Q&P工艺研究现状

 介绍一种马氏体钢淬火＋分配（Quenching and Partitioning）的热处理工艺即钢经奥氏体化后淬火到Ms-Mf间的某一温度形成一定量的马氏体和未转变奥氏体,然后在这个温度或高于此温度保温,使马氏体中的碳扩散至未转变奥氏体使之稳定化,最后淬火至室温得到由马氏体和残余奥氏体组成的混合组织,可以改善钢的性能。本文就该工艺的提出、热力学、动力学、试验参数对残余奥氏体的量和形态的影响以及力学性能等方面进行概述。

通过等温形变研究了形变参数(形变温度、形变速率、形变量)对高强度汽车钢WHT1300HF的微观组织转变和形貌的影响规律。研究结果表明:增加奥氏体等温形变量,有利于铁素体的缺陷形核,促进了形变奥氏体向铁素体转变;奥氏体的形变强化导致马氏体相变阻力增大,马氏体相变开始温度(Ms)下降,细小晶粒数量和小角度晶界数量增多;增加奥氏体等温形变(40%)速率能同时促进马氏体和铁素体相变,但马氏体体积分数和小角度晶界数量减少,细小晶粒数量略有提高;降低等温形变温度加剧奥氏体的形变强化,导致Ms温度下降,马氏体体积分数、小角度晶界比例减少,细小晶粒数量增多,铁素体含量明显增加。     

奥氏体化时间对DP780冷轧双相钢组织和性能的影响

用连续退火模拟机研究了850℃奥氏体化时间(30～100 s)对1 mm厚DP780冷轧双相钢板(%:0.15C、1.80Mn、0.08Ti、0.04Al)组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明,当奥氏体化温度为850℃,以24℃/s冷却至460℃停留12 s,再以7℃/s冷却至室温的情况下,通过改变奥氏体化时间,可改变钢中马氏体含量和钢的抗拉强度。当奥氏体化时间较短时,马氏体呈带状连续分布,当奥氏体化时间较长时,马氏体带状连续性减弱;当奥氏体化时间在30、45、100 s时,该双相钢马氏体含量分别为13.7%、21.6%和15.6%,抗拉强度分别为800、840、805MPa。     

贝氏体等温温度对超高强冷轧TRIP钢组织性能的影响

将C-Si-Mn钢加热至800℃保温120 s后,分别快速冷却至350～410℃保温600 s以模拟贝氏体等温转变工艺。通过扫描电镜(SEM)和拉伸测试的方法研究了贝氏体等温温度对超高强相变诱导塑性钢(TRIP钢)微观组织和力学性能的影响规律。结果表明,冷轧TRIP钢的微观组织由铁素体、贝氏体、马氏体和残余奥氏体组成;贝氏体和残余奥氏体形成于等温转变阶段,而马氏体形成于等温后的终冷阶段。随着贝氏体等温温度增加,固溶C原子扩散系数提高,促进残余奥氏体中碳化物的析出。因此,奥氏体中的平均固溶C含量降低,使得TRIP钢残余奥氏体分数降低,马氏体体积分数增加。贝氏体等温温度由350℃增加至410℃时,TRIP钢屈服强度由720 MPa降低至573 MPa,抗拉强度由1 195 MPa提高至1 312 MPa,伸长率A_(80)由17.8%降低至12.5%。贝氏体等温温度为350℃时,冷轧TRIP钢具有优良的综合力学性能,强塑积达到21 270 MPa·%。

Austenite ferromagnetism and martensite morphology

The Curie temperature of the austenite, the martensite-start temperature, and martensite morphology have been determined in a series of nil-carbon Fe?Ni and Fe?Ni?Co alloys. For these alloys, austenite ferromagnetism aboveM _s is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for the formation of lenticular rather than packet martensite. In contrast to Fe?Ni alloys where lenticular martensite only forms below ≈O°C, some of the Fe?Ni?Co alloys transform to this structure at temperatures up to ≈200°C. The results support the hypothesis that the resistance of austenite to plastic deformation affects the habit plane and thus morphology of the martensite which forms.     

