have little influence on the bainite transformation. Especially , the“ ” design in the low carbon steel can obtain fully bainitic structures over a wide range cooling rate[8 ] . The molybdenum content is within % % considering the addition of other alloying elements having a similar action to retard the overcooling austenite and chromium are also added to increase the hardenability , as they can give maximum depression of Bs temperature and minimum depression of Ms temperature , which is good for the has been chosen to cont rol austenite grain growth , and its content is %. 3 Factory Trial Production of NQP Steel Based on the steel , the NQP steel was produced after fing. It s size was 460 mm 800 mm 3200 mm. The hardness was measured every 20 mm along the directions of 460 mm and 800 mm separately , and it fluctuated between HRC 37 and microstructures were bainite both in the core and surface , and no massive ferrite appeared() Fig 3 Microstructures of NOP steel 4 Conclusions The cooling rates at core and surface of a block are estimated by FEM simulation and physical simulation in the laboratory , which provides the data to select the suitable hardenability for the NQP steel. The steel with good bainitic hardenability is selected from the 9 test steels prepared in t he laboratory , whose chemical position is . It has better machineability pared with C45 steel [9]. The NQP steel is produced successfully in the factory based on the steel produced in the laboratory. It s microstructure is bainite and its hardness fluctuates between HRC 37 and 40 in the 460 mm 800 mm 3200 mm mould. References : [ 1 ] CHEN Zaizhi , MA Dangshen.
