Abstract: Effect of different pre-treatments on microstructure and properties of ZG25CrNiMo steel was studied before and after quenching and tempering. The results show that the ZG25CrNiMo cast steel has coarse-grained structure heredity characteristics. A simple 890 ℃×2 h+normalizing pre-treatment has limited ability to improve the microstructure heredity. Through 950 ℃×2 h high temperature normalizing+890 ℃×2 h normalizing pre-treatment, the structural heredity characteristics can be eliminated and the austenite grains can be refined. On this double normalizing basis, another 670 ℃×6 h annealing treatment is carried out to refine the grains and also eliminate the residual internal stress. After further treatment of quenching and tempering, the tensile strength of the ZG25CrNiMo steel reaches more than 800 MPa, and the low temperature impact absorbed energy at -45 ℃ reaches more than 50 J.

Key words: ZG25CrNiMo cast steel, microstructure heredity, high temperature normalizing, annealing, quenching and tempering
