Recrystallization Modelling of Hot Deformed SiMn TRIP Steel

By means of hot compression single and double hit experiments, the kinetics of dynamic and static recrystallization in hotrolled SiMn TRIP steel was studied, and the emphasis was put on the influence of high silicon content. The results show that the calculated parameters are consistent with the experimental ones, and addition of silicon retards both dynamic and static recrystallization as well as increases the flow stress of austenite, and the nonrecrystallization zone can be enlarged by increasing the silicon contents.     

Breakdown Behavior of Eutectic Carbide in High speed Steel during Hot Compression

 The evolution of eutectic carbide in as-cast M2 high-speed steel on different deforming conditions was investigated. Initially, specimens were deformed by hot compression in the range of 1223 to 1398K at strain rates of 0.01 to 1.0s-1. In a series of continuous deformation tests the flow stress curves were determined for the downstream process simulation. Subsequently, metallographic examination was carried out before and after deformed specimens for carbides analysis. As-cast microstructure is characterized as a spherical matrix of austenite and a continuous network of rodlike or irregular eutectic carbide, whereas deformed microstructure has broken carbide network and smaller granular products on all experimental conditions. It suggests that eutectic carbides fracture to particles during hot deformation by thermomechanical disintegration, while diffusion-controlled phase transformation was not remarkable. Combination with numerical simulation, the relationship between breakdown ratio of carbide network and deforming parameters were concluded. Strain was the most important one to shatter eutectic carbides and disperse products. Furthermore, critical strain values were obtained, beyond which carbide network disappeared, and fractured carbides kept a stable profile and deformed with matrix coordinately. A higher temperature or lower strain rate resulted in a lower critical strain.

Hot Deformation Behavior and Processing Map of Spray Formed M3∶ 2 High Speed Steel

Hot deformation behavior of a new type of M3∶ 2 high speed steel with niobium addition made by spray forming was investigated based on compression tests in the temperature range of 950-1 150 ℃ and strain rate of 0. 001-10 s~(-1). A comprehensive constitutive equation was obtained,which could be used to predict the flow stress at different strains. Processing map was developed on the basis of the flow stress data using the principles of dynamic material model. The results showed that the flow curves were in fair agreement with the dynamic recrystallization model. The flow stresses,which were calculated by the comprehensive constitutive equation,agreed well with the test data at low strain rates( ≤1 s~(-1)). The material constant( α),stress exponent( n) and the hot deformation activation energy( Q_(HW)) of the new steel were 0. 006 15 MPa~(-1),4. 81 and 546 kJ·mol~(-1),respectively. Analysis of the processing map with an observation of microstructures revealed that hot working processes of the steel could be carried out safely in the domain( T = 1 050-1 150 ℃,ε = 0. 01- 0. 1 s~(-1))with about 33% peak efficiency of power dissipation( η). Cracks was expected in two domains at either lower temperatures( 1 000 ℃) or low strain rates( 0. 001 s~(-1)) with different cracking mechanisms. Flow localization occurred when the strain rates exceeded 1 s~(-1) at all testing temperatures.
