TEM Investigations of Fine Niobium Precipitates in HSLA Steel

Commercially produced 0.03 % C, 0.08 % Nb, 0.01 % Ti high strength low alloyed (HSLA) steel in the form of 20 mm thick plates was investigated. The steel was thermomechanically processed and the mechanical properties of the steel were evaluated by tensile testing. Using analytical and high resolution transmission electron microscopy the distribution, morphology, composition, crystal structure and particle size of niobium and titanium carbonitrides were observed and identified in these steels. The distribution of the precipitates was found to be nearly random, with occasional occurrence of precipitation free zones. Complex agglomerates with a cubic TiN seed crystal overgrown by a cubic NbC particle were the most commonly observed precipitates. Further TEM analysis in the accelerated cooled and tempered specimens in 1/4 plate thickness did not reveal any evidence that additional precipitation in the ferrite occurred. Precipitation in ferrite was only detected after subsequent cold deformation and tempering of the same samples. By a combination of EFTEM, STEM, HRTEM in addition to EDX spectroscopy, a large population of strain induced NbC precipitates with fcc crystal structure ranging in size down to 2 nm were identified in the ferrite matrix.     

Validation of a Model of Plastic Deformation of Niobium Microalloyed Steels in the Two‐Phase Temperature Region

This article describes a thermo‐mechanical‐microstructural model for deformation of niobium microalloyed steel in the two‐phase range of temperatures. Results of physical and numerical modeling are presented. The physical simulation experiments include plastometric and dilatometric tests, as well as industrial rolling trial. Plastometric tests were performed to describe the flow stress for the wide range of temperatures, including ferritic, two‐phase, and austenitic states. Two‐stage deformation tests were performed to identify the microstructure evolution model. Dilatometric tests were used to identify the model of phase transformation. A model of the kinetics of the precipitation was adapted from the literature. The coefficients in all the models were identified using inverse analysis. Developed models were implemented in the finite element code. In order to improve the accuracy of the flow stress predictions in the two‐phase phase temperature range, internal variable dislocation density model was included, as well. The proposed combination of models correctly predicted microstructure changes and mechanical properties in the two‐phase range, during the transformations of the thermo‐mechanical treatment. Industrial trials were performed for the final validation of the models.     

Precipitation and Solid Solution of Titanium Carbonitride Inclusions in Hypereutectoid Tire Cord Steel

The properties of titanium carbonitride Ti(C_xN_(1-x))inclusions precipitated during solidification of tire cord steels and the thermodynamic conditions for their decomposition and solid solution during billet heating were investigated using a thermodynamics method.The solid solution of Ti(C_xN_(1-x))inclusions during high-temperature heating was also studied experimentally.The results revealed that:(1)the higher the content of carbon in the tire cord steel is,the greater the value of xin the Ti(C_xN_(1-x))inclusions is;(2)the higher the content of carbon in the tire cord steel is,the earlier the Ti(C_xN_(1-x))inclusions precipitated during the solidification process and the lower the solidification front temperature is during precipitation;(3)when an 82 Asteel sample was heated to 1 087℃,the Ti(C_xN_(1-x))inclusions possess the thermodynamic conditions of decomposition and solid solution;and(4)when 82 Asamples were heated to 1 150 and 1 250 ℃,the total number of Ti(C_xN_(1-x))inclusions larger than 5 μm in diameter decreased by55.0% and 70.3%,respectively.In addition,although smaller inclusions with diameter less than 2 μm continued to decompose when the sample was heated at 1 250℃for 2 hand then cooled to 1 000℃in the furnace,the number of inclusions larger than 5 μm in diameter increased.     

