Abstract

The effect of deep cryogenic treatment on microstructure and carbon partition behavior of high carbon high alloy tool steel SDC99, which had been tempered at different temperatures was investigated by three-dimensional atom probe and internal friction combined with the hardness testing. The results show that the hardness of SDC99 steel significantly increased after deep cryogenic treatment. The hardness of SDC99 sample after deep cryogenic treatment is 2 HRC higher than the quenching sample, while the hardness of sample subjected to deep cryogenic treated and then tempered at 200^oC is 1.5 HRC higher than the conventional heat treated sample. The enlargement of the Snoek-Kê-K?ster (SKK) peak height indicates stronger interaction between the interstitial carbon atoms and dislocations after deep cryogenic treatment. In comparison to the merely quenched sample, the dislocation density of the quenched and deep cryogenic treated sample increased by 17%. The extent of carbon segregation was enhanced significantly after deep cryogenic treatment. The peak of the carbon atom concentration in carbon-rich regions of SDC99 steel after quenched, deep cryogenic treated, quenched and then tempered at 200℃, deep cryogenic treated and then tempered at 200^oC are 2%, 8%, 8% and 15% (atomic fraction) respectively.

Key words: metallic materials carbon partition three-dimensional atom probe deep cryogenic treatment internal friction