The Investigation for Development on Precipitation Phases in 25Co15Ni11Cr2MoE Steel during Tempering

The evolution law of precipitated alloy carbides and reverted austenite in a high Co-Ni secondary hardening ultra-high strength 25Co15Ni11Cr2MoE steel tempered at 300??~ 660?? after quenched has been studied by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X ray diffraction (XRD) in this paper. The results show that the precipitate order of alloy carbides with the increasing of tempering temperature from 300?? to 600?? in experimental steel is: dispersed ??-carbides?? lamellar alloy cementites?? dispersed M2C carbides?? coarse M23C6 carbides. When the experimental steel tempering at 495??, fine M2C carbides precipitated on the lath martensite matrix. Meanwhile, coarse lamellar alloy cementites that precipitated during the early tempering stage has all dissolved, and reverted austenite precipitated at the boundaries of lath martensite and grows up into thin-film sharp along the lath boundaries. When the tempering temperature rose to 530??, the content of reverted austenite continues to increase, but the morphology of reverted austenite changed from thin-film to strip or block. When the tempering temperature rose to 530??, the content of reverted austenite in the steel reaches maximum value.     

Development of Multiphase Microstructure with Bainite, Martensite, and Retained Austenite in a Co-Containing Steel Through Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) Treatment

The quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment of steel aims to produce a higher fraction of retained austenite by carbon partitioning from supersaturated martensite. Q&P studies done so far, relies on the basic concept of suppression of carbide formation by the addition of Si and/or Al. In the present study Q&P treatment is performed on a steel containing 0.32 C, 1.78 Mn, 0.64 Si, 1.75 Al, and 1.20 Co (all wt pct). A combination of 0.64 Si and 1.75 Al is chosen to suppress the carbide precipitation and therefore, to achieve carbon partitioning after quenching. Addition of Co along with Al is expected to accelerate the bainite transformation during Q&P treatment by increasing the driving force for transformation. The final aim is to develop a multiphase microstructure containing bainite, martensite, and the retained austenite and to study the effect of processing parameters (especially, quenching temperature and homogenization time) on the fraction and stability of retained austenite. A higher fraction of retained austenite (~13 pct) has indeed been achieved by Q&P treatment, compared to that obtained after direct-quenching (2.7 pct) or isothermal bainitic transformation (9.7 pct). Carbon partitioning during martensitic and bainitic transformations increased the stability of retained austenite.     

1Cr12Ni3Mo2VN耐热钢的回火工艺

利用金相显微镜、扫描电镜和透射电镜等研究了1Cr12Ni3Mo2VN耐热钢的回火工艺,结果指出试验钢产生第一类回火脆性的主要原因是马氏体板条界存在聚集长大的Fe_3C及M_3C脆性相,导致冲击韧性显著下降。Mo_2C与基体处于共格状态,使基体周围晶格产生很大的静畸变是次要原因;产生第二类回火脆性的原因,一是由于碳化物M_(23)C_6沿原奥氏体晶界和马氏体板条界迅速聚集并粗化,二是板条间残余奥氏体膜因碳贫化而发生热失稳分解。结合技术协议要求,为了有利于组织的稳定性,本试验钢的最佳回火工艺为580℃×2h空冷。     

Banded Microstructure Formation and Its Effect on the Performance of 06Ni9 Steel

Focusing on the banded microstructure formed during the production of 06Ni9 steels for cryo-LNG,this paper examines its formation,distribution of alloying elements,structure,hardness,and low-temperature property.The results show that the banded microstructure formed after hot-rolling and cooling of the steel binct in which the element segregation occurred during solidification.The phase change during heat treatment also can cause the formation of the banded microstructure of 06Ni9 steel.The white bands are mainly composed of ferrite and reversed austenite,and the black bands are mainly composed of reversed austenite and a certain amount of ferrite.Element segregation and formation of more carbide caused some black regions to appear.Grain refinement of 06Ni9steel is beneficial to the formation of reversed austenite,the redistribution of alloying elements,improving the stability of austenite and the low-temperature toughness of steel.This steel easily undergoes nickel segregation;thus,undergoing a secondary quenching and tempering process is recommended.The refinement of martensite quenching above A c3,the martensite that is rich in nickel and carbon,residual austenite and a few little of ferrite after secondary quenching lower than A c3 are beneficial to the formation of high stability austenite.Thus,this can meet the strength and toughness requirement of the low temperature 06Ni9 steel.     

