Abstract

The effect of austenitizing temperature on microstructure, amount of retained austenite, and hardness of AISI O1 were studied in the present work. This research is focused on determining the most optimal austenization temperature where the less amount of residual austenite in AISI O1 steel material while maintaining the high hardness of AISI O1 steel material. Austenitizing temperature variations are 750, 800, 850, 900, and 950°C. Increased austenitizing temperatures cause the number of dissolved carbides to increase, the number of retained austenite (γr) is increasing in the As Quenched sample (γr 1.57% - 7.46%) as well as the As Tempered sample (γr 1.23% - 5.66%), and the martensite phase becomes coarser. Increased austenitizing temperatures led to an increase in the hardness value of As Quenched and As Tempered samples at 750°C - 800°C and decreased hardness values at 800°C - 950°C due to the effect of carbon and alloy content in the matrix, which would increase the hardness and the amount of retained austenite & grain size which would decreasing the hardness. There was no significant influence between the As Quenched sample and the As Tempered sample on the microstructure, the amount of retained austenite, and the hardness value. The most optimal austenitizing temperature is found in the variable 800oC where the sample as Quenched and As Tempered respectively have a value of 4,62% and 3,84% with a hardness value of 756,6 HB and 685,52 HB.
