Abstract

The study on the phase transformation law of High-Carbon Matrix steel 4Cr-3Mo-3V-2W-Ni-Nb, which is processed in different heat treatment, is conducted by means of metallographic observation, hardness determination and phase analysis conducted with the help of X-ray diffraction. The results indicate what is as follow: through quenching at 970°C, the main precipitations of alloy carbide are V4WC5, Cr7C3 and Fe3W3C at 200~300°C, V4WC5 and Cr7C3 at 400°C, V4WC5 and Cr7C3 at 500°C, V4WC5, Cr7C3 and Mn23C6 at 600°C. The transformation of residual austenite is thorough completed above 400 °C and the cause of secondary hardening is the precipitation of V4WC5 and V4C2.67.
