Effect of Austenitizing Processes on Isothermal Quenching Microstructure in Bearing Steel
Abstract:
Austempering was applied to bearing steel to improve the performance. The effect of austenitizing temperature and time on isothermal quenching microstructure in bearing steel was investigated via microstructure observation and fracture analysis. The results show that with the increase of austenitizing temperature, the size of bainite plate and residual austenite content increase. Austenitizing at lower temperature, the samples has a fracture composite fracture morphology of polygon cleavage unit and even small dimple.The fracture morphology of sample austenitized at 1050 °C is quasi-cleavage fracture with bar cleavage unit which is corresponding to the coarse acicular microstructure. the size of bainite plate increase with increasing the austenitizing time. As the result of comprehensive effect of fine grain strengthening and dispersion strengthening, that the microhardness firstly increases, and then obviously decreases with the increase of austenitizing time.
