The kinetics and metallography of isothermal transformations in four hypereutectoid steels (0.85 to 1.80 wt pct C) have been
studied in the temperature range between 623 and 333 K. Isothermal transformation diagrams for each steel were constructed
by means of dilatometry and microscopy. It was found that the C curve, the reverse in kinetics, which has been called “Swing
Back”, appeared at the temperature near the in each steel. This paper focuses on the swing back phenomena appearing in four
steels. The nose temperatures of C curves nearin 0.85, 1.10, 1.45, and 1.80 wt pct C steels were determined to be about 520,
440, 400, and 375 K, respectively. It was clarified that the C curves near in 1.45 and 1.80 wt pct C steels were associated
with the formations of lower bainite with midrib (LBm), thin-plate isothermal martensite (TIM), and leaf-like isothermal martensite
(LIM), but those in 0.85 and 1.10 wt pct C steels were related to the formation of LBm. On the basis of the kinetics and
metalography, the temperatureJcarbon-contentJtransformation diagram was constructed in the hypereutectoid range of steel. 相似文献

Application of Rietveld Refinement to Investigate the High Chromium White Cast Iron Austempered at Different Temperatures 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of austempering temperature on the microstructure and properties of a high chromium white cast iron was investigated with the Rietveld refinement method. The result shows that the upper bainite exists in the sample austempered at 623 K and the martensite, lower bainite, M7C3, and retained austenite exist in the samples austempered at 563 K and 593 K. The relative content of the retained austenite increases with increasing the austempering temperature from 563 K to 623 K. The higher hardness, impact toughness and impact abrasive wear resistance can be obtained for the specimen austempered at 593 K. 相似文献

The linear products formed isothermally at 373 K in a 1.80 wt pct C steel (Ms = 346 K) were examined by means of transmission
electron microscopy. They were first reported as “black line products” by Greninger and Troiano. The isothermal product was
of a thin plate with about 0.5 μm width, and it contained {112}b transformation twins and revealed a habit plane of {3 15 10}f. The orientation relationship between austenite and product was close to the Nishiyama relationship. These crystallographic
data were in good agreement with those calculated by the phenomenological theory of martensitic transformation. Consequently,
the product was determined not to be lower bainite, but isothermal martensite. The black color of isothermal martensites resulted
from the fact that they were easily etched by the precipitates of epsilon carbide formed during the isothermal holding. 相似文献

The isothermal transformation products of austenite over a wide range of temperatures and times in the bainitic range in a 0.2 wt.% C–1.5 wt.% Mn steel have been studied by transmission electron microscopy in order to characterise the bainitic microstructures in low-carbon low-alloy steels. Widmanstätten ferrite has formed with alternate layers of austenite (martensite) as a transition product at 600 and 500°C that has finally transformed on further isothermal transformation to either pearlite (at 600°C) or upper bainite (at 500°C). This type of transformation product was referred to as BI bainite by earlier investigators, but on the basis of the present investigation it is concluded that such ferrite-austenite (martensite) structures are not bainitic as this is not the final transformation product either at 600 or 500°C. Both upper bainite and lath-type lower bainite are formed at 450°C while the transformation product has been only lath-type lower bainite at 400°C. 相似文献

The role of Boron on the isothermal bainitic transformation in low-C, lean-alloyed steel was investigated. B clearly affected both the transformation kinetics and the morphology of isothermally transformed bainite. The effect of B was more noticeable in the high-temperature range of the bainitic transformation. The microstructure of bainite formed at 773 K (500 °C) consisted of a bainitic ferrite matrix and the martensite/austenite constituent. While the martensite/austenite constituent had an elongated morphology in B-free steel, the martensite/austenite constituents in the B-added steel had a granular morphology. Two types of bainite unit nucleation were considered: the initial nuclei and the nuclei formed on previously formed units. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis showed that the initial bainitic ferrite nuclei were formed at austenite grain boundaries with a Kurdjumov-Sachs (K-S) crystallographic orientation relationship with respect to one of the neighboring austenite grains, revealing the importance of interfacial energy reduction in the nucleation stage. The nuclei of the bainite transformation in the B-added steel were confined to the austenite grain interior, and the bainitic ferrite nuclei had crystallographic orientations limited to K-S variants within the same Bain variant. The characteristic bainite microstructure in B-added steel is due to the inhibition of the bainitic ferrite nucleation at austenite grain boundaries. 相似文献

