The results show that the microstructure of the as-cast medium carbon high boron iron-base alloy consists of pearlite (P), martensite (M) and borocarbide. The volume fraction of borocarbide, which was mainly composed of M23(B, C)6, M(B, C), M3(B, C) and M2(B, C), was 31.3%. After quenched at the temperature of 950, 1000, 1050 and 1100 ℃, the matrix microstructure changed into martensite with a small amount of residual austenite content of 3.5%, 4.0%, 4.6% and 5.4% respectively. There was no change on borocarbide type, but the network pattern of borocarbide was broken because of partial dissolution. The volume fraction of borocarbide after quenching at the four temperatures were 30.6%, 29.1%, 27.3% and 26.4% respectively; With raising of quenching temperature, the amount of solid-solution alloy elements in matrix increased, and the borocarbide reduced gradually, therefore the separation effect to the matrix was reduced. The hardness and impact toughness of the alloy after quenching were significantly enhanced. After quenching at 950-1100 ℃, the hardness increased firstly and then decreased with quenching temperature, while the impact toughness consistently raised.
