Formation of Edge Crack in 1.4%Si Non-oriented Electrical Steel during Hot Rolling简

Microstructure evolution, dynamic recrystallization, high temperature oxidation and hot ductility of 1.4 % Si non-oriented electrical steel sheets were investigated to reduce edge cracking. The causes of cracking were found to be coarse as-cast microstructure, grain boundary oxidation in reheating furnace, lack of dynamic recrystallization during hot rolling and increase of temperature, resulting in reduced hot ductility in strip edge region. Countermeas- ures against the edge crack are proposed accordingly. Lowering reheating temperature and reducing holding time re- duced oxidation and decarburization. Hot charging temperature was increased to decrease reheating temperature. And using an edger can refine microstructure in strip edge region. Finally, edge heater can be added to increase edge re- gion formability by inducing dynamic reerystallization and ductility by increasing temperature.     

Characterizing the Structure Evolution of Tertiary Scale during Simulated Coiling by EBSD简

An oxide scale formed at 900 ℃ for 60 s in dry air was subjected to the simulated coiling processed with different coiling temperatures. The phase transformation behavior, especially the orientation distribution of the oxide scale, was analyzed using electron backseattered diffraction （EBSD） technique. When cooling from the coiling tem- perature of 650 ℃, the scale consists of FeaO4 layer, FeO layer and FeaO4 seam. The FeaO4 precipitates are ob served in the FeO grains of the scale formed with the coiling temperature of 550 and 450 ℃. With the cofling temperature of 350 ℃, the decomposition of FeO is suppressed due to the low temperature. The Fe3O4 grains, which are decomposed from FeO, has the same orientation as the parent FeO grains. Moreover, the FeO grains, of which the growth direction is parallel to 〈001〉, is easier to decompose into Fe3O4 than the grains with other orientations.     

Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of X100 Pipeline Steel Strip简

Dynamic CCT （continuous cooling transformation） curves and effects of microstructures and M/A islands of X100 hot rolled strip on mechanical properties were studied by means of a thermal simulator, a scanning electron mi- croscope （SEM）, a transmission electron microscope （TEM）, a digital micro-hardness tester and Image-Pro Plus analysis software. The results show that high contents of C and Mo can make transformation lines of acicular ferrite and bain- ite shift rightward. High Mo tested strip has higher strength and micro-hardness and lower toughness than the other one because lath bainite appears instead of quasi-polygonal ferrite. Tested strip with granular bainite, lath bainite and M/A islands has better mechanical properties and in the microstructures lath bainite content is around 36.50% and M/A islands are fine and disperse in the matrix.     

Hot Deformation Behavior of Ni3Al-based Alloy MX246A简

The hot deformation behavior of homogenized Nia Al-based alloy MX246A has been characterized on the basis of its flow stress variation obtained by isothermal constant true strain rate compression testing on the MTS 810 machine in the temperature range of 1 150--1225 ℃ and strain rate range of 0. 001-0.1 s-1. Microstructural obser- vation revealed striped secondary γ＇ phase which was vertical to compression axis, and precipitation of fine ternary γ＂ phase. The amount of striped secondary γ＇ phase reduced and that of fine ternary γ＇ phase increased with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate. The material exhibited peak stress followed by flow softening, but no obvious steady-state flow behavior. Microstructural investigations have shown no dynamic recrystallization happened. TEM studies indicated that the flow softening was controUed by dynamic recovery mechanism.

Multi-class Classification Methods of Enhanced LS-TWSVM for Strip Steel Surface Defects简

Considering strip steel surface defect samples, a multi-class classification method was proposed based on enhanced least squares twin support vector machines （ELS-TWSVMs） and binary tree. Firstly, pruning region samples center method with adjustable pruning scale was used to prune data samples. This method could reduce classifierr s training time and testing time. Secondly, ELS-TWSVM was proposed to classify the data samples. By introducing error variable contribution parameter and weight parameter, ELS-TWSVM could restrain the impact of noise sam- ples and have better classification accuracy. Finally, multi-class classification algorithms of ELS-TWSVM were pro- posed by combining ELS-TWSVM and complete binary tree. Some experiments were made on two-dimensional data- sets and strip steel surface defect datasets. The experiments showed that the multi-class classification methods of ELS-TWSVM had higher classification speed and accuracy for the datasets with large-scale, unbalanced and noise samples.     

Dynamic and Static Recrystallization Behaviour of Coarse-grained Austenite in a Nb-V-Ti Microalloyed Steel简

The dynamic recrystallization （DRX） and static recrystallization （SRX） behaviour of coarse-grained aus- tenite in a Nb-V-Ti microalloyed steel were studied by using a Gleeble thermomechanical simulator. Continuous and interrupted compression tests of coarse-grained austenite were performed in the temperature range of 1000-1 150 ℃ at a strain rate of 0. 1- 5 s 1. The peak and critical strains for the onset of DRX were identified with strain hardening rate analysis, and the ratio of critical strain to peak strain was found to be consistent with the one reported for fine- grained austenite. An equation of the time for 50% softening was proposed by considering the activation energy of steel without microalloying elements and the solute drag effect of microalloying elements. Strain-induced precipitation may not take place at the deformation temperature above 1000 ℃, which indicates that SRX of coarse-grained aus- tenite is mainly retarded by coarse grain size and Nb in solution during rough rolling.

