Process for producing a work piece of machine construction steel and work piece produced by this process

摘要

Micro-alloyed steel consists of (in wt%): 0.05-0.5 C; 1-2 Mn; 0.05-1.55 Si; 0.1-1 Cr; 0-0.5 Mo; 0-0.3 V; 0-0.01 B; 0-0.03 Ti; and 0-0.1Nb. It has a bainitic structure. A blank of the steel is subjected to surface heat treatment by laser beam, induction heating or electron bombardment, followed by quenching. The heat affected zones are heated to 500-900 degrees C and cooled at a rate of above 500 degrees C/hr..
