Abstract

The microstructures throughout a 696 × 1360 mm cross-section of an ISO 1.2738 prehardened steel block for a plastic mold were characterized via optical and electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction. The hardness, strength, and polishing performance of the steel block were also tested. The results showed that the microstructure of the steel bloom from the edge to the core consisted of tempered sorbite, tempered bainite, and pearlite microstructures. Abnormal upper bainite and coarse carbides were also found. The bloom sections with hardness values of 37.4 to 39.3 HRC comprised tempered sorbite and bainite. The hardness of the core was approximately 36.5 HRC due to the presence of pearlite. The tensile and yield strengths were the same in the edge and middle areas mainly owing to tempered sorbite. The polishing performance was affected by the microstructure. Tempered sorbite produced the best polishing performance due to its fine and uniform microstructure, whereas that of tempered bainite and pearlite, which contained large carbide particles and mixed phases, was worse.
