Study on Bainitic Microstructure under Low Austempering Temperature and its Wear Resistance of Low-Alloy High-Carbon Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new low-alloy high-carbon steel was designed to obtain the carbide-free bainite under low-temperature austempering. The microstructure, wear resistance under dry sliding friction and the wear mechanism were comparatively studied between samples austempered and low-temperature tempered. Results show that the carbide-free bainitic microstructure composed of bainitic ferrite laths with mean thickness of 120 nm and retained austenite films can be achieved by austempering at 220 °C for 120 h in salt bath after austenitizing at 1000 °C. The wear resistance under dry sliding friction of austempered sample is 19% more than that of low-temperature tempered sample. The wear mechanism of the low-temperature austempered sample is determined as the adhesive wear.
