Influence of Heat Treatment Conditions on Properties of High-Speed P/M Steel Vanadis 30

Abstract:

The high-speed P/M steel Vanadis 30 was austenitized at 1100 °C, quenched and tempered at various combinations of processing parameters. For one set of specimens, also sub-zero period, made at -196 °C/4 hours between quenching and tempering. The microstructure and mechanical properties have been investigated as a function of austenitizing time, parameters of sub-zero processing and tempering. There were used metallographic analysis, hardness measurement and three point bending test for the evaluation effect of heat treatment conditions to observed materials.
