metallurgy. 对冶金学加以广泛研究已使人们对热处 理加深了理解。 Metallurgy is the physics,chemistry and engineering related to metals from one extraction to the final product. 冶金学是物理、化学及与从采矿冶炼到 最终产品的金属相关的工程学 。 According to the procedure used,steel can be hardened to resist cutting action and abrasion,or it can be softened to permit machining. 根据工艺规程，可使钢硬化以抵抗切削作用和 耐磨损，或使之变软，以便于切削加工。 With the proper heat treatment internal stresses may be removed, grain size reduced, toughness increased, or a hard surfaced produced on a ductile interior. 采用合适的热处理，可以消除零件的内应力， 细化晶粒，增加韧性，或使材料表面坚硬而内 部产生塑性。 The key transition described in this diagram is the decomposition of single phase austenite to the twophase ferrite plus carbide structure as temperature drops. 此图中描述的主要转变是当温度下降时， 单相奥氏体分解为两相铁素体加碳化物结 构。 Control of this reaction, which arises due to the drastically different carbon solubilities of austenite and ferrite, enables a wide range of properties to be achieved through heat treatment. 由于碳在奥氏体和铁素体中的溶解度差异 很大而产生这种转变，控制这种转变，通过 热处理，就可能获得较大范围的性能。 Speciments prepared by polishing and etching in a weak solution of nitric acid and alcohol reveal the lamellar structure of alternating plates that forms on slow cooling. 准备试样的方法是先将试样抛光, 然后用 稀硝酸和酒精溶液浸蚀,使之显示出交变板 层状结构,这是在缓慢冷却过程中形成的. weak solution of nitric acid and alcohol 稀硝酸和酒精溶液 the lamellar structure of alternating plates 交变板层状结构 Hypereutectoid steels are steels that contain greater than the eutectoid amount of carbon. 过共析钢是含有高于共析钢含碳量的钢。 proeutectoid n. 先共析体 eutectoid a.共析的 n.共析体 hypoeutectoid steel 亚共析钢 hypereutectoid steel 过共析钢 As before, any remaining austenite transforms to pearlite upon slow cooling through this temperature. 如上所述，在此温度任何残留的奥氏体都会通 过缓慢冷却转变成为珠光体。 It should be remembered that the transitions that have been described by the phase diagrams are for equilibrium conditions, which can be approximated by slow cooling. 应当记住状态图所描述的这种转变是处于平衡状 态的，通过缓慢冷却才能接近这个状态。 However, when alloys are cooling rapidly, entirely different results may be obtained, because sufficient time is not provided for the normal phase reactions to occur. 然而，当合金快速冷却时，由于不再对正常相变 提供充足的时间，就可能得到完全不同的结果。 phase reactions 相变 Hardening 淬火 Hardening is the process of heating a piece of steel to a temperature within or above its critical range and then cooling it rapidly. 淬火是将钢加热到临界温度范围之内或以上的 某一温度，然后快速冷却的工艺过程。 If the carbon content of the steels known, the proper temperature to which the steel should be heated may be obtained by reference to the iron-iron carbide phase diagram. 如果已知钢的含碳量，钢应当加热的合适温度 就可通过参考铁-铁碳合金状态图查到。 However, if the composition of the steel is unknown, a little preliminary experimentation may be necessary to determine the range. 然而，如果不知道钢的成分，为了决定其温度 范围，有必要做一些初步试验。 A good procedure to follow is to heat-quench a number of small speciments of the steel at various temperatures and observe the results, either by hardness testing or by microscopic examination. 以下提及的好方法之一是在各种温度下加热淬冷 一些小的钢试件，既可用硬度试验也可用金相检 查观察其结果。 hardness testing 硬度试验 Even after the correct temperature has been reached, the piece should be held at that temperature for a sufficient period of time to permit its thickest section to attain a uniform temperature. 甚至在达到了正确的温度之后，工件也应在此 温度保温有效的时间，以使其最厚的截面获得均 匀一致的温度。 The hardness obtained from a given treatment depends on the quenching rate, the carbon content, and the work size. 从给定的热处理工艺中获得的硬度取决于淬火 速率、含碳量和工件尺寸。 