Abstract

The bucket tooth is an excavator component, primarily used for digging soil or rock. Due to frequent wear and tear, its mechanical properties require enhancement. This research aimed to increase the hardness and wear resistance of PC200 excavator bucket teeth through quenching and tempering. The material used in the study was low alloy steel. The heat treatment process involved austenitization at 850℃ followed by quenching and tempering at varying temperatures of 300℃, 400℃, and 500℃. The microstructure formed after austenitization and quenching consists of pearlite, ferrite, retained austenite, and a small amount of martensite, leading to a 13% increase in hardness and a 5% improvement in wear resistance compared to the as-cast. Tempering at temperatures ranging from 300℃ to 500℃ further enhanced both hardness and wear resistance. Tempering at 500℃ resulted in hardness and wear resistance increases are 28% and 30%, attributed to the formation of carbides within the retained austenite grains and the development of a spheroidal pearlite structure. Hence, austenitization followed by quenching and tempering at 500℃ is recommended to optimize the hardness and wear resistance of PC200 excavator bucket teeth made from low alloy steel.
