Carbo-Austempering - A new wrinkle?

摘要

The Carbo-Austempering process is a high-performance steel heat treatment that combines a high carbon bainitic case with either a bainitic or tempered Martensite core to produce a component with an exceptional combination of strength and toughness. This paper will review the Carbo-Austempering process and its commercial applications. The properties of Carbo-Austempered steel along with the benefits and limitations of the process will also be discussed.
