The Effect of Undercooled Austenite Cooling Rate on the Wear Performance of Carbide-Free Bainitic Steel
摘要
At present, the application of ultra-thick super-bainitic steel has attracted wide attention. In this paper, the effect of undercooled austenite cooling rate on the microstructure and wear properties of bainitic steel was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction, and x-ray diffraction using medium carbon carbide-free bainitic steel as the research object. The results show that the samples with faster cooling rates have lower wear loss and better wear properties. A deformation zone exists in the subsurface, and the greater the cooling rate, the smaller the thickness of the deformation zone. A significant retained austenite transformation was observed in the deformed layer.
