    Effect of Austenitizing Temperatures on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Aisi 9254 Steel
    (Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2021) Murathan, Omer Faruk; Davut, Kemal; Kilicli, Volkan
    In this study, the effect of austenitizing temperatures and low-temperature isothermal heat treatment (below martensite start temperature) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AISI 9254 high silicon spring steel has been investigated. Experimental studies show that ultra-fine carbide-free bainite, tempered martensite and carbon enriched retained austenite could be observed in isothermally heat-treated samples where the as-received sample consisted of fine pearlite. A high tensile strength of similar to 2060 MPa, a total elongation of similar to 8 %, and absorbed energy of 105 J were achieved in a commercial high-Si steel by austempering below the Ms temperature. A good combination of strength and ductility has been obtained in prolonged austempering below the martensite start temperature (225 degrees C) from an austenitizing temperature of 870 degrees C.