Martensite in an Fe-1.22C alloy was tempered at 523, 573, and 623 K and examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Mössbauer effect spectroscopy (MES) to identify the morphology and type of carbide formed at the beginning of the third stage of tempering. Carbides formed in three morphologies: on twins within the martensite plates, in the matrix of twin-free areas of the martensite plates, and along the interfaces of the martensite plates. Chi-carbide(x), as identified by selected area diffraction (SAD), was associated with each carbide morphology in specimens tempered at 573 K. Cementite (0) together with chi-carbide was observed in specimens tempered at 623 K. Small amounts (about 2 pct) of retained austenite were observed by MES of specimens tempered at 523 K. The transformation of the 25 pct retained austenite in as-quenched specimens was related to theX-carbide formed at the martensite plate interfaces during tempering. The MES results also show the presence of κ-carbide in the specimen tempered at 523 K and yields parameters indicative of a mixture of κ and θ carbides for the specimens tempered at 573 K and 623 K. MES measurements of the magnetic transition temperatures of the carbides show diffuse transitions but suggest that κ is the dominant carbide in the tempering temperature range examined. 相似文献

Using a Gleeble thermomechanical simulator, a high-silicon steel (Fe-0.2C-1.5Si-2.0Mn-0.6Cr) was laboratory hot-rolled, re-austenitized, quenched into the M s–M f range, retaining 15 to 40 pct austenite at the quench stop temperature (T Q), and annealed for 10 to 1000 seconds at or above T Q in order to better understand the mechanisms operating during partitioning. Dilatometer measurements, transmission electron microscopy, and calculations showed that besides carbon partitioning, isothermal martensite and bainite form at the partitioning temperature. While isothermal martensite formation starts almost immediately after quenching with the rate of volume expansion dropping all the time, the beginning of bainite formation is marked by a sudden increase in the rate of expansion. The extent of its formation depends on the partitioning temperature following TTT diagram predictions. At the highest partitioning temperatures martensite tempering competes with partitioning. Small fractions of bainite and high-carbon martensite formed on cooling from the partitioning temperature. The average carbon content of the austenite retained at room temperature as determined from XRD measurements was close to the carbon content estimated from the M s temperature of the martensite formed during the final cooling. 相似文献

摘要:变形和等温热处理是高强贝氏体钢主要生产工艺,已有研究表明低于马氏体相变起始温度(Ms)的等温热处理可以促进贝氏体相变动力学,低温奥氏体预变形也可以加速贝氏体相变。研究了低于Ms温度变形对后续等温贝氏体相变动力学和组织的影响,结果表明,并未出现预想的加速相变叠加效应,反而,变形温度低于Ms温度时,贝氏体相变动力学减弱,等温贝氏体相变孕育期延长。低于Ms温度等温相变时,贝氏体铁素体与母相奥氏体位向关系接近K-S关系,变形试样虽然获得了一部分先马氏体,且能提高贝氏体形核率,但并非所有的胚核都能发生长大,变形改变母相奥氏体取向,使贝氏体原本的位向关系遭受破坏,导致有效形核率降低。 相似文献

A study has been made of the effect of the second phase lower bainite on lower temperature mechanical properties from ambient temperature (287 K) to 123 K of a commercial Japanese 0.40 pct C-Ni-Cr-Mo ultrahigh strength steel corresponding to AISI 4340. When 25 vol pct lower bainite, which appeared in acicular form so as to partition prior austenite grains, was associated with martensite at 473 K, it provided a better combination of strength and ductility than that achieved using 1133 K direct water quenching irrespective of the test temperature. With the lower bainite, notch tensile strength was dramatically improved over the temperature region studied about 2150 MPa even at 123 K; whereas, in the case of 1133 K direct water quenching, it remained at about 1700 MPa. Similar trends were observed in the relationship between the lower bainite and the Charpy V-notch impact energy at and above 238 K. The lower bainite also produced superior fracture ductility and notch toughness results with decreased temperature of testing as compared to those obtained using a y γ α′ ’ repetitive heat treatment for the same steel. The above beneficial effects of the second phase lower bainite on lower temperature mechanical properties are briefly discussed in terms of metallographic examinations, the law of mixtures, and so on. 相似文献

Heat treatment with mixed martensite-bainite transformation of austenite is optimized in terms of strength and fatigue-crack
resistance. For the manufacture of components in impact mechanisms, the best combination of strength, hardness, and crack
resistance is obtained for steel in which 40% martensite is formed on intermediate cooling, while isothermal heating converts
the residual supercooled austenite to lower bainite. This increases the strength by 200–250 N/mm2 in relation to quenching + tempering + isothermal quenching (with comparable crack resistance) and increases the resistance
to fatigue-crack propagation by a factor of 1.3–2 (with analogous strength). 相似文献

The morphology of continuously cooled and isothermally transformed bainite structures formed in a Cr-Mo-V rotor steel has been studied using transmission electron microscopy. The samples were austenitised at 955°C for an hour followed by air cooling to room temperature. The isothermal transformation reaction was carried out at 450°C for up to 100 000 s. The microconstituents observed are predominantly lower bainite with very small amount of upper bainite and martensite (formed from untransformed austenite due to water quenching). Analysis of the selected area diffraction patterns confirm that the carbide in bainite is orthorhombic cementite and the orientation relationship between ferrite and cementite is consistent with that of Bagaryatskii. The carbide particles in isothermally transformed bainite are coarser than those of continuously cooled bainite. Tempering one hour at 670°C of continuously cooled steel samples exhibited formation of fine spheroidal MC type carbides. In addition tempering leads to the enrichment of prior austenite grain boundaries by cementite particles. Tempering ten hours at 670°C exhibited microstructures almost identical to those observed in one hour tempering. 相似文献

