Abstract
By means of microstructure observation, phase analysis, and mechanical‐property tests, the effect of martensite–bainite (M–B) duplex microstructure on carbide precipitation and mechanical properties of M50 steel is studied. In that results, it is shown that the distribution of secondary carbides in specimens with M–B duplex microstructure is more uniform and finer, and the stability of retained austenite (RA) in the steel is also improved, so that the content of RA in specimens with M–B duplex microstructure is 2.34%, which is higher than the 0.94% of the specimens with full martensite microstructure. The M–B duplex microstructure leads to the reduction of tempering hardness of M50 steel to 60.9 unit of Rockwell hardness (HRC), compared to the 61.6 HRC of the specimens with full martensite microstructure, but the wear resistance is slightly enhanced. Moreover, the M–B duplex microstructure effectively improves the impact toughness and fatigue properties by refining the microstructure and carbides in the steel, and the increase amplitude is 47.4% and 41.0%, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
