摘要	A medium-carbon Si-Mn-Ni-Cr-Mo alloyed (300M) steel was austempered for various short periods at its martensite-starting temperature of 285 degrees C to seek improved sliding wear resistance as compared to the traditional martensitic and bainitic steels. Reciprocating sliding wear tests were performed against a WC/Co ball counterpart at a constant load of 49 N. The samples were characterised using field emission SEM, XRD and hardness testing. The associated wear mechanisms were analysed using SEM and cross-sectional TEM. The results revealed that a short austempering time of 6 min produced refined arrays of initial nano-bainitic ferrite laths and inter-lath filmy austenite and the majority martensite and retained austenite, while the majority of the microstructure remained martensitic with retained austenite. The hardness was unchanged to that of the as-quenched martensite of 6.4 GPa. Simultaneously the wear coefficient decreased by 41% from 2.67 to 1.58 x 10-15 m3N-1m1, which is also superior to both the tempered martensite at 1.65 x 10-15 m3N-1m-1 and the lower bainite at 1.87 x 10-15 m3N-1m-1. Increasing the austempering time to 20 and 60 min resulted in wear coefficients of 1.38 and 2.18 x 10-15 m3N-1m-1, respectively. The improved wear resistance has been explained by the wear induced microstructure evolution, especially the carbon partitioning induced stabilisation of retained austenite. The highstress sliding wear was found to be dominated by severe shear deformation, which resulted in a nano-laminate structured top layer. Delamination wear was found to take place within the embrittled nano-laminates.
