Effect of Prior Boriding on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Nanobainitic X37CrMoV5-1 Hot-Work Tool Steel.

The influence of prior pack boriding on the microstructure and properties of nanobainitised X37CrMoV5-1 hot-work tool steel was investigated in the present work. Pack boriding was conducted at 950 °C for 4 h. Nanobainitising consisted of two-step isothermal quenching at 320 °C for 1 h, followed by annealing at 260 °C for 18 h.

The Effect of Hybrid Treatment Combining Boriding and Nanobainitising on the Tribological and Mechanical Properties of 66SiMnCrMo6-6-4 Bearing Steel.

The effect of a new hybrid heat treatment consisting of pack-boriding and nanobainitising on the microstructure and properties of EN 66SiMnCrMo6-6-4 bearing steel was investigated. The hybrid treatment produces a new high-strength (ca. 1480 MPa) material with a hard boride (ca.

Influence of Intermediate Annealing Treatment on the Kinetics of Bainitic Transformation in X37CrMoV5-1 Steel.

Intermediate annealing treatment (IAT) is a new process that accelerates the bainitic transformation in steels. This stimulation is crucial, especially in the prolonged production of nanobainitic steels. Among other recognised methods, it seems to be an effective and economical process.