The Effect of Pre-Deformation at Elevated Temperatures on the Microstructure and Hardness of Boron Steel 22MnB5

To investigate the effects of the pre-deformation and deformation temperature on the microstructure and hardness of boron steel 22MnB5,isothermal tensile tests were carried out on the Gleeble 3800 system when the temperatures are 700℃,750℃,800℃,respectively.Three specimens were employed to obtain different deformation levels at each temperature.The cooling rate before and after deformation was 30℃/s.Then the microstructures of the specimens were observed and the harness of each specimen was measured.The results show the martensitic fraction decreases and the ferrite fraction increases with decreasing the deformation temperature or increasing the deformation level.The specimens deformed at higher temperature have greater hardness.The hot plastic deformation of austenite shortens the incubation period of ferrite transformation and accelerates the transformation rate.In addition,the isothermally holding time is longer in the case of a larger deformation amount,more austenite will transform to ferrite.Especially,the specimen deformed at 700℃ and with large deformation has almost full massive ferrite microstructure with larger size.     

Determination of Thermal and Mechanical Material Properties of Ultra‐High Strength Steels for Hot Stamping

Direct and indirect hot stamping presently constitutes one of the most innovative forming technologies in the automotive industry through the combination of forming and hardening in one process step or line. Thus, structural components with strength up to 1600 MPa can be accomplished with the quench hardenable ultra‐high strength steel 22MnB5. With respect to the numerical investigation of the feasibility of different parts the knowledge of various thermal and mechanical material characteristics determined under process relevant conditions are required. Within the scope of this paper different experimental methods will be introduced for the determination of material properties according to the typical time‐temperature characteristics of the hot stamping process, as well as the modelling of it as input data for the FE analysis.     

A Numerical and Experimental Investigation into Hot Stamping of Boron Alloyed Heat Treated Steels

Hot stamping of steel sheets using water or nitrogen cooling media was studied on a laboratory scale. Sheets of grade 22MnB5 boron steels in three different thicknesses were investigated and the results of experimental hot stamping tests were considered. Microstructural analysis, linear and surface hardness profiling as well as tensile tests of formed samples were carried out. After hot stamping, mostly fully martensitic microstructures, which yield ultra high strength levels, were produced. It is concluded that die cooling media, i.e., water or nitrogen, have a significant effect on material properties after hot stamping. Using liquid nitrogen as coolant in the punch instead of water increases yield strength by 50 to 65MPa. Moreover, the evolution of the temperature and force during the hot stamping process was simulated by using a coupled thermomechanical FEM program. The results of numerical simulation and experimental results are in good agreement.     

The Influence of Precooling on Liquid Metal Embrittlement and Microstructure Properties of Galvanized 22MnB5 Tubes

To address the issue of liquid metal embrittlement (LME) susceptibility in galvanized 22MnB5 steel during the hot stamping process, the material's performance is affected. This study proposes a method combining precooling and tube hydroforging to produce galvanized tubular hot stamping parts. The primary workflow comprises four distinct stages: the heating phase, thermal retention phase, precooling phase, and the tube hydroforging phase. Notably, the precooling stage employs two distinct approaches: air precooling and boiling water precooling. The composition and morphology of the zinc coating and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the 22MnB5 steel are investigated using two precooling methods at different hydroforging temperatures. The results show that when the initial hydroforging temperature is below 800 °C, the precooling combined with the tube hydroforging process eliminates LME. With increasing precooling time, the oxidation reaction forms ZnO and Fe₂O₃ on the coating. By comparing the composition, morphology, and mechanical properties of the coatings at hydroforging temperatures of 800 °C and 500 °C, it is concluded that the boiling water precooling aligns more effectively with the requirements of industrial production, with the optimal forming temperature being within the range of 750–800 °C.

Investigation on the Failure Mechanism of DP590-22MnB5 (Quenched) and DP590-DP590 Spot-Welding Joints

The failure mechanism of DP590-22MnB5(quenched) and DP590-DP590 spot-welding joints is studied through lap-shearing experiments,metallographic observation and three-dimensional finite element simulation.Both joints cracked on the DP590 steel,but the tensile shear strength of the DP590-22MnB5(quenched) joint is greater than that of the DP590-DP590 joint.A finite element model for the lap-shearing experiment is established according to the mechanical properties of DP590 and 22MnB5(quenched) steels and the metallographic analysis of welding spots.The simulation results show that the difference in the axis rotation of the two welding spots causes different distributions of stress and strain,which shifts shear loading condition to opening loading condition.Due to larger axis rotation angle of the DP590-DP590 joint,the stress concentration occurs at the middle of the nugget circumference,and it results in lower tensile shear strength of the DP590-DP590 joint.     

Macro- and Microstructure Evolution of 5CrNiMo Steel Ingots during Electroslag Remelting Process

A comprehensive mathematical model was established and used to simulate the macro and microstructure evolution during the production process of 5CrNiMo steel ingot by electroslag remelting （ESR） method. Along the ingot height, the macrostructure distribution characteristics changed from vertical, fine columnar grains to tilted, coarse columnar grains, and this transformation process occurred at the very beginning of ESR. In the cross section of the ingot, there were three grain morphology regions and two grain type transition regions from the outside to the center of the ingot. These regions were the fine columnar grain region, columnar competitive growth transition re gion, coarse columnar grain region, columnar to equiaxed grain transition （CET） region, and coarse equiaxed grain region. The influence of the remelting rate on the macrostructure and mlcrostructure was investigated using a series of experiments and simulations. The results showed that a low remelting rate could produce a small grain growth angle （GGA） ; the average secondary dendrite arm spacing （SDAS） firstly decreased and then increased as the remelting rate increased. An excessively high or low remelting rate can increase the GGA and average SDAS in ingots. Thus, the remelting rate should be controlled within a suitable range to reduce composition microsegregation and microshrinkage in the ingot to produce an ESR ingot with satisfactory hot forging performance.
