Conclusions
-
1.
The highly alloyed austenite produced in the alloys investigated, especially alloys 2 and 3, is very stable. The amount of austenite can be reduced only by combined heat treatment.
-
2.
The optimal quenching temperature for all the alloys investigated is in the range of 900–975°.
-
3.
After quenching, all the alloys should be tempered at 450–550°, which produces a hardness above HRC 60 and increases the resistance to abrasive wear.
