Multiphase microstructure formation and its effect on fracture behavior of medium carbon high silicon high strength steel

This work investigated the evolution of multiphase microstructure and impact fracture behavior of medium carbon high silicon high strength steel subjected to the austempering treatment at 240,360,and 400 ℃.The results show that martensite,bainite,and retained austenite (RA) are the main microstructural phases.The austempering treatments at 360 and 400 ℃ caused the formation of carbon-poor ferrite in the matrix,and the transformation of ultrafine bainite into coarse lath bainite and granular bainite,respectively.Thick filmy RA was distributed between bainite laths.The polygonal martensiteaustenite islands and blocky RA formed along the grain boundaries.The average carbon concentration in the matrix decreased with the temperature increase,while the impact toughness initially increased and then dropped with temperature.The quasi-cleavage brittle fracture dominated the impact fracture mechanism of the sample austempered at 240 ℃ by forming tearing surfaces and tearing steps.The microcracks disappeared in the RA on the prior austenite grain boundaries.On the other side,the fracture surface of the sample austempered at 360 ℃ exhibited ductile fracture with deep dimples and brittle fracture with cleavage river patterns.The polygonal martensite-austenite islands or blocky RA constrained the microcracks.After austempered at 400 ℃,the brittle fracture was dominant,showing river patterns,and the microcracks propagated through the granular bainite without any resistance.     

Zur Zähigkeit von Vergütungsstählen

On Toughness of Quenched and Tempered Steels Toughness as consumed fracture energy is dependent on fracture mechanism. Grain size and loading conditions influence the transition from ductile dimple fracture to brittle cleavage fracture. In quenched and tempered steels packet size and particle distribution are of importance as well as brittle intergranular fracture modes by grain boundary segregation of impurities in ferrite (temper embrittlement) or precipitates in austenite. Anisotropy of toughness arises from banded structures.

Fabricating Defect-Free API X65 Steel Welds under Underwater Wet Conditions using Friction Taper Plug Welding

The experiment on API X65 steel was carried out using friction taper plug welding (FTPW) under underwater wet conditions at room temperature. Sound weld formation can be achieved vastly at axial force ranging from 25 to 40 kN and a rotating speed of 7000 rpm. The microstructure of the weld zone consists of lath martensite, upper bainite, granular bainite, polygonal ferrite, and acicular ferrite. The microstructure of heat affected zone (HAZ) mainly consists of lath bainite as well as a bit of lath martensite and granular bainite. The tensile properties of defect-free welds are excellent. The maximum impact energy of the V-notch of bonding area can reach 110 J, which was conducted at 0°C with an error of ±12.5 J. The typical SEM impact fracture morphology presents areas of cleavage, quasi-cleavage, and dimples.     

Effect of Post-weld Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Fracture Toughness of 30CrMnSiNi2A Steel Welded Joints

The electron beam local post-weld heat treatment (EBLPWHT) is a rather new method that provides the advantages of high precision, flexibility and efficiency, energy saving and higher productivity. This paper studies the effect of two post-weld heat treatment processes on the microstructure, mechanical properties and fracture toughness of an electron beam welded joints in 30CrMnSiNi2A steel. EBLPWHT, in a vacuum chamber, immediately after welding and a traditional furnace whole post-weld heat treatment (FWPWHT) were compared. The experimental results show that, after EBLPWHT treatment, the main microstructure of weld was changed from coarse acicular martensite into lath rnartensite, HAZ was changed from lath martensite, bainite into lower bainite, and base metal was changed from ferrite and pearlite into upper bainite and residual austenite. The microstructures of different zones of joints in FWPWHT condition were tempered sorbite. The properties of welded joints can be improved by the EBLPWHT in some extent, and especially largely for the fracture toughness of welded joints. However the value of fracture toughness of base metal is comparatively low, so appropriate heat treatment parameters should be explored in the future.     

Effect of reheat temperature on continuous cooling bainite transformation behavior in low carbon microalloyed steel

The effect of reheat temperature on continuous cooling bainite transformation in a low carbon microalloyed steel was investigated using a dilatometer based on welding thermal simulation process. The variation of microstructure was analyzed in detail by means of optical microscope and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results showed that the morphology of the main microstructure changes from polygonal ferrite to granular bainite with increasing reheat temperature at a given lower cooling rate. For the higher cooling rate, the microstructure is predominantly lath bainite irrespective of the reheat temperature. The specimens with the relatively fine austenite grain size have the lowest bainite start and finish temperatures among the simulated sub-zones of heat affected zone, which is consistent with the result of the bainite lath width size observed using the TEM. Meanwhile, although the prevailing type of impingement mode of transformation is anisotropic growth impingement for all heat treatment processes, the reheat temperature has some influence on the maximum transformation rate and effective activation energy of bainite transformation.
