Abstract:
In this article, the effect of heat treatment in different quenching temperature on microstructure and hardness of Fe-Cr-B alloy was studied, by contrast with boron-free Fe-Cr alloy. The results indicated that microstructure of boron-free Fe-Cr alloy consisted of the martensite and a few (Cr, Fe)7C3 type carbide. The microstructures had no obvious change with the increase of quenching temperature, but its hardness increased from 51.5 HRC to 60.8 HRC. When boron element was added into the Fe-Cr alloy, the netlike eutectic structure began to break and spheroidizing after quenching, in which the borocarbide turned into spherical groups and network Fe2B phase was broken. Moreover, the portion of martensite increased, and the amount of secondary carbide decreased, and the size of secondary carbide began to largen after quenching. When the quenching temperature reached 1100 degrees C, secondary carbide particles dissolved in the matrix wholly. The hardness of Fe-Cr-B alloy increased with the increase of quenching temperature below 1050 degrees C. The hardness of sample containing 2.0% B and quenching at 1050 degrees C reached 66.7 HRC. The hardness of Fe-Cr-B alloy had no obvious change when quenching temperature continued to increase. After tempered at 200 degrees C, the microstructure of Fe-Cr-B alloy had no significant change and its hardness had slight decrease. The hardness of sample containing 2.0% B tempered at 200 degrees C reached 63.9 HRC.