Precipitates and Hydrogen Permeation Behavior in Vanadium-Bearing Microalloyed Low Carbon Steel

The precipitates and hydrogen permeation behavior were studied in the low carbon steel for enameling.During the preparation of samples,Ti containing and Ti free in vanadium-bearing microalloyed low carbon steel heating at 750℃ for 3 h,were adopted after cold-rolling.It was found that the a large number of fine VC,TiC,TiN and Ti 4 C 2 S 2 precipitates were in samples of Vanadium-bearing microalloyed low carbon steel with Ti element.And fine VC,Fe 3 C and MnS precipitates were in steels without Ti element.So the numbers of precipitates in the former is more bigger than the later.The activation energies for hydrogen diffusion in both samples are 26.5 and 23.7 kJ/mol,respectively.But at 25℃,the effective diffusion coefficients in the samples for Ti containing and Ti free in Vanadium-bearing microalloyed low carbon steel were measured as 2.71×10-6 and 4.22×10-6 cm 2 /s,respectively.No fishscaling defect occurred in the former and heavy fishscaling defect in the later.

Dynamic and Static Recrystallization Behavior of Low Carbon High Niobium Microalloyed Steel

 The recrystallization behavior of a low carbon high Nb microalloyed steel was investigated using Continuous and interrupted hot compression tests. The results showed that the onset of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) could be detected from inflection in the plot of the strain hardening rate θ against stress σ regardless of whether the stress peak appears or not. According to Zener-Hollomon parameter the activity energy of DRX (Qdef) was obtained, and a new modified expression calculating Qdef was proposed in consideration of the chemical composition of experimental steel. Applying the 2% offset method the static softening fraction was determined. The graphic representation of the softening fraction vs. interrupt time gave the information of the non-static recrystallization temperature (about 1000℃)and the relationship of precipitation-time-temperature. Static recrystallization kinetics follow Avrami’s law in high deformation temperature, and different values of the exponent n were given to illustrate the different effects of Nb element on static recrystallization at different deformation temperature.     

Influence of Holding Time After Deformation on Bainite Transformation in Niobium Microalloyed Steel

  Using Gleeble 1500 system, the influence of holding time on bainite transformation in deformed niobium microalloyed steel during continuous cooling was analyzed, and the carbides in upper bainite were also systematically researched. The results show that the occurrence of the static recrystallization decreases the amount of bainite with an increase in the holding time and the emergence of retained austenite (RA) with the longer holding time. Two types of carbides were observed in upper bainite with regard to their precipitation sites. They either existed between the bainite ferrite laths or co existed with RA. The formation mechanism of two kinds of carbides was analyzed by combining TEM micrographs with the model.

A New Route for Identification of Precipitates on Austenite Grain Boundary in an Nb-V-Ti Microalloyed Steel

 The precipitates on austenite grain boundaries in an Nb-V-Ti microalloyed steel have been investigated by transmission electron microscope (TEM) examination of carbon extraction replica. The replica was prepared from specimen etched with saturated picric solution rather than Nital which is conventionally used. Then particles on both grain boundaries and triple point of grain boundaries were clearly observed and identified as (Nb,Ti)(C,N) particles. In case of conventional way, it is difficult to determine the location of particles with respect to austenite grain boundaries. The number of particles observed in new way developed was greatly reduced compared with that found in replica prepared by the conventional way, which may be caused by the dissolution of partial precipitates during the etching with longer time and at higher temperature involved in new way. Despite this, the new way developed provides an effective way to determine the precipitate particles on austenite grain boundaries.     

Formation of Intragranular Ferrite During Isothermal/Thermomechanical Processes in a Medium Carbon V-Ti-N Microalloyed Steel

For a V-Ti-N microalloyed steel with 0.34%C-1.54%Mn,intragranular ferrite (IGF) was obtained in both isothermal austenite decomposition processes and thermomechanical processes simulating the industrial seamless tubing manufacture process.Results show that with decrease of the isothermal temperature in range of 600℃ down to 450℃,not only the morphology of IGF changed from equiaxed to acicular,but also the equiaxed IGF and the acicular IGF were refined.More importantly,it is found that the amount of equiaxed ferrite increased significantly in the thermomechanical process sample water quenched from 550℃ after 800℃ deformation than that in the isothermally treated sample at 550℃ sample without hot deformation.It implies that appropriate controlled deformation with controlled cooling can significantly promote equiaxed IGF formation,and not solely rely on nucleation mechanisms related with inclusions.Hot deformation of austenite without dynamic and complete static recrystallization causes high energy regions,therefore further promotes the nucleation potency of IGF.
