Abstract
A new-type of high Cr ferrite cast steel was designed and investigated. Effects of annealing temperature and time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the high Cr ferrite cast steel were studied. The results show that the microstructures of the as-cast and annealing steels are composed of ferrite and (Cr•Fe)23C6 carbide. The morphology of carbides is from long rod and the continuous network to crystal precipitation for the steels with increasing of annealing temperature and time. The impact toughness is slightly increased from 6 J/cm2 to 8 J/cm2 when the annealing temperature increases from 1180 ℃ to 1200 ℃. But the hardness is about HB 200 and no obvious differences between the as-cast and annealing steels. The most suitable annealing temperature and time are 1200 ℃ and 5 h, respectively. The wear resistance of the high Cr ferrite cast steel is increased and improved with annealing temperature and holding time at 260 ℃. The wear mechanism is changed from abrasion wear to abrasive and adhesive wear. The good wear-resistant of the high Cr ferrite cast steel is mainly attributed to the fine uniformly dispersed carbides.
