QUENCHING AND SELF-TEMPERING PROCESS (QST)X1.1 IntroductionThe quenching and self-tempering pro-cess, commonly referred to as “QST,” has evolved f

28、rom the“thermo-mechanical control processes” (TMCP) that havebeen known and used for a number of years. QST, which is avariation of TMCP, produces fine-grained steel by a combina-tion of chemical composition and integrated controls of manu-facturing processes from ingot or bloom reheating to in-line

29、interrupted quenching and self-tempering, thereby achievingthe specified mechanical properties in the required productthicknesses.X1.2 Outline of QSTGiven in Fig. X1.1.X1.2.1 Quenching and self-tempering (QST)-steels of finegrain size are manufactured by producing tempered martensiteand varying the

30、pearlite or bainite, or both, volume fractionthrough time quenching (interrupted quenching in which theduration of holding in the quenching medium (water) iscontrolled) in the temperature region above Ar3 (the tempera-ture at which austenite begins to transform to ferrite duringcooling) to a minimum

31、 self-tempering temperature (STT, thatis, the maximum surface temperature after quenching) of1100F 600C in order to meet the specified requirements.Time quenching can be performed after conventional rollingprocesses (AR) and (CR) or after thermomechanical controlledrolling (TMCR).X1.2.2 The selectio

32、n of the rolling process to be used ismade by the producer depending upon the chemical composi-tion, the product thickness, and the required properties.A 913/A 913M 073SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee A01 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue(A 913/A 913M04