In alloy steels the kind and amount of alloying element influences only the hardenability (the ability of the workpiece to be hardened to depths) of the steel and does not affect the hardness except in unhardened or partially hardened steels. 在合金钢中，除了非淬硬钢和局部淬硬钢之外 ，合金元素的种类和数量仅仅影响钢的淬透性（ 工件可淬硬的深度），而不影响硬度。 hardenability 淬透性 unhardened steels 非淬硬钢 partially hardened steels 局部淬硬钢 Tempering 回火 By tempering or drawing，the hardness and brittleness may be reduced to the desired point for service conditions. 通过回火，可以降低硬度和脆性， 满足使用要求。 drawing n.回火 Although this process softens steel, it differs considerably from annealing in that the process lends itself to close control of the physical properties and in most cases does not soften the steel to the extent that annealing would. 尽管回火工艺使钢变软，但它与退火 有很大不同，回火工艺适用于完全控制 钢的物理性能，在大多数情况下，钢不 会软化到退火所达到的程度。 The final structure obtained from tempering a fully hardened steel is called tempered martensite. 完全硬化钢从回火中所获得的最终 结构称为回火马氏体。 fully hardened steel 完全硬化钢 tempered martensite 回火马氏体 The tempering operation may be described as one of precipitation and agglomeration or coalescence of cementite. 回火操作可以用渗碳体的沉淀和结聚来 加以描述。 precipitation n.沉淀作用 agglomeration n.附聚作用 coalescence n.聚结 1.Two special processes using interrupted quenching are a form of tempering . 用于分级淬火的两个特殊过程也是一种 回火形式。 interrupted quenching 分级淬火，断续冷却 2.In both，the hardened steel is quenched in a salt bath held at a selected lower temperature before being allowed to cool. 在这两个过程中，在钢取出冷却之前，先将 硬钢放在选定的较低温度的盐浴中淬火。 Annealing 退火 This process is known as full annealing because it wipes out all trace of previous structure, refines the crystalline structure, and softens the metal. 此工艺过程称为完全退火，因为它清除了 以前结构的所有痕迹，细化了结晶结构， 并且软化了金属。 Normalizing and Spheroidizing 正火和球化处理 Spheroidizing is a process of producing A structure in which the cementite is in a Spheroidal distribution. 球化处理是产生渗碳体呈球状分布结构的 一种工艺过程。 If a steel is heated slowly to a temperature just below the critical range and held there for a prolonged period of time,this structure will be obtained. 如果缓慢加热钢至稍低于临界范围的 温度，并作长时间的保温，就会获得这 种结构。 Surface hardening 表面硬化 The oldest known method of producing a hard surface on steel is case hardening or carburizing. 众所周知使钢产生坚硬表面的最古老的方法是 表面硬化和渗碳处理。 Iron at temperatures close to and above its critical temperature has an affinity for carbon. 接近或超过临界温度的铁有一种对碳的亲合性 。 Pack carburizing consists of placing the parts to be treated in a closed container with some carbonaceous material such as charcoal or coke. 固体渗碳包括将需要处理的零件和一些如木炭 或焦炭类的碳质材料一起放进密闭的容器里。 pack carburizing 固体渗碳 Steel for carburizing is usually a low-carbon steel of about 0.15% carbon that would not in itself respond appreciably to heat treatment. 进行渗碳处理的钢通常是含碳量约为0.15%的 低碳钢，而低碳钢本身明显不符合热处理要求。 Because there is some grain growth in the steel during the prolonged carburizing treatment, the work should be heated to the critical temperature of the core and then cooled, thus refining the core structure. 因为在长时间的渗碳处理过程中，钢中有一些 晶粒在生长，应当加热工件至芯部的临界温度， 然后冷却，这样就能细化芯部结构。 The steel should then be reheated to a point above the transformation range of the case (AC1) and quenched to produce a hard, fine structure. 接着应当重新加热钢件至渗碳层转变范围 (AC1) 以上的某一温度，并淬冷，产生一种既坚 硬又细化的结构。 Carbonitriding 碳氮共渗 Carbonitriding, sometimes known as dry cyaniding or nicarbing, is a case-hardening process in which the steel is held at a temperature above the critical range in a gaseous atmosphere from which it absorbs carbon and nitrogen. 碳氮共渗，有时称为干氰化
