Effect of Quenching and Tempering Process on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of XCQ16 Axle Steel

Jing Yi-nong

Abstract

The effect of quenching temperature and tempering temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of XCQ16 steel was studied by means of material tensile test, notch-bar impact test and Rockwell hardness. The relationship between microstructure and properties of the steel and the fracture feature were also discussed. The results show that XCQ16 steel can obtain an excellent effectiveness of strengthening and toughening after 880 ℃ quenching and 530℃tempering.
