The effects of deformation temperature on phase transformation and microstructure in nanostructured bainite steel were studied. The results indicate that the deformed austenite with a strain of 0.3 at 300°C presents accelerated kinetics of bainitic transformation. However, the amount of bainite in ausformed austenite then reduces with the increase in deformation temperature. A critical deformation temperature, determining whether the bainitic transformation can be promoted, was found in deformed austenite. In addition, the thickness of bainite plate in deformed austenite reduces with the decrease in ausforming temperature. The adjacent bainite ferrite plates grow up interactively, and the intersection angle is about 60–73°. A lower ausforming temperature contributes to a more serious cross-growth phenomenon of bainite plates. 相似文献

Microstructure consisting of ferrite, bainite and retained austenite can be obtained through intercritical annealing and isothermal treatment in bainite transformation region for low silicon TRIP (transformation induced plasticity) steel containing niobium. Effects of strain rate, Nb content and soaking temperature in bainite region on microstructure and mechanical properties of test steels were investigated. It is shown that as strain rate ranges from 10^-2 to 10^-4 s^-1, the volume fraction of transformed martensite from retained austenite, as well as tensile strength, elongation rate and strength-ductility product, increases. When Nb is added, the volume fraction of retained austenite decreases, but tensile strength and yield strength increase. While Nb content reaches 0.014%, the steel exhibits high elongation and combination of strength and ductility. Higher retained austenite volume fraction and good mechanical properties are obtained in the test steels when the soaking temperature in bainite region is 400℃. The maximum values of tensile strength, total elongation rate and strength-ductility product can reach 739 MPa, 38% and 28082 MPa%, respectively. 相似文献

The possible influence of banded microstructure on the fracture performance of a high-carbon steel is investigated using electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. The banded microstructure was found to be alternating layers of bainite and tempered martensite/retained austenite. Transformation of bainite was promoted by a combined effect of segregation of alloying elements, non-uniform thermal gradient across the steel, and the insufficient austenitisation. The transformation of bainite along the prior austenite grain boundaries (PAGBs) introduces a non-uniform strain distribution at bainite/martensite interface and a higher stress concentration, which may eventually lead to the failure of the heavy section in a brittle intergranular manner. Results provide insights to the importance of understanding the bainitic transformation in such eutectoid steel systems. 相似文献

Effect of austenite grain size on isothermal bainite transformation in low carbon microalloyed steel
《Materials Science & Technology》2013,29(11):1657-1663
AbstractThe effect of austenite grain size on isothermal bainite transformation in a low carbon microalloyed steel was studied by means of optical microscopy, SEM and TEM. Two widely varying austenite grain sizes, a fine average grain size (~20 μm) and a coarse average grain size (~260 μm), were obtained by different maximum heating temperatures. The results showed that the morphology of isothermal microstructure changes from bainite without carbide precipitation to bainitic ferrite with a decrease in holding temperature. Coarse austenite grain can retard the kinetics of bainite transformation and increase the incubation time of bainite transformation by reducing the number of nucleation site, but it does not influence the nose temperature of the C curve of bainite start transformation, which is ~534°C. 相似文献

The time–temperature–transformation (TTT) and continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagrams of 86CrMoV7 steel with and without hot deformation were constructed by means of dilatometry, metallography and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the pearlite and bainite transformations of 86CrMoV7 steel can be promoted and the microstructure can be refined by hot deformation. The undissolved carbides associated with hot deformation increase the inhomogeneity of carbon distribution in deformed austenite. The inhomogeneities of the austenite increase the number of nucleation sites for pearlite and bainite, and promote pearlite and bainite formation, which result in refinement of both the pearlite and bainite microstructures. In contrast, the undissolved carbides do not play a direct role on the pearlite and bainite transformation of 86CrMoV7 steel in the absence of hot deformation. 相似文献

A local electrode atom probe has been used to analyze the solute partitioning during bainite transformation in a novel, nanocrystalline
bainitic steel. Atom probe results show the absence of any partitioning of substitutional elements between the phases involved.
The results are fully consistent with the diffusionless transformation of austenite to bainite. However, substitutional elements
are expected to redistribute approaching an equilibrium phase boundary as the mixture of bainitic ferrite and retained austenite
is tempered. The compositional analysis of the austenite/ferrite interface by atom probe tomography indicates that retained
austenite decomposes during tempering before equilibrium is reached at the interface. 相似文献

This paper describes nanostructured railway wheels made of Si–Mn–Mo–V low-carbon steel through an advanced metallurgy process and fabrication technology. The microstructure of the wheels, particularly in the rim portion, is composed of carbide-free bainite that consists of bainitic ferrite laths and retained austenite films along the lath boundaries. The thickness of the laths and films is in nanometer scale. For comparison, traditional pearlite–ferrite wheel steels are also investigated. Test results show that carbide-free bainite steel is superior to pearlite–ferrite steel not only in yield strength but also in fracture toughness. Theoretical explanation of these phenomena is also elucidated. 相似文献

