Abstract: The effects of homogenizing annealing and forging on the microstructure, strength and toughness of the dual-phase wear-resistant steel were investigated. The results showed that the microstructure of the steel contained mainly lath martensite, acicular bainite and a little retained austenite under 980℃ homogenizing annealing for 4 and 8hrs respectively and 1150℃ forging. The minimum grain size of the steel is No.7.0~7.5 grade after forging while the maximum grain size of the steel homogenized is No.6.5~7.0 grade. The holding time of the homogenizing annealing is the main factor that affects the mechanical properties of dual-phase wear resistant steels, and the impact toughness and elongation values of the test steels holding for 4hrs are higher than that of the test steels holding for 8hrs. Forging deformation improves the strength and toughness of dual-phase wear resistant steels more significantly than that under homogenizing annealing, and the optimized process parameters were as follow with initial forging temperature of 1150℃, final forging temperature of 800℃ and forging ratio of 2.
