0. 11V) is melted by 25 kg vacuum induction fumace and rolled to 16 mm x300 mm slab. The static continuous cooling transformation (CCT) curves of spring steel 65Si2CrV is obtained by Gleeble-2000 thermal simulation testing machine using dilatometry combined with metallographic analysis and microhardness test
and the phase temperature of steel cooled with 0. 2 ~ 10 °C/ s is gotten
as cooling rate increases from 1°C/s to 5 °C/s the HV10 microhardness value of steel dramatically increases from 380 to 800.
