Characterization and Prediction of Flow Behavior in High-Manganese Twinning Induced Plasticity Steels: Part I. Mechanism Maps and Work-Hardening Behavior

Thermodynamic stacking fault energy (SFE) maps were developed using the subregular solution model for the Fe-Mn-Al-C system. These maps were used to explain the variations in the work-hardening behavior of high-manganese steels, both through experiments and by comparison with the published data. The suppression of the transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) mechanism, the similarity between the shape of the work-hardening rate diagrams for the produced iso-SFE materials, and an earlier onset of stage C of work hardening by decreasing SFE were shown to be efficiently predictable by the given mechanism maps. To overcome the limitations arising from studying the deformation response of high-manganese steels by SFE values alone, for example, the different work-hardening rate of iso-SFE materials, an empirical criterion for the occurrence of short-range ordering (SRO) and the consequently enhanced work-hardening, was proposed. The calculated values based on this criterion were superimposed on the thermodynamics-based mechanism maps to establish a more accurate basis for material design in high-manganese iron-based systems. Finally, the given methodology is able to clarify the work-hardening behavior of high-manganese twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steels across an extensive range of chemical compositions.     

Linear Contraction Behavior of Low-Carbon,Low-Alloy Steels During and After Solidification Using Real-Time Measurements

A technique for measuring the linear contraction during and after solidification of low-alloy steel was developed and used for examination of two commercial low-carbon and low-alloy steel grades. The effects of several experimental parameters on the contraction were studied. The solidification contraction behavior was described using the concept of rigidity in a solidifying alloy, evolution of the solid fraction, and the microstructure development during solidification. A correlation between the linear contraction properties in the solidification range and the hot crack susceptibility was proposed and used for the estimation of hot cracking susceptibility for two studied alloys and verified with the real casting practice. The technique allows estimation of the contraction coefficient of commercial steels in a wide range of temperatures and could be helpful for computer simulation and process optimization during continuous casting.     

Mechanical Properties and Corrosion–Abrasion Wear Behavior of Low-Alloy MnSiCrB Cast Steels Containing Cu

Two medium carbon low-alloy MnSiCrB cast steels containing different Cu contents (0.01 wt pct and 0.62 wt pct) were designed, and the effect of Cu on the mechanical properties and corrosion–abrasion wear behavior of the cast steels was studied. The results showed that the low-alloy MnSiCrB cast steels obtained excellent hardenability by a cheap alloying scheme. The microstructure of the MnSiCrB cast steels after water quenching from 1123 K (850 °C) consists of lath martensite and retained austenite. After tempering at 503 K (230 °C), carbides precipitated, and the hardness of the cast steels reached 51 to 52 HRC. The addition of Cu was detrimental to the ductility and impact toughness but was beneficial to the wear resistance in a corrosion–abrasion wear test. The MnSiCrB cast steel with Cu by the simple alloying scheme and heat treatment has the advantages of being high performance, low cost, and environmentally friendly. It is a potential, advanced wear-resistant cast steel for corrosion–abrasion wear conditions.

On Peritectic Reactions and Transformations in Low-Alloy Steels

Differential thermal analysis (DTA) experiments on low-alloy steels with varying C, Si, Cr, and Mo contents indicated an increase in the difference between the liquidus and peritectic temperatures during solidification with the decrease in C and increase in Mo contents. In a number of the quenched samples, massive transformations of ferrite to austenite were observed. Electron microprobe analysis of the diffusion across a massive transformation front, along with the high growth rates estimated, gives strong reason to believe that these growths are uncontrolled by diffusion. As ferrite transforms to austenite during the peritectic reaction, shrinkage in volume occurs, causing elastic straining at the interface separating the two phases. It was shown through thermodynamic analysis of the equilibrium at the triple point that the increase in energy of the two phases due to this strain can result in undercooling below the equilibrium peritectic temperature and decreases in the equilibrium peritectic concentrations.     

Low-Temperature Toughening Mechanism in Thermomechanically Processed High-Strength Low-Alloy Steels

High-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels were fabricated by varying thermomechanical processing conditions such as rolling and cooling conditions in the intercritical region, and the low-temperature toughening mechanism was investigated in terms of microstructure and the associated grain boundary characteristics. The steels acceleratedly cooled to relatively higher temperature had lower tensile strength than those acceleratedly cooled to room temperature due to the increased volume fraction of granular bainite or polygonal ferrite (PF) irrespective of rolling in the intercritical region, while the yield strength was dependent on intercritical rolling, and start and finish cooling temperatures, which affected the formation of PF and low-temperature transformation phases. The steel rolled in the intercritical region and cooled to 673 K (400 °C) provided the best combination of high yield strength and excellent low-temperature toughness because of the presence of fine PF and appropriate mixture of various low-temperature transformation phases such as granular bainite, degenerate upper bainite (DUB), lower bainite (LB), and lath martensite (LM). Despite the high yield strength, the improvement of low-temperature toughness could be explained by the reduction of overall effective grain size based on the electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis data, leading to the decrease in ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT).

Influence of Warm Tempforming on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties in an Ultrahigh-Strength Medium-Carbon Low-Alloy Steel

A 0.4 pct C-2 pct Si-1 pct Cr-1 pct Mo steel was quenched and tempered at 773 K (500 °C) and deformed by multi-pass caliber rolling (i.e., warm tempforming). The microstructures and the mechanical properties of the warm tempformed steels were investigated as a function of the rolling reduction. At rolling reductions of more than 28 pct, not only extension of the martensite blocks and/or the packets in the rolling direction (RD) but also a grain subdivision became more significant, and an ultrafine elongated grain (UFEG) structure with a strong ??110??//RD fiber deformation texture was formed after 78 pct rolling. The tensile deformation behavior became significantly anisotropic in response to the evolution of UFEG structure. The longitudinal yield strength (??_y) of the quenched and tempered sample increased from 1480 to 1860 MPa through the 78 pct rolling, while the transverse ??_y leveled off at around 1600 MPa up to 28 pct rolling. The transverse true fracture stress was also markedly degraded in contrast to the longitudinal one. Charpy impact properties were enhanced at a rolling reduction of 52 pct or more. The 52 pct-rolled sample underwent a ductile-to-brittle transition in the temperature range from 333 K to 213 K (60 °C to ?60 °C), while the 78 pct-rolled sample showed an inverse temperature dependence of the impact toughness because of brittle delamination. The tensile and Charpy impact properties are discussed in association with the microstructural evolution.

Modeling of Hot Deformation Behavior of 55SiMnMo Medium-Carbon Steel

The hot deformation behavior of 55SiMnMo steel was studied by hot isothermal compression tests at 950 — 1 100 °C and strain rates of 0.01 — 10s^?1 using a Gleeble 3500 thermal simulation machine. Experimental results show that the peak stress increases with decreasing deformation temperature and increasing strain rate. When the strain rate

= 0.01s^?1, or when

= 0.1s^?1 and the deformation temperature T ≥ 1000 °C, the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of 55SiMnMo steel occurs. The hot flow stress constitutive equation, peak strain equation, as well as critical stress and strain for DRX initiation are obtained based on the experimental data. A comparison between the theoretical and experimental results verifies the reliability of the flow stress equation.
