain and martensite lath boundary were the main reason which decreased the impact toughness when tempering temperature increased from 600°C to 650°C.

The effect of intercritical annealing of 10GN2MFA grade steel on mechanical properties and impact notch toughness is studied in this paper. This type of low alloy banitic steel is used for production of collector bodies of steam generators for nuclear power station of VVER type. This article is focused on optimalization of fundamental utility properties and heat treatment process of the steel under investigation to increase toughness and critical temperature of brittleness. An intecritical annealing has been chosen as a useful tool for such improvement. Mechanical properties and impact notch toughness values after the intercritical annealing and conventional heat treatment regimes are compared. Effect of simulation of stress relieving including minimum and maximum allowable heating regimes are studied too. Intercritical annealing was added to the conventional quality heat treatment process, between quenching (normalizing) and tempering. The application of intercritical annealing improved the impact toughness significantly, an increase in the upper shelf energy and a decrease in transition temperature of steel under investigation.
