Abstract:

Microstructure and mechanical properties of 60Si2Mn steel by 870 °C prequenched and second sub-temperature quenching was studied. The results showed that the hardness of the 60Si2Mn steel first increased and then decreased with increasing second sub-temperature quenching temperature, and the highest hardness was obtained when sub-temperature quenching temperature was 800 °C.The sample after second sub-temperature quenching was composed of martensite and a little ferrite phase. The abundance of ferrite phase decreased with the increase in second sub-temperature quenching temperature. Fine martensite was obtained by second sub-temperature quenching, which may be relate to the grain refinement of austenitic phase and austenitic nucleation sites. The mechanical properties of the 60Si2Mn steel after 870 °C prequenching and second sub-temperature quenching are better than that of conventional samples after 870 °C quenching.
