EN The effect of a new hybrid heat treatment consisting of pack-boriding and nanobainitising on the microstructure and properties of EN 66SiMnCrMo6-6-4 bearing steel was investigated. The hybrid treatment produces a new high-strength (ca. 1480 MPa) material with a hard boride (ca. 2000 HV0.05) surface layer and a relatively ductile nanobainitic core. The formation of the boride layer significantly improves wear resistance. The boride layer, which is hard but susceptible to cracking, reduces the mechanical properties under tensile and impact loads. However, the borided and nanobainitised steel exhibits much higher tensile strength and ductility and slightly better impact toughness than steel after post-boriding quenching and tempering.
