Abstract: Microstructure, Vickers hardness of 35Si2Cr hot-rolled steel quenched at 930, 950, 970, 990 and 1010 ℃ and tensile properties, impact properties tempered at 460 ℃ were investigated. The results show that there is decreasing ferrite content in the core area of all the quenched microstructure when the temperature increases from 930 ℃ to 1010 ℃, and the quenched Vickers hardness is fluctuated from depth of 6 mm to the core due to the non-uniformity of the microstructure. The 1010 ℃ quenched Vickers hardness from edge to 1/2 radius is the highest, which shows the higher quenching temperature is good for austenite homogenization. There is no change of tensile properties quenched at 930-1010 ℃ and tempered at 460 ℃, and the best impact properties can be obtained when quenched at 1010 ℃ and tempered at 460 ℃. When the quenching temperature is 1010 ℃, 35Si2Cr steel has better comprehensive mechanical properties.
