In the present study, design of experiments methods was used to establish the relationship between the heat-treatment parameters and the mechanical properties (impact toughness and hardness) of Hadfield steel 110G13Kh2BRL. The austenitizing temperature T and holding time τ were varied as factors, while the cooling medium — a salt solution — was kept constant. To determine the optimal heat-treatment parameters, the experiments were arranged according to a second-order orthogonal design, and multi-criteria optimization was carried out using the response surface methodology (RSM). Based on the experimental results, the following optimal values were obtained: Topt = 1039 °C and τopt = 40 min; under this regime, the impact toughness and hardness were 238.07 J/cm² (KCU) and 320 HV, respectively.
