Abstract
Two new surface strengthening processes,Ultrasonic rolling treatment before and after quenching were investigated on GCr15 steel. The surface integrity and corrosion were tested and ABAQUS simulation was conducted for the two processes. As a result, the proposed process is to carry out ultrasonic rolling on the GCr15 after quenching by the small static loads and rolling times. In comparision with the unquenched sample, the quenched sample is more prone to dislocation and slip, resulting in better grain refinement effect. When the static loads and rolling times are small, ultrasonic rolling has a good peak-cutting and valley-filling effect on the quenched sample surface, which leads to the roughness of the quenched samples less than that of the unquenched samples. The initial residual compressive stress in the quenched sample due to heat treatment is greater and deeper than that of the unquenched sample due to large plastic deformation under small static loads or rolling times. The hardness of the unquenched samples is much lower than that of the quenched samples, owing to better grain refinement effect in quenched samples. The corrosion resistance of quenched samples is better than that of unquenched samples.
