Abstract
One important method to improve the material properties is refinement of the prior austenite grain size. Repeated quenching is used as a grain refinement method. In the present work, samples of SUJ2 steel were furnace quenched once and thrice in order to investigate the effect of repeated quenching on rolling contact fatigue (RCF) strength. After the RCF tests, maicrostructure observations, Vickers hardness and retained austenite measurements, RCF life evaluation using the Weibull distribution were carried out. It was found that the dispersion of the life population was reduced by repeatedly quenching.
