چکیده
Article history: Received: 22.5.2013. Received in revised form: 16.9.2013. Accepted: 11.10.2013. Pre-quenching and pre-normalization are selected as pre-treatment processes. Microstructures, the tensile strength and hardness of zero-time-holding quenched 40Cr steel with different pre-treatment are investigated. The results show that the zerotime-holding 40Cr steel quenched by prequenching is fine martensite and exhibits higher tensile strength and hardness than that with prenormalization. The mechanical properties of the zero-time-holding 40Cr steel quenched by prequenching are better than that with prenormalization. The effect of pre-treatment on the mechanical properties of zero-time-holding quenched 40Cr steel becomes prominent when the zero-time-holding quenching temperature decreases. The mechanical properties of zero-timeholding 40Cr steel quenched at 860-890°C can be improved with austenite inverse transformation.

In the rail industry, sections of high strength Manganese steel are employed at critical locations in railroad networks. Ultrasonic inspections of Manganese steel microstructures are difficult to inspect with conventional means, as the propagation medium is highly attenuative, coarse-grained, anisotropic and nonhomogeneous in nature. Current in-service inspection methods are ineffective while p...
