Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of 40CrNiMo7 Steel after High Current Pulsed Electron Beam Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

High current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) treatment was conducted on 40CrNiMo7 steel. The surface microstructure was characterized by metalloscopy and X-ray diffraction methods. The microhardness and wear resistance of modified surface were measured. After the HCPEB treatment, the surface crater structure was observed due to the inhomogeneity of initial material. A modified layer of depth ~ 7 μm was formed with a hybrid microstructure composed mainly of martensite and a small quantity of austenite. The surface microhardness of HCPEB modified sample was increased drastically to more than 1000 HK. The wear resistance increased by about 36% as compared to the initial state.
