Abstract
In order to improve the surface wear-resistance and overall shock-resistance of 65Mn steel, effects of rare earth (RE) particle size, adding amount and boronizing time subjected to quenching and medium-temperature tempering treatment were studied systematically. Optimizing basic component of low-temperature boronizing reagent and RE types, the depth of boronizing layer was selected as main evaluation parameter through the orthogonal test of RE-boronizing. Experimental results show that, cerium oxide with particle size of 20nm and content of 4% has the best effect of accelerating boronizing process on 65Mn steel at 700°C for 9 h, and the depth of boronizing layer with RE-boronizing is about 3.3 times than without adding RE; meanwhile, the heart of 65Mn steel still keeps good strength and toughness due to temper troostite microstructure. It can be concluded that the strengthening and toughening treatment of low-temperature RE-boronizing can obtain hard-surface and tough-core properties on 65Mn steel.
