It has been reported that a multiphase microstructure with bainite, martensite, and retained austenite obtained by austempering, or quenching and tempering of spring steel containing Si, Mn, and Cr exhibits high strength and ductility. However, little research has been conducted on the bainite formation and impact fracture behavior of next-generation spring steel from the perspective of engineering and industrial applications. The microstructural transformation characteristics of bainite and martensite related to the heat treatment cycle on the maker side were quantitatively analyzed using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. Moreover, the effects and mechanical properties of bainite and martensite formation in response to changes in lath length and width were studied and analyzed. That is, to obtain the mechanical properties of spring steel with the highest quality, tensile and impact specimens, whose microstructure and notch shape change according to the heat-treatment cycle, were prepared and studied.
