Study on Continuous Cooling Transformation and Microstructure of 500 Mpa Grade Steel for Railway Freight Car Body

Abstract:

Complete the composition design and laboratory smelting of high strength weathering steel for railway freight car body of grade 500MPa. The actual continuous cooling transformation curve (CCT curve and cold speed of 0.5-50 °C/s) was measured through the Gleeble3500 thermal simulation test machine with expansion method and alloy phase method, observing the microstructures by optical microscope and SEM. The hardness of the samples under different cooling rates were measured by Vivtorinox hardness tester. Study on the effect of cooling rates on the microstructures and hardness of the steels.
