Abstract

The effects of cryogenic treatment on microstructure, hardness, red hardness and wear resistance of M35 high speed steel(HSS) were studied by means of scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractograph, friction and wear tester and Rockwell hardness tester. The results show that with the increase of tempering temperature, the residual austenite in M35 HSS decreases and the grain size increases gradually. After deep cryogenic treatment (DCT), the grain size of M35 HSS is refined and the wear volume is reduced. DCT at 525°C has the best wear resistance. With the increase of tempering temperature, the hardness of M35 HSS decreases first and then increases, and finally decreases sharply. The Rockwell hardness of M35 HSS at 525 °C is the highest, which is 67.1 HRC. The peak hardness of Rockwell increased by 0.7 HRC and the tempering temperature decreased from 550 °C to 525 °C, which showed good stability of red hardness.
