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.

Cast Microstructure

Heat treatment process of 31Mn2SiREB cast steel used in crawler plates is directly quenching at 1050°C after casting. The reasonableness of the process needs to be surveyed. In this paper, the effect of quenching temperature on mechanical properties was studied, and the micro-area composition and micro-hardness at different quenching temperature were investigated. The results show that tensile strength and impact energy increase observably with the elevating of quenching temperature. With the increase of quenching temperature, the fluctuations of micro-hardness and chemical composition at different micro-areas become obviously small. This means that the relatively homogeneous structure and composition can be acquired in higher temperature. The as-cast microstructure is extremely uneven, so pre-treatment process of normalizing or diffusion annealing ought to be carried out before quenching treatment, and quenching temperature should not be too high.

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.

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.

The Impact

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.

For steel with combination of high strength (~2000MPa) and toughness, along with low cost, the designed structure should be low-temperature tempered, fine lath martensite with high density of dislocation, coated by film of austenite with considerable thickness and distributed with fine ε (η) or (and) complex carbide. Correspondently, the steel should contain less than 0.5 (wt%) of carbon, certain amount of alloying elements for lowering Ms, such as Ni, Mo and (or) Mn, carbide forming element, e.g. Nb, as well as Si or (and) Al, the element depressing the formation of cementite, the brittle phase in high strength steel. The heat treatment process is suggested as: austenitizing at a temperature slightly above Ac3, followed by quenching at Ms-Mf, partitioning either at quenching temperature or at slightly above Ms for a few minutes, cooling down to room temperature and tempering at low temperature about half an hour.

Impact Sample

Hadfield manganese steel is the steel with a composition of 1.0-1.4% C and 10-14% Mn, where the C: Mn ratio is made at 1:10. In as-cast conditions, the steel has a structure of carbide (Fe, Mn) 3C at the grain boundary, formed during slow cooling in the sand mold. The carbide existence can cause brittle properties of the material and needs to be eliminated by a heat treatment process that is homogenization (or solution treatment). In this study, a stepped heat treatment process was carried out by giving preheating at temperatures below the austenitizing temperature of 600 oC and 700 oC. The austenitizing temperature is given lower than the conventional method which usually uses 1050 oC, wherein this study austenitizing heating was given at 980 oC. Rapid quenching is performed using water with agitation or stirring to ensure that the cooling rate is fast enough to generate a 100% austenite structure. The results achieved that the sample with a stepped heat treatment process with a preheating temperature of 600 oC and followed by austenitizing of 980 oC could perform finer austenite grains, with the highest impact value of 255 Joules. A fracture of the impact sample resulting very ductile behavior which can be seen that the impact sample is not completely broken.

Structures And Properties

The as-cast structure of grate bar used in sintering trolley is primarily comprised of austenite and eutectic (eutectic austenite and eutectic carbide). The austenite is dendrite, while the carbide is reticular and chrysanthemum-like. The grate bars were quenched and tempered under various temperature (one set of samples: quenching (975~1050°C); the other: quenching (1000°C) + tempering (240~600°C)). With rise in quenching temperature, the content of martensite increases and gradually stabilizes, and the hardness increases and then decreases (the maximum is 61.5HRC). For the tempered simple, the strip-like carbides gradually become smaller, shorter and homogenized; the resistance to temper softening is high and the maximum hardness is 58HRC; the wear resistance gradually decreases and is lower than that of as-cast one when the temperature is higher than 480°C. The heat treatment process to improve the service properties of grate bars is: quenching (1000°C, 2.5h, and air-cooling) + tempering (300~420°C, 2.5h, and air-cooling).

A new wear resistance material named the hypoeutectic high carbon Fe-B cast steel with fine hard carbides dispersive distributed in the matrix have been investigated. The results show that the solidified structures of high carbon Fe-B steel consist of ferrite, pearlite and boride, and borides were distributed along grain boundary in interconnected network. After heat treatment, the metallic matrix changes into martensite and retained austenite. The eutectic borides are appeared to be less continuous network and isolated particles. The increasing of the quenching temperature leads to the improvement of hardness. Quenching at 980°C, impact toughness is increased with the increasing of the tempering temperature. The optimum heat treatment is quenching at 980°C(oil cooling) and tempering at 330°C(air cooling). The wear resistance of modified high carbon Fe-B cast steel is corresponding to Cr26 alloy. The impact wear mechanism is mainly plastic deformation and fatigue spalling.

This paper includes the study of heat treatment process that we carried out on En 19 steel in cryogenic atmosphere. Cryogenic treatments of alloy steels have been significantly increase wear resistance and toughness. These investigations of warmth treatment cryogenic medicines of amalgam steels have been asserted to altogether expand wear protection and sturdiness. Cryogenic handling is a supplementary procedure to customary warmth treatment process in steels. The cryogenic treatment on apparatus materials builds the life of instruments, gear, parts and materials by boosting elasticity, sturdiness and strength. This cryogenic hardening process is an onetime treatment influencing the whole part — not only the surface. Cryogenic treatment has been broadly embraced as a cost decrease and execution upgrading innovation. Cryogenic treatment is likewise utilized as an empowering innovation, when its pressure alleviating benefits are used to allow the manufacture (or machining) of basic resistance parts. With regards to great outcomes about the use of profound cryogenic treatment (DCT) on materials, the impact on the microstructure and properties (hardness, strength and the substance of held austenite) are observed to be made strides. Cryogenic treatment has been distinguished to improve the properties of Tools steels. It is discovered that cryogenic treatment confers almost 110% change in apparatus life.
