DESIGNING OF ADVANCED AND ORIGINAL AUSTEMPERING PROCESSES BASED ON THERMAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PHYSICS APPROACHES
Abstract
In the paper, a small concentration of inverse solubility polymers in water and other liquid media is recommended to eliminate film boiling by means of reducing initial heat flux density. Quenching steel parts and tools in a small concentration of water solutions under pressure allows performing austempering process just using cold liquids. Its essence consists in coinciding martensite start temperature MS with the average temperature of self-regulated thermal process during nucleate boiling mode and further immediate transferring steel parts for tempering at the temperature which exceeds value MS. The new technology increases the service life of austempered workpieces by more than two times, saves alloy elements, is suitable for larger metallic components, improves environmental conditions, since instead of melted salts and alkali, plain water and water salt solutions can be used. The new austempering process can be used in forging shops to obtain super-strengthened materials in order to switch from alloy steel to plain carbon steels. And it can be also widely used for obtaining nano - bainitic structure in plain carbon steels resulting in saving alloy elements and improving mechanical characteristics of materials.
