Influence of Tempering Temperature on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of 35CrMnSiMo Cast Steel

The tempering temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of 35CrMnSiMo cast steel are studies in this article. Results showed that 880°C×30min 35CrMnSiMo cast steel after quenching water, hardness up to 49.6HRC, reached 39.04 J/cm2 toughness. Tempering temperature selected 200°C, 400°C and 600°C, respectively with the increase of the tempering temperature plummeting hardness and impact toughness are on the rise, but at 400°Cdecreased. Photos can be seen from your organization after quenching, which contains a lot of lath martensite, a small amount of lump some residual austenite and martensite, 200°C tempering martensite has been reduced, some of carbide precipitation into tempered martensite. Tempering of martensite quenching slats or flake, it is made of flake martensite and small ξ carbide distribution.
