Abstract: Step quenching process of high chromium cast iron roller was simulated by using LINSEIS L78 dilatometer. The effect of step quenching temperature on Ms point, microstructure and hardness was studied by means of thermal dilation, optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the step quenching has little effect on the phase transformation during step quenching process, but it reduces the Ms point comparing with the direct quenching, and the Ms point decreases with the decrease of step quenching temperature. As the step quenching temperature is 560 ℃, the Ms point decreases a little, while the hardness increases to 62.1 HRC. Moreover, the hardness further increases to 64.5 HRC after tempering at 450-500 ℃.
