采用双相区再加热-淬火-碳配分(IQP)工艺,研究初始组织为铁素体+珠光体的IQP-Ⅰ多相钢和初始组织为马氏体的IQP-Ⅱ多相钢的组织形貌、残留奥氏体及力学性能。结果表明:初始组织为铁素体+珠光体的IQP-Ⅰ多相钢室温组织中,铁素体和马氏体基本呈块状分布,块状残留奥氏体存在于铁素体与马氏体界面处,薄膜状只存在于马氏体内的板条之间,且残留奥氏体含量较少,TRIP效应不明显,其抗拉强度为957 MPa,伸长率只有20%,强塑积为19905.6MPa·%。初始组织为马氏体的IQP-Ⅱ多相钢中铁素体和马氏体大多呈灰黑色的板条状或针状,且细小的针状马氏体均匀地分布在铁素体基体上,残留奥氏体只以薄膜状平行分布在铁素体基体上,体积分数达到了13.2%,且具有较高的稳定性,TRIP效应较明显,强塑积达到21560MPa·%,可以获得强度和塑性的良好结合。     

一种新型高强塑积异质冷轧中锰钢的力学性能

使用原位电子背散射衍射(EBSD)和球差透射电镜(ACTEM)等手段,研究了新型异质结构中锰TRIP钢在拉伸过程中微观组织的演变机制和力学性能。结果表明,在680℃退火后的实验钢中生成了多形貌、多尺度的异质奥氏体结构(颗粒状、块状、片层状奥氏体)和铁素体组织,其抗拉强度为1272 MPa,总延伸率为54.5%,强塑积高达69.3 GPa·%。在拉伸过程中C/Mn含量较低的颗粒状奥氏体先发生相变,而C/Mn含量较高的块状和片层状奥氏体在较大的应变范围内逐渐发生相变,从而导致高强度与高塑性的良好匹配。结果还表明,马氏体相变优先在奥氏体晶界/相界附近的区域形核。与晶粒尺寸相比,C/Mn元素对奥氏体稳定性的作用更重要。     

Mn含量对低碳中锰TRIP钢组织性能的影响

为研究连续退火工艺生产中锰TRIP钢汽车板的可行性,采用CCT-AY-Ⅱ型钢板连续退火机模拟分析了不同锰含量对中锰TRIP钢组织性能的影响规律.采用SEM、TEM和EBSD等微观分析方法观察不同锰含量中锰TRIP的微观组织,利用XRD法测量了残留奥氏体量,实验测量其力学性能.结果表明:试验钢在650℃保温3 min时,随着锰质量分数(4.8%≤w(Mn)≤8%)的增加,屈服强度先增加后降低,抗拉强度持续升高,断后延伸率则基本不变,维持在20%左右,残余奥氏体含量也随着锰含量的增加而增加;当锰质量分数超过6%(含6%)时,真实应力-应变曲线由于动态应变时效而呈锯齿状,且加工硬化指数远大于5Mn钢.试验钢的高塑性由亚稳奥氏体的TRIP效应和超细晶铁素体或马氏体共同提供.     

单相组织TWIP钢的扩孔性研究

超高强钢的扩孔性能是冲压成形的重要性质.为评价980 MPa TWIP钢的扩孔性能,本文以单相铁素体IF钢和980 MPa双相钢作为参考材料,用扫描电镜观察了3个钢种的微观组织,并对3个钢种进行了拉伸实验和扩孔实验,采用背散射电子衍射(EBSD)技术分析了拉伸后和扩孔实验后TWIP钢的微观组织.实验结果表明:拉伸前TWIP钢呈现类似于IF钢均匀的单相奥氏体组织,而拉伸后TWIP钢呈现类似于DP钢不均匀的硬质变形孪晶奥氏体和软质奥氏体;扩孔后TWIP钢的开裂位置集中在奥氏体和变形孪晶奥氏体界面;虽然TWIP钢显现出更大的均匀伸长率和加工硬化,但扩孔率明显小于IF钢.TWIP钢扩孔率增加源于早期孪晶诱发塑性(TWIP效应)导致的均匀变形.同时,这种变形机制导致组织中的硬质变形孪晶奥氏体,硬质变形孪晶奥氏体与软质奥氏体匹配(类似于双相钢中马氏体铁素体匹配)将恶化局部变形,阻碍扩孔性能进一步提升.

