摘要

Heredity in the microstructure and mechanical properties of hot-rolled spring steel wire 60Si2MnA during heat treatment process was investigated comprehensively.The steel was isothermally transformed to obtain various hot-rolled microstructure (pearlite fineness within the range of 140-510 nm) and mechanical properties,and followed by some quenching-tempering treatment.Afterwards,microstructure was characterized by optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy and quantitative metallography,and mechanical properties were determined by tensile test.The results indicated that the hot-rolled microstructure with a coarsen pearlite structure had been changed after reheating,to a austenite microstructure with bigger and more uneven grain size,and finally to a coarsen tempered microstructure.And the average austenite grain size and standard deviation of its distribution in quenched microstructure were observed to depend linearly on the interlamellar spacing in hot-rolled microstructure.Besides,to obtain a good combination of the final strength and plasticity,an optimum value range (190-280 nm) of the interlamellar spacing had been determined for the interlamellar spacing in hot-rolled microstructure.
