Abstract: In order to improve the plasticity and toughness of 52CrMoV4 spring flat steel with large section, the hot rolled 52CrMoV4 flat steel was hot forged and high temperature diffused. The impact property of the hot-rolled, forged and high temperature diffused flat steel after quenching and tempering was measured, as well as the impact fracture morphology, microstructure and hardness were investigated. The results show that compared with the hot-rolled flat steel, the effect of hot forging on improving the microstructure and properties of the flat steel is limited. High temperature diffusion at 1220 ℃ can homogenize the composition and microstructure of the flat steel, the transverse impact absorbed energy at core of the flat steel is increased by about 45%.

Key words: spring steel, high temperature diffusion, segregation, impact property
