20 MnCrNi2 Mo钢贝氏体回火转变

20MnCrNi2Mo钢贝氏体回火转变摘要：

本文研究了20MnCrNi2Mo钢的贝氏体回火转变过程。通过对样品进行热处理和金相观察，确定了该钢的组织特征。然后，对不同温度下的回火处理进行了研究，并通过硬度测试和金相观察，分析了回火过程中组织结构的变化以及硬度的变化规律。结果表明，20MnCrNi2Mo钢在不同的回火温度下，其硬度变化呈现明显的差异。当回火温度为400℃时，该钢的硬度达到最低值，随着回火温度升高，其硬度逐渐增大。同时，在不同的回火温度下，贝氏体的形态也有所变化。在400℃以下的回火温度下时，钢的贝氏体组织为细小均匀的板条状结构，而在600℃及以上时，贝氏体出现粗大的板条状结构。这些研究结果对于深入了解20MnCrNi2Mo钢的性能有着重要的意义。

Inthisstudy,thehardnessofthe20MnCrNi2Mosteeldecreasedrapidlyasthetemperingtemperatureincreasedfrom400℃to500℃.Thiswasattributedtothecoarseninganddissolutionofcarbideparticles.After500℃,thehardnessdecreasesloweddownbutcontinuedtodecreasewithincreasingtemperingtemperature.Whenthetemperingtemperaturereached600℃,thehardnessbegantoincreasesignificantly.Thiswasmainlyduetotheprecipitationofcementiteandthegrowthofferritegrains,whichledtothetransformationofbainitefromafineandhomogeneousplate-likestructuretoacoarseandirregularplate-likestructure.
