Abstract
(Cr, Fe)7C3/γ-Fe composite layer has been in situ synthesized on a low carbon steel surface by vacuum electron beam VEB irradiation. The synthesized samples were then subdued to different heat treatments to improve their impaired impact toughness. The microstructure, impact toughness and wear resistance of the heat-treated samples were studied by means of optical microscope (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), microhardness tester, impact test machine and tribological tester. After heat treatment, the primary and eutectic carbides remained in their original shape and size, and a large number of secondary carbides precipitated in the iron matrix. Since the Widmanstatten ferrite in the heat affected zone (HAZ) transformed to fine ferrite completely, the impact toughness of the heat-treated samples increased significantly. The microhardness of the heat-treated samples decreased slightly due to the decreased chromium content in the iron matrix. The wear resistance of 1000∘C and 900∘C heat-treated samples was almost same with the as-synthesized sample. While the wear resistance of the 800∘C heat-treated one decreased slightly because part of the austenite matrix had transformed to ferrite matrix, which reduced the bonding of carbides particulates.
