Effects of Different Heat Treatments on Transformation of Residual Austenite in Bearing Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of heat treatment on transformation of residual austenite in bearing steel is studied, by adding the cryogenic treatment into the normal heat treatment process. The results indicate that the residual austenite content is decreased and the hardness is improved obviously, when putting the cryogenic treatment at -70°C or lower directly behind the quenching process. While when the tempering is added between quench and cryogenic treatment, the temperature of cryogenic treatment must be much lower than -70°C to offset the thermal stability of residual austenite, which is given by tempering.
