Results show that the 0.04% Nb steel had a fatigue limit of 1170 MPa, 18% higher than that of the Nb-free steel. It is also shown that the 0.04% Nb steel had finer prior austenite grain sizes in the carburized case as a result of the pinning effect of fine Nb(C,N) particles on austenite grain coarsening during carburization. Scanning electron micrographic observations on the fracture surface of the fatigue specimens show that fatigue crack usually initiated from oxide inclusions and propagated along prior austenite grain boundaries, indicating that the finer prior austenite grain size in the carburized case of the 0.04% Nb steel can contribute to its higher fatigue properties. 关键字：渗碳钢，旋转弯曲疲劳，晶粒度，微合金化 KEY WORDS: case hardening steel; rotating bending fatigue; grain size; microalloying 引言 细化晶粒是提高渗碳齿轮钢疲劳性能的有效手段[1,2]。Matlock等人的研究表明，随渗碳层原奥氏体晶粒尺寸疲劳疲劳强度渗碳层原奥氏体晶粒尺寸符合Hall-Petch关系[]。℃以上高温进行，并且需保持较长时间，其奥氏体晶粒容易长大。采用Nb微合金化，能有效地阻止奥氏体晶粒在1000℃高温下的长大，因此有可能提高渗碳齿轮钢的疲劳性能[4]。微合金化元素疲劳性能文含Nb钢和无Nb钢的疲劳性能观察疲劳来疲劳。钢，一种是采用工业电炉+炉外精炼冶炼的商业用钢，另一种是采用真空感应炉冶炼添加0.044%Nb的试验用钢，成分如表1所示。两种钢分别用Nb-free和0.04Nb表示。0.04Nb钢严格控制氧氮含量，而Nb-free钢的氮含量远远大于0.04Nb钢的氮含量。 表1 试验钢的化学成分 (wt%) Table 1 Chemical compositions of the experimental steels (wt%) Steel C Si Mn P S Cr Mo Nb [O] [N] Nb-free 0.21 0.27 0.83 0.009 0.008 1.16 0.21 - 0.0019 0.0110 0.04Nb 0.21 0.24 0.84 0.006 0
