Effect of Thermo-mechanical Control Process on Property of Age Hardenable Copper Bearing Steel

摘要

The effects of the thermo-mechanical control process (TMCP) on the mechanical properties of aged hardenable Cu bearing steel were examined. The reheating quenching and direct quenching on the properties were analyzed. The precipitation of ε-Cu particles were observed in the experiment, it will helpful to preset the process parameters. It was revealed that the improvement of mechanical properties were partly attributed to the precipitation particles due to Cu addition over 1% and the direct quenching process.
