Structure and mechanical properties of steel 20SiMn3NiA normalized at 860 ℃
oil quenched at 900 ℃ for 40 min and tempered at 180~650℃ for 90~150 min have been studied. Results show that the better tempering temperature of steel is 200~250℃
the lath martensite
fine slim rod precipitated carbide and residual austenite are obtained in the steel tempered at 230 ℃ and with steel tempered at 250 ℃ the tensile strength(Rm)is more than 1500 MPa and the impact energy(Axv)is higher than 80J with excellent combination of strength and toughness as the steel 20SiMn3NiA is tempered at 320 ℃
the precipitated carbide is continuous lamellar distribution in steel led to lower impact energy of steel and thMeastea0Iie3NiSeelm2p0et3~
