Description
Summary:The solid phase transformation of martensitic steel during heat treatment will affect the stress and temperature. Previous residual stress prediction models ignore the effect of phase transition on residual stress. In order to predict residual stress accurately, a residual stress calculation method considering solid phase transition was presented. The measures to reduce residual stress in quenching medium, cooling rate, and the starting temperature and tempering temperature of the martensitic transformation were studied. The experimental results show that residual stress decreases after air cooling. In a certain range, residual stress can be reduced during heat treatment by decreasing the cooling rate and the martensite start temperature. The recommended tempering temperature is 380 °C.