对690 MPa级海工钢进行“淬火+两相区退火+回火”三步热处理,研究了回火温度对其组织和性能的影响、分析了力学性能变化与组织演变和残余奥氏体体积分数之间的关系。结果表明：回火后实验钢的显微组织为回火贝氏体/马氏体、临界铁素体和残余奥氏体的混合组织。随着回火温度的提高贝氏体/马氏体和临界铁素体逐渐分解成小尺寸晶粒,而残余奥氏体的体积分数逐渐增加;屈服强度由787 MPa降低到716 MPa,塑性和低温韧性明显增强,断后伸长率由20.30%增至29.24%,-40℃下的冲击功由77 J提升至150 J。残余奥氏体体积分数的增加引起裂纹扩展功增大,是低温韧性提高的主要原因。贝氏体/马氏体的分解和残余奥氏体的生成,引起组织细化、晶粒内低KAM值位错的比例逐渐提高和小角度晶界峰值的频率增大,使材料的塑性和韧性显著提高。

Effect of cryogenic treatment on microstructure, mechanical and wear behaviors of AISI H13 hot work tool steel

This paper focuses on the effects of low temperature (subzero) treatments on microstructure and mechanical properties of H13 hot work tool steel. Cryogenic treatment at −72 °C and deep cryogenic treatment at −196 °C were applied and it was found that by applying the subzero treatments, the retained austenite was transformed to martensite. As the temperature was decreased more retained austenite was transformed to martensite and it also led to smaller and more uniform martensite laths distributed in the microstructure. The deep cryogenic treatment also resulted in precipitation of more uniform and very fine carbide particles. The microstructural modification resulted in a significant improvement on the mechanical properties of the H13 tool steel.     

Effect of austenisation temperature on bainite transformation below martensite starting temperature

Effects of austenisation temperature on martensite and bainite transformation behaviour, microstructure, and mechanical properties of a bainitic steel austempered below martensite starting temperature were investigated in this study. Results show that the amount of athermal martensite gradually increased with the increase of austenisation temperature, whereas the amounts of bainite and retained austenite initially increased and then decreased, resulting in the trend of the first increase and then decrease in the product of tensile strength and elongation. In addition, the transformation rate of isothermal bainite after athermal martensite formation revealed a trend of deceleration and then acceleration with austenisation temperature at the beginning period. Moreover, the size of bainite plates decreased first and then increased with austenisation temperature.

Surface Modification of 304 Steel Using Triple-Step Shot Peening

This paper reports the influences of triple-step shot peening (SP) on the microstructure and residual stress evolution for the 304 stainless steel. The microstructure and residual stress were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis methodology. After triple-step SP, the domain sizes decreased while the dislocation density and compressive residual stress increased as a result of the austenite and martensite in the peening deformed layer. With an increase in depth, the micro-strain for austenite decreased gradually while the micro-strain for martensite increased first, and then decreased.     

SEM/EBSD based in situ studies of deformation induced phase transformations in supermartensitic stainless steels

Abstract

Recent year's equipment design has enabled the combination of in situ deformation tests with near real time electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) mapping of the microstructure evolution in the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The present work involves studies of deformation induced phase transformations in supermartensitic steel containing ～40 vol.-% retained austenite at room temperature. The martensite formation was initiated already at low strains, and increased gradually with increasing plastic strains up to ～10%. It was observed that the martensite formed homogeneously within the microstructure, independent of the crystallographic orientations of the retained austenite. But no new martensite variants, besides those already present in the as received condition, did form during deformation. At the same time, the mutual distribution of these variants remained approximately constant throughout the deformation process.     

Influence of hot working parameters on microstructure evolution,tensile behavior and strain aging potential of bainitic pipeline steel

The microstructure evolution, tensile properties and aging behavior were studied in a low-carbon pipeline steel by performing a number of physical simulations in a thermo-mechanical simulator. The austenite status, before entering the finishing stage, was varied by varying parameters in the austenitization and the roughing stages. The finishing parameters and the subsequent cooling strategy were kept fixed throughout all applied simulations. It was found that starting the finish rolling stage with pancaked austenite is more effective in motivating the formation of acicular ferrite and refining martensite/austenite phase than refining the prior austenite grains. The former effect resulted in improving both of ultimate tensile strength and proof stress without significant ductility decrease. Increasing the deformation during roughing stage resulted in stimulating the transformation kinetics during subsequent processing and consequently decreasing the untransformed austenite that forms the martensite/austenite microconstituent. Furthermore, increasing the austenitization temperature is found to enhance both of strength and ductility when starting the finishing stage with pancaked austenite. On the other hand, attaining aging effect in the studied steel was only possible after creating new dislocations by pre-straining. An increase up to 63 MPa in the yield strength is recorded due to aging after 2% pre-straining.
