Influence of Precipitates Size and Distribution on Room Temperature Mechanical Properties and Accelerated Creep of X20CrMoV121

The effect of microstructure on creep resistance of the low carbon chromium steel X20CrMoV121 after 100‐hours of static‐load test at a temperature of 580 °C and constant stress of 170 MPa was investigated. The specimens for the experiments were extracted from steam pipes of a steam power plant and heat treated. The effect of isothermal annealing on the microstructure and hardness as well as the kinetics of the precipitation of the carbide particles were determined.     

Dependence of Accelerated Creep Rate at 580 °C and Room Temperature Yield Stress for Two Creep Resistant Steels

Two creep resistant steels, P91 and X20, were tempered for 17520 h at 650 °C or 8760 h at 750 °C to study the growth and redistribution of carbide precipitates in martensite. On specimens annealed for a different time, yield stress at room temperature and accelerated creep rate at 580 °C were determined. With increasing yield stress in the range from 350 to 650 MPa the accelerated creep rate decreased continuously by about 2 orders of magnitude from 8·10^?7 s^?1 to 5·10^?9 s^?1. For equal yield stress, the creep rate was slightly lower for the steel P91 than for the steel X20.     

铈镧混合稀土对AZ91D压铸镁合金显微组织和蠕变性能的影响

研究了不同含量Ce/La(x=0,0.1,0.5,1.0)对AZ91D镁合金显微组织及蠕变性能的影响。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、金相显微镜(OM)、扫描电镜(SEM)及能谱分析(EDX)观察与分析表明,压铸AZ91D镁合金中添加Ce/La后,除了α-Mg,β-Mg17Al12相之外,还生成了新的稀土化合物Al11RE3(RE=Ce/La)化合物,并且细化了合金显微组织、提高了合金室温和高温力学性能。生成的Al11RE3(RE=Ce/La)高温热稳定相使AZ91D+xCe/La(x=0,0.1,0.5,1.0)合金在150℃,50MPa下的蠕变抗力优于AZ91D镁合金,1%Ce/La的合金与AZ91D相比,蠕变延伸率低了0.2%,最小蠕变速率从2.30×10-8s-1降低到2.02×10-8s-1。蠕变试样的微观组织结构分析表明:AZ91D合金的蠕变机制主要以晶界滑移方式为主,Al11RE3(RE=Ce/La)热稳定相在晶界处延缓和阻碍了晶界断裂的过程。

热处理工艺对12Cr2Mo1R钢的组织和性能影响

探讨了不同热处理工艺对12Cr2Mo1R耐热钢板性能和组织的影响,结果表明：随正火温度的升高贝氏体增加,强度提高,975℃正火后,显微组织为100%贝氏体和（Fe,Cr）3C型渗碳体;随回火温度的提高及回火时间的延长,强度降低,600℃回火时析出的纳米强化相不断长大成针状,同时,（Fe,Cr）3C型渗碳体不断球化,逐渐向（Fe,Cr）7C3型转化;正火处理后再经650℃回火处理,负蠕变现象消失。生产中12Cr2Mo1R钢宜采用正火+回火处理,正火温度920～950℃,保温时间1.5～3.0 min/mm;回火温度720～750℃,保温时间2.0～4.0 min/mm。     

Influence of Manganese and Nickel on the α´ Martensite Transformation Temperatures of High Alloyed Cr‐Mn‐Ni Steels

The martensite start temperature (M_s), the martensite austenite re‐transformation start temperature (A_s) and the re‐transformation finish temperature (A_f) of six high alloyed Cr‐Mn‐Ni steels with varying Ni and Mn contents in the wrought and as‐cast state were studied. The aim of this investigation is the development of the relationships between the M_s, A_s, A_f, T₀ temperatures and the chemical composition of a new type of Cr‐Mn‐Ni steels. The investigations show that the M_s, A_s and A_f temperatures decrease with increasing nickel and manganese contents. The A_f temperature depends on the amount of martensite. Regression equations for the transformation temperatures are given. The experimental results are based on dilatometer tests and microstructure investigations.     

Effect of Bake‐Hardening on the Structure‐Property Relationship of Multiphase Steels for the Automotive Industry

The effect of a bake‐hardening (BH) treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties has been studied in C‐Mn‐Si TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) and Dual Phase (DP) steels after: (i) thermomechanical processing (TMP) and (ii) intercritical annealing (IA). The steels were characterized using X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and three‐dimensional atom probe tomography (APT). All steels showed high BH response. However, the DP and TRIP steels after IA/BH showed the appearance of upper and lower yield points, while the stress‐strain behavior of the TRIP steel after TMP/BH was still continuous. This was due to the higher volume fraction of bainite and more stable retained austenite in the TMP/BH steel, the formation of plastic deformation zones with high dislocation density around the “as‐quenched” martensite and “TRIP” martensite in the IA/BH DP steel and IA/BH TRIP steel, respectively.     

Effect of Hot Band Annealing on Magnetic Properties in 3% Si Grain‐oriented Electrical Steels

Hot band annealing is known to be a prerequisite for good magnetic properties irrespective of manufacturing methods in grain‐oriented Fe‐3 wt.% Si electrical steels. In this study, the effects of hot band annealing on magnetic properties were investigated in 3% grain‐oriented electrical steels of low soluble AI contents and one‐stage cold rolling. Microstructure and precipitate distribution were compared with hot band annealing conditions. Secondary recrystallization behaviour with hot band annealing condition was also discussed.
