Observation of Retained Austenite Amount of Repeatedly Induction Heated SUJ2 Bearing Steels

Article Preview

Abstract:

Martensitic high-carbon, high-strength bearing steel is used for rolling contact applications when high wear and fatigue resistance are required. Due to its high fatigue strength, SUJ2 is not used for only bearings but for shafts. The objective of this work is a clarification of the relationship between quenching times and retained austenite amount of SUJ2 steel. It was found that repeatedly induction heating increased the retained austenite amount, but did not change the Vickers hardness.