A combination of laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and dilatometry was utilised to simultaneously qualitatively analyse the morphological evolution of bainite by examination of in situ observed micrographs and to quantitatively investigate the amount of bainite transformation by studying dilatometry data. Shorter bainite structures form for smaller prior austenite grain sizes and lower cooling rates, which causes greater bainite transformation to occur in the latter stages of the transformation process. On the other hand, the amount of lath-shape sub-structure increases due to a higher cooling rate. In addition, the surface relief presents greater height and the peak and valley values stay farther away from the horizontal line for specimens at a higher cooling rate. In addition, a lower strain energy per unit volume gives rise to greater bainite transformation compared to that from abundant driving forces. 相似文献

Based on the phase transformation theories, especially the T0 concept of bainite transformation, alloy optimisation of bainitic steel with carbides has been carried out aiming at the produce of plastic mould with large cross-section. The effect of manganese and silicon on proeutectoid ferrite and bainite transformation is explored by dilatometric analysis, XRD and different microscopy techniques. The results show that after the alloy optimisation, the transformation of proeutectoid ferrite is suppressed and when the cooling rate is lower than 0·1°C?s??1, the new lower bainite transformation appears by decreasing carbon capacity of austenite and promoting carbide precipitation. Industrial production proves that the optimised alloy SDP1 can meet the demand for the plastic mould with the thickness of 1050?mm. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to investigate and understand the phase transformations during the decomposition of austenite, which occurs during isothermal treatments below the martensite start temperature (Ms) in a low-carbon steel. Isothermal holding treatments after rapid cooling to various temperatures (forming a controlled volume fraction of initial martensite) were carried out in a dilatometer. Results obtained by dilatometry, microstructural characterization and hardness were analyzed. This combination of results shows that the microstructures formed below the Ms temperature are mainly bainitic, mixed with tempered martensite. The kinetics of isothermal bainite formation was described by a nucleation-based transformation model. The complex competition and interactions between their transformation mechanisms during the isothermal holding at different temperature regimes are discussed. 相似文献

A medium-carbon steel was treated by the bainitic isothermal transformation plus quenching and partitioning (B-QP) process to obtain bainite/martensite/retained austenite multiphase microstructure, and its fatigue crack propagation (FCP) behavior was evaluated in contrast with BAT (bainite austempering) sample with fully bainite microstructure. Results show that B-QP sample exhibits a lower FCP rate and higher fatigue threshold ΔKth (12.6 MPa·m1/2). Moreover, the FCP path of B-QP sample displays a strongly tortuosity and more crack branching due to more filmy retained austenite (7.2%) and higher percentage of high angle misoriented boundaries (68%). The larger crack tortuosity and the secondary cracks as result of crack branching are primarily responsible for the lower FCP rate of B-QP sample. In addition, the FCP rate curve of B-QP sample shows a pronounced small plateauing at the near-threshold zone, which can be ascribed to the mechanical twinning that occurred in the filmy retained austenite. 相似文献

AbstractContinuous and discontinuous cooling tests were performed using a quench deformation dilatometer to develop a comprehensive understanding of the structural and kinetic aspects of the bainite transformation in low carbon TRIP (transformation induced plasticity) steels as a function of thermomechanical processing and composition. Deformation in the unrecrystallised austenite region refined the ferrite grain size and increased the ferrite and bainite transformation temperatures for cooling rates from 10 to 90 K s-1. The influence of niobium on the transformation kinetics was also investigated. Niobium increases the ferrite start transformation temperature, refines the ferrite microstructure, and stimulates the formation of acicular ferrite. The effect of the bainite isothermal transformation temperature on the final microstructure of steels with and without a small addition of niobium was studied. Niobium promotes the formation of stable retained austenite, which influences the mechanical properties of TRIP steels. The optimum mechanical properties were obtained after isothermal holding at 400°C in the niobium steel containing the maximum volume fraction of retained austenite with acicular ferrite as the predominant second phase. 相似文献

In the present study, investigations are focused on microstructural evolution and the resulting hardness during continuous cooling transformation (CCT) in a commercial vanadium microalloyed steel (30MSV6). Furthermore, the effects of cooling rate and austenite grain size (AGS) on CCT behavior of the steel have been studied by employing high-resolution dilatometry. Quantitative metallography accompanied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has efficiently confirmed the dilatometric measurements of transformation kinetics and austenite decomposition products. A semi-empirical model has been proposed for prediction of microstructural development during austenite decomposition of the steel and the resultant hardness. The model consists of 8 sub-models including ferrite transformation start temperature, ferrite growth, pearlite start temperature, pearlite growth, bainite start temperature, bainite growth, martensite start temperature and hardness. The transformed fractions of ferrite, pearlite and bainite have been described using semi-empirical Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov (JMAK) approach in combination with Scheil's equation of additivity. The JMAK rate parameter for bainite has been formulated using a diffusion-controlled model. Predictions of the proposed model were found to be in close agreement with the experimental measurements. 相似文献

AbstractThe impact of austenite deformation in the intercritical range on the rate of transformation in continuous cooling to ferrite, pearlite, bainite or martensite has been studied. The austenite associated with the rolled ferrite is much higher in carbon content, which does not influence the pearlite transformation but retards bainite and martensite. Furthermore, in comparison with rolling of stable austenite the increased strain hardening of the intercritically cooled austenite accelerates the formation of ferrite and pearlite (+ 10–30°C) and refines them but retards the bainite and martensite transformations (?20–40°C). At the intermediate cooling rate near 16 K s?1, these several influences combined with near doubling of the ferrite production give rise to the suppression of bainite formation and to maximum increased delay of martensite start. 相似文献
