Vacuum heat treatment furnace was used to test the dimensional distortion rate of SLD-MAGIC and DC53 cold working die steel specimens under three heat treatment conditions of quenching at 1030 ℃,tempering at 210 ℃ and tempering at 520 ℃,and combined with X-ray diffractometer(XRD),scanning electron microscope(SEM),high-precision differential dilatometer,JMatPro software to analyze the microstructure,characteristic parameters of martensite,the content of retained austenite and the content of secondary carbides.The results show that the volumes of the SLD-MAGIC and DC53 steel specimens expand after the three heat treatments,and their dimensional distortion rates range from 0.02%to 0.12%.The average dimensional distortion rate of the DC53 steel is about 1.9 to 2.2 times that of the SLD-MAGIC steel under the same heat treatment conditions.The average thermal expansion coefficient of the SLD-MAGIC steel from 25 ℃ to 700 ℃ is 0.15 × 10-6 ℃-1 lower than that of the DC53 steel,the carbon content and lattice constant of the martensite of the SLD-MAGIC steel are 1.34%and 2.8894 × 10-10 m,respectively,which are smaller than that of the DC53 steel.The content of retained austenite and the content of secondary carbide of SLD-MAGIC steel after heat treatment are less than that of the DC53 steel.Therefore,the size expansion effect of the SLD-MAGIC steel is smaller than that of the DC53 steel,and the SLD-MAGIC steel has the characteristic of heat treatment microdistortion.
