Abstract
To investigate the effect of heat treatment on mechanical properties and delayed fracture resistance of high strength steel, 30MnSi prestressed concrete (PC) steel bars are quenched and tempered. Tensile results show that, after 950 °C quenching and about 430 °C tempering, 30MnSi PC steel bars have superior mechanical properties and delayed fracture resistance. Microstructural observation shows that 30MnSi steel bar is mainly composed of fine tempered sorbite (troostite) with carbide distributed along the lath martensite boundaries. It can be concluded that thermal refining is an effective way to improve mechanical properties and delayed fracture resistance of 30MnSi PC steel bar.