The designed steel of Fe-0.25C-1.5Mn-1.2Si-1.5Ni-0.05Nb (wt pct) treated by a novel quenching-partitioning-tempering (Q-P-T)
process demonstrates an excellent product of strength and elongation (PSE) at deformed temperatures from 298 K to 573 K (25 °C
to 300 °C) and shows a maximum value of PSE (over 27,000 MPa pct) at 473 K (200 °C). The results fitted by the exponent decay
law indicate that the retained austenite fraction with strain at a deformed temperature of 473 K (200 °C) decreases slower
than that at 298 K (25 °C); namely, the transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) effect occurs in a larger strain range at
473 K (200 °C) than at 298 K (25 °C), showing better mechanical stability. The work-hardening exponent curves of Q-P-T steel
further indicate that the largest plateau before necking appears at the deformed temperature of 473 K (200 °C), showing the
maximum TRIP effect, which is due to the mechanical stability of considerable retained austenite. The microstructural characterization
reveals that the high strength of Q-P-T steels results from dislocation-type martensite laths and dispersively distributed
fcc NbC or hcp ε-carbides in martensite matrix, while excellent ductility is attributed to the TRIP effect produced by considerable retained
austenite. 相似文献

The stress induced martensitic transformation in the upper metastable intermediate state of γ-α transformation in ferrous materials, structured as ferritic bainite, is discussed. The fibrous structured ferritic bainite consists of retained austenite and ferrite platelets growing in the [111]α//[101]γ direction. The ferrite growth Induces carbon enrichment of the adjacent austenite at the phase boundaries. Strengthening at high stress levels up to the yield point causes dislocation tangles in the ferrite fibre and the formation of shear bands crossing each other in the retained austenite. At lower carbon contents of the austenite, lath martensite precipitates at the shear band intersections and at high shear band densities martensite blocks are observed. In carbon enriched austenite martensite lenses formed by shear processes have been observed. At alternating loading conditions, exceeding the stress level for athermic martensite formation, various shear planes are activated forming characteristic patterns of plate martensite. 相似文献

A modified heat treatment has been suggested whereby lower temperature plane-strain fracture toughness (K
IC) of 4340 ultrahigh strength steel is dramatically improved in developed strength and Charpy impact energy levels. The modified
heat-treated 4340 steel (MHT-4340 steel) consists of a mixed structure of martensite and about 25 vol pct lower bainite which
appears in acicular form and partitions prior austenite grains. This is produced through isothermal transformation at 593
K for a short time followed by an oil quench (after austenitizing at 1133 K and subsequent interrupted quenching in a lead
bath at 823 K). The mechanical properties obtained at room temperature (293 K) and 193 K have been compared with those achieved
using various heat treatments. Significant conclusions are as follows: the MHT-4340 steel compared to the 1133 K directly
oil-quenched 4340 steel increased theK
IC values by 15 to 20 MPa • m1/2 at increased strength and Charpy impact energy levels regardless of the test temperature examined. At 193 K,K
IC values of the MHT-4340 steel were not less than those of the 1473 K directly oil-quenched 4340 steel, in whichK
IC values are significantly enhanced at markedly increased strength, ductility, and Charpy impact energy levels. The MHT-4340
steels compared to austempered 4340 steels at 593 K, which have excellent Charpy impact properties, showed superiorK
IC values at significant increased strength levels irrespective of test temperatures. The lower temperature improvement inK
IC can be attributed to not only the crack-arrest effect by acicular lower bainite but also to the stress-relief effect by the
lower bainite just ahead of the current crack. 相似文献

Steels containing 0.15 pct C and 1.2 pct Si-1.5 pct Mn or 4 pct Ni were intercritically annealed and isothermally transformed
between 300 °C and 500 °C for 1 to 60 minutes. The specimens were subjected to tensile testing at room temperature, and the
microstructures were evaluated by light microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM, respectively),
and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microstructures consist of dispersed regions of bainite, martensite, and austenite in a matrix
of ferrite, and a maximum of 11.6 pct austenite is retained after isothermal holding at 450 °C in the Si-Mn steel. In specimens
where austenite transforms to martensite during quenching after isothermal holding, the stress-strain curves show continuous
yielding, high ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and relatively low ductility. In specimens where higher volume fractions of
austenite transform to bainite during isothermal holding, the stress-strain curves show discontinuous yielding, low UTS, and
high ductility. 相似文献
