Time-temperature graph for steel with chemical composition (% by mass): C-0.44, Si-0.17, Mn-0.53, P-0.006, S-0.002, Al-0.04, Cr-0.31, Cu-0.01, Co-0.02, Ni-2.03, Mo-0.14, B-0.002, Ti-0.006, V-0.006; austenitized in temperature TA = 788 °C, assumed size of the former austenite grain – 10 μm. (A) Constant cooling – CCT. (B) Isothermal cooling – TTT. Assigned temperatures for individual transformations, phases and components of the structure: pearlite – 708 °C, ferrite – 738 °C, bainite – 550 °C, martensite (50%) – 264 °C, martensite (90 %) – 179 °C, MS = 300 °C.

Hardox 600 steel’s microstructure in the delivery state with a clearly distinct banding pattern resulting from thermomechanical rolling. (A) Longitudinal orientation – hardness of 560 HBW. (B) Transverse orientation – hardness of 552 HBW. Light microscopy, etched with 3 % HNO3.

Magnified image of the central zone of the microphotography that was shown in Figure 2. (A) Longitudinal orientation – tempered martensite-like structure; a locally (in bands) quenched martensite structure. (B) Transverse orientation – tempered martensite-like structure, a mainly small lath structure. Light microscopy, etched with 3 % HNO3.

Hardox 600 steel microstructure in normalized conditions. (A) Longitudinal orientation – hardness of 347 HBW. (B) Transverse orientation – Hardness of 283 HBW. In both cases, the quenched structures exhibit a wide structural diversity with a great percentage of diffusion structures. Light microscopy, etched with 3 % HNO3.

Magnified image of the central zones of the microphotography that was shown in Figure 4. (A) Longitudinal orientation. (B) Transverse orientation.

Light microscopy, etched with 3 % HNO3.
