Abstract: Microstructure, grain sizes, carbide distribution and mechanical properties of the 75Cr1 steel for saw blade substrate under different heat treatment processes were studied. The results show that microstructures are fine acicular martensite and a less amount of residual austenite after quenching between 780 ℃ and 840 ℃, and the hardness increases slightly with the increase of quenching temperature around the level of 63 HRC. The grain size decreases from grade 10 to grade 8, and unevenness of grains is greater with the increase of temperature. With the increase of tempering temperature, the microstructure changes from tempered troostite to tempered sorbite, and the amounts of granular carbides increase. Quenched at 800 ℃ and tempered at 540 ℃, the microstructure of tempered sorbite with a dispersed distribution of fine carbides is obtained. The hardness of the 75Cr1 steel is 36.5 HRC, with good matching of strength and toughness.
