Influence of Pretreatment Process on Microstructure and Properties of 65Mn Steel after Subcritical Quenching

Abstract:

Quenching and normalizing is selected as the pretreatment process. Microstructure and mechanical properties of subcritical quenched 65Mn steel are investigated when different pretreatment is used. The experimental results show that the content and grain size of the martensite in the 65Mn steel after subcritical quenched are related with pretreatment process. The mechanical properties are determined by the pretreatment process. 65Mn steel exhibits very fine martensite structure when pretreatment process is quenching. The tensile strength and hardness is 65 Mn steel with the pretreatment process of quenching are higher than that of normalizing. The mechanical properties of 65Mn steel can be improved by austenite inverse transformation subcritical quenching. Classifying number in China: TG156
