Evaluation of Selected Properties of Steel 100Cr6 at Different Ways of Heat Treatment

Abstract

This study discusses the impact of heat treatment conditions on the final properties of quenched and low-tempered bearing components in terms of microstructure, hardness and impact strength. Technological process of heat treatment must be done rationally and in addition to the required hardness must also ensure the dimensional precision of bearings components. Different austenitization conditions have a great influence on the phenomena which takes place in the material during the austenitizing. Heat treatment of rolling bearing components is an indispensable part of their production and it is also an unavoidable item of the price calculation of bearings. The aim of a competitive struggle for the rolling bearings market is an offer of the best quality bearings (dimensional accuracy, stability and durability) at a reasonable price.

Ultrasonic Inspection Techniques Possibilities for Centrifugal Cast Copper Alloy

“…For these reasons, the ultrasonic testing of castings is not so widespread as in other types of production materials. Ultrasonic testing costs often exceed the cost of casting production of one casting [1,8,9].…”

“…When evaluation of the defects is based on the commonly used curves, the effects of differential attenuation in material lead to incorrect information about the defect size. Consequently, where the castings are tested, we identify only the presence of defects, its location and approximate size [2,5,8].…”

Adhesion Properties Evaluation of Heat Treated Steel 100Cr6 with Applied DLC Coating

“…The composition of the coating layer expects to not only higher microhardness values and other mechanical properties, but also higher thermal and chemical resistance. Its application to tribological properties are expected to be characterized by a low coefficient of friction against steel, low application temperatures on the substrate and removal of lubricating fluids in the systems [2,5].…”

The Effect of Boriding and Heat Treatment on the Structure and Properties of 100Cr6 Steel

“…1. Other factors that affect the final structure of the steel after heat treatment include the level of the hardening (austenitization) temperature, the grain size of the austenite, introduced deformation, and, last but not least, the structure of the steel before heat treatment [2][3]. The resulting abrasion resistance of the material can then be further increased by surface treatment.…”
