Resumen:
The austemperability of seven high silicon cast steels with different alloy contents was characterised. The maximum round bar diameter that can be fully austempered changed from about10 mm for an unalloyed steel to more than 70 mm for a low-alloy steel. The austemperability was calculated by applying a procedure based on a standard Jominy test and the characterisation of the microstructure along the Jominy sample. The method, which was validated experimentally, creates a relatively simple procedure to measure austemperability. Processing factors such as the ability of the salt bath to extract heat and the austempering temperature are accounted for the method. The metallographic study revealed the influence of microsegregation on hardenability, which is particularly important for cast steels.
