Martensite Transformation and Its Control in DP,TRIP and TWIP Steels

Designing of alloy concept and process for DP,TRIP and TWIP steels stressing at martensite transformation are analyzed.For DP steel,austenite volume percent and its carbon content at different intercritical temperatures are calculated as well as the tensile strength of the steel,which meet well with the experimental result.The condition for dissolution of carbide is discussed by experiments and predicted by kinetic estimation.Several sample TRIP steels are prepared and their concentration profiles are calculated showing different diffusion characteristics of elements.Calculation also shows carbon enrichment is successful in this stage through the quick diffusion of carbon from ferrite to austenie.In order to maintain the austenite stability or to prevent precipitation of cementite,minimum cooling rate from the intercritical zone to over aging stage is obtained through kinetic simulation.Bainite transformation is estimated,which indicates the carbon rerichment from ferrite of bainite structure to austenite in this stage is also successful.Thermal HCP martensite transformation and the strain induced martensite transformation in TWIP steel is introduced.Relationship between transformation and mechanical properties in the steel is also mentioned.     

Microtexture Evolution and Grain Boundary Character Distribution of Interstitial-Free Steels With Moderate Levels of Cold Rolling Reductions

High-strength interstitial-free steel sheets have very good deep drawability when processed to have {111} recrystallization texture. The microtexture evolution and grain boundary character distribution of interstitial-free steels as a function of moderate levels of cold rolling reductions were investigated by the metallographic microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction technique. The results showed that there was a close relationship between microtexture and grain boundary character distribution for interstitial-free steel, especially the distribution and features of some specific types of coincident-site lattice boundaries. In addition, α-fiber texture was weakened to vanish while γ-fiber texture strengthened gradually as cold rolling reduction was increased from 20% to 75% for cold rolled and annealed samples. Accordingly, increasing the rolling reduction from 20% to 75% would lead to a significant increase in the proportion of Σ3 boundaries. Also, it was found that the microtexture of 20% cold rolled sample would induce a high frequency of Σ11 grain boundaries, but the microtexture of 75% cold rolled sample would produce more Σ7 and Σ17 grain boundaries. It was suggested that texture played a significant role in the formation of grain boundary character distribution.

Effect of Solute Drag and Precipitate Pinning on Austenite Grain Growth in Ti-Nb Microalloyed Steels

A metallurgical model concerning the co-effect of the Nb solute drag and the complex carbonitride precipitates pinning is proposed to predict the recrystallization austenite grain growth of low carbon Nb-containing microalloyed steels.The analysis,both predicted and experimental,reveals the precipitate pinning plays a dominate role in suppressing the austenite grain growth with less Nb solute drag effect in high temperature region whereas the Nb solute drag predominates in relatively low temperature region.A factor p is suggested to assess the effectiveness of drag and pinning.The pinning and the drag are more effective in restraining grain growth as p>0 and p<0,respectively.A low carbon Nb microalloyed steel and a kind of Ti-modified low carbon Nb steel by Ti substituting for part of Nb are employed to validate the modeling results.The theoretical calculations show a good agreement with experimental results.     

Surface and Grain Boundary Segregation in Fe‐3%Si Alloy

The surface segregation on the Fe‐3wt.%Si alloy was studied using X‐ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) with synchrotron radiation at 150 eV photon beam energy (Si 2p). A silicon oxide layer and also segregation of Si atoms in three clearly resolved phases occurred during heat treatment. A formation of silicides mainly with the Fe₃Si superstructure was observed. A silicon nitride layer was created by nitrogen ion implantation. The structure and atomic ordering in a surface layer of the samples (approx. 300 nm thick) was checked by Conversion Electron Mössbauer Spectroscopy (CEMS). Simultaneously emission Mössbauer spectroscopy was used for the investigation of the Si concentration and atomic ordering at grain boundaries.

On the Effect of Manganese on Grain Size Stability and Hardenability in Ultrafine-Grained Ferrite/Martensite Dual-Phase Steels

Two plain carbon steels with varying manganese content (0.87 wt pct and 1.63 wt pct) were refined to approximately 1 μm by large strain warm deformation and subsequently subjected to intercritical annealing to produce an ultrafine grained ferrite/martensite dual-phase steel. The influence of the Mn content on microstructure evolution is studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Mn distribution in ferrite and martensite is analyzed by high-resolution electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The experimental findings are supported by the calculated phase diagrams, equilibrium phase compositions, and the estimated diffusion distances using Thermo-Calc (Thermo-Calc Software, McMurray, PA) and Dictra (Thermo-Calc Software). Mn substantially enhances the grain size stability during intercritical annealing and the ability of austenite to undergo martensitic phase transformation. The first observation is explained in terms of the alteration of the phase transformation temperatures and the grain boundary mobility, while the second is a result of the Mn enrichment in cementite during large strain warm deformation, which is inherited by the newly formed austenite and increases its hardenability. The latter is the main reason why the ultrafine-grained material exhibits a hardenability that is comparable with the hardenability of the coarse-grained reference material.

On the Relationship between Mechanical Properties and Mechanisms of Plastic Deformation in Metastable Austenitic Steels

The requirements of the automotive industry for materials exhibiting increased structural performances are continuously increasing. These materials must remain ductile during the forming operations while also exhibiting improved strength and energy absorption capacities. New highly alloyed steel grades have been studied for a few years now, due to their exceptional mechanical properties resulting from interactions between dislocation plasticity, transformation plasticity and mechanical twinning. This study deals with the mechanical properties of steel grades presenting high manganese compositions. At room temperature, several phase transformations (γ→α', γ→? and ?→α′) were found to occur when the samples are deformed. The effect of different annealing conditions on the mechanical properties and the transformation sequence is analysed. The evolution of the work‐hardening of the samples is interpreted in connection with the kinetics of the phase transformations.