Magnetic investigation of martensite ⇌ austenite transformations in Fe-Ni-Co alloys

The martensite ⇌ austenite transformations were investigated in Fe-Ni-Co alloys containing about 65 wt pct Fe and up to 15 wt pct Co. A change in morphology of martensite from plate-like to lath-type occurred with increasing cobalt content; this change in morphology correlates with the disappearance of the Invar anomaly in the austenite. The martensite-to-austenite reverse transformation differed depending on martensite morphology. Reversion of plate-like martensite was found to occur by simple disintegration of the martensite platelets. Reverse austenite formed from lath-type martensite was not retained when quenched from much aboveA _s, with microcracks forming during theM→γ→M transformation.

In Situ Thermo-magnetic Investigation of the Austenitic Phase During Tempering of a 13Cr6Ni2Mo Supermartensitic Stainless Steel

The formation of austenite during tempering of a 13Cr6Ni2Mo supermartensitic stainless steel (X2CrNiMoV13-5-2) was investigated using an in situ thermo-magnetic technique to establish the kinetics of the martensite to austenite transformation and the stability of austenite. The austenite fraction was obtained from in situ magnetization measurements. It was found that during heating to the tempering temperature 1 to 2 vol pct of austenite, retained during quenching after the austenitization treatment, decomposed between 623 K and 753 K (350 °C and 480 °C). The activation energy for martensite to austenite transformation was found by JMAK-fitting to be 233 kJ/mol. This value is similar to the activation energy for Ni and Mn diffusion in iron and supports the assumption that partitioning of Ni and Mn to austenite are mainly rate determining for the austenite formation during tempering. This also indicates that the stability of austenite during cooling after tempering depends on these elements. With increasing tempering temperature the thermal stability of austenite is decreasing due to the lower concentrations of austenite-stabilizing elements in the increased fraction of austenite. After cooling from the tempering temperature the retained austenite was further partially decomposed during holding at room temperature. This appears to be related to previous martensite formation during cooling.     

Microstructural evolution during laser cladding of M2 high-speed steel

Laser cladding of gas-atomized M2 high-speed steel on the mild steel substrate was performed using scan rates of 1 to 10 mm/s, scan line spacings of 0.1 to 0.5 mm, and powder feed rates of 1 to 10 g/min, for a given laser power of 400 W. This article presents a detailed study of the microstructural evolution during laser cladding. The effect of scan rate, scan line spacing, and powder feed rate on cooling rate can be described in terms of the cladding-layer thickness, i.e., the thinner the layer, the higher the cooling rate. The degree of metastability in the laser-clad microstructure can be understood in terms of the lattice parameter of the bcc phase. The lattice parameter of the bcc phase increased with increasing layer thickness and reached a maximum value at a thickness of 0.3 mm. Correspondingly, the microstructure varied from a cellular or dendritic structure of δ ferrite and austenite to a mixture of martensite and retained austenite. However, further increasing the layer thickness led to a decrease of both the lattice parameters of the bcc phase and the proportion of retained austenite in the martensite. This was accompanied by an increase of the amount of carbide at the prior austenitic grain boundaries and a decrease of the carbon content in the martensite and retained austenite.     

Microstructure Evolution and Precipitation Behavior of 0Cr16Ni5Mo Martensitic Stainless Steel during Tempering Process

The microstructure,morphology of precipitates and retained austenite and the volume fraction of retained austenite in 0Cr16Ni5 Mo stainless steel during the tempering process were analyzed using optical microscope(OM),transmission electron microscope(TEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning transmission electron microscope(STEM).The results show that the microstructure of the tempered steel is mainly composed of tempered martensite,retained austenite,and delta ferrite.In the case of samples tempered from 500 to 700 ℃,the precipitates are mainly M_(23)C_6,which precipitate along the lath martensite boundaries.The precipitate content increases with the tempering temperature.During the tempering process,the content of retained austenite initially increases and then decreases,the maximum content of retained austenite being 29 vol.% upon tempering at 600 ℃.TEM analysis of the tested steel reveals two morphology types of retained austenite.One is thin film-like retained austenite that exists along the martensite lath boundary.The other is blocky austenite located on packet at the boundary and the original austenite grain boundary.To further understand the stability of reversed austenite,the Ni content in reversed austenite was measured using STEM.Results show a significant difference in nickel concentrations between reversed austenite and martensite.
