Effects of microstructure on fracture toughness and transition temperature of high-toughness X70 pipeline steels were investigated
in this study. Three types of steels were fabricated by varying alloying elements such as C, Cu, and Mo, and their microstructures
were varied by rolling conditions such as finish rolling temperature and finish cooling temperature. Charpy V-notch (CVN)
impact tests and pressed notch drop-weight tear tests (DWTT) were conducted on the rolled steel specimens. The charpy impact
test results indicated that the specimens rolled in the single-phase region of the steel containing a reduced amount of C
and Mo had the highest upper shelf energy (USE) and the lowest energy transition temperature (ETT) because of the appropriate
formation of acicular, quasipolygonal, or polygonal ferrite and the decreased fraction of martensite-austenite constituents.
Most of the specimens rolled in the single-phase region also showed excellent DWTT properties as the percent shear area (pct
SA) well exceeded 85 pct, irrespective of finish cooling temperatures, while their USE was higher than that of the specimens
rolled in the two-phase region. Thus, overall fracture properties of the specimens rolled in the single-phase region were
better than those of the specimens rolled in the two-phase region, considering both USE and pct SA.

Correlation of rolling conditions, microstructure, and low-temperature toughness of high-toughness X70 pipeline steels was
investigated in this study. Twelve kinds of steel specimens were fabricated by vacuum-induction melting and hot rolling, and
their microstructures were varied by rolling conditions. Charpy V-notch (CVN) impact test and drop-weight tear test (DWTT)
were conducted on the rolled steel specimens in order to analyze low-temperature fracture properties. Charpy impact test results
indicated that the energy transition temperature (ETT) was below −100 °C when the finish cooling temperature range was 350
°C to 500 °C, showing excellent low-temperature toughness. The ETT increased because of the formation of bainitic ferrite
and martensite at low finish cooling temperatures and because of the increase in effective grain size due to the formation
of coarse ferrites at high finish cooling temperatures. Most of the specimens also showed excellent DWTT properties as the
percent shear area well exceeded 85 pct, irrespective of finish rolling temperatures or finish cooling temperatures, although
a large amount of inverse fracture occurred at some finish cooling temperatures. 相似文献

The effects of microstructure on inverse fracture occurring in the hammer-impacted region were analyzed after conducting a
drop-weight tear test (DWTT) on high-toughness pipeline steels. Three kinds of steels were fabricated by varying the alloying
elements, and their microstructures were varied by the rolling conditions. The pressed-notch (PN) or chevron-notch (CN) DWTT
and Charpy V-notch (CVN) impact tests were conducted on the rolled steel specimens, and the results were discussed in comparison
with the data obtained from CVN tests of prestrained specimens. In the hammer-impacted region of the DWTT specimens, abnormal
inverse fracture having a cleavage fracture mode appeared, and the inverse fracture area correlated well with the upper-shelf
energy (USE) obtained from the CVN test and with the grain size. The steel specimens having a higher USE or having coarse
polygonal ferrite tended to have a larger inverse fracture area than those having a lower USE or having fine acicular ferrite.
This was because steels having a higher impact absorption energy required higher energy for fracture initiation and propagation
during the DWTT. These results were confirmed by the CVN data of prestrained steel specimens. 相似文献

Effective grain size and charpy impact properties of high-toughness X70 pipeline steels 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The correlation of microstructure and Charpy V-notch (CVN) impact properties of a high-toughness API X70 pipeline steel was
investigated in this study. Six kinds of steel were fabricated by varying the hot-rolling conditions, and their microstructures,
effective grain sizes, and CVN impact properties were analyzed. The CVN impact test results indicated that the steels rolled
in the single-phase region had higher upper-shelf energies (USEs) and lower energy-transition temperatures (ETTs) than the
steels rolled in the two-phase region because their microstructures were composed of acicular ferrite (AF) and fine polygonal
ferrite (PF). The decreased ETT in the steels rolled in the single-phase region could be explained by the decrease in the
overall effective grain size due to the presence of AF having a smaller effective grain size. On the other hand, the absorbed
energy of the steels rolled in the two-phase region was considerably lower because a large amount of dislocations were generated
inside PFs during rolling. It was further decreased when coarse martensite or cementite was formed during the cooling process. 相似文献

Correlation between Charpy V-notch (CVN) impact properties, drop-weight tear test (DWTT) properties, and crack-tip opening
angles for stable crack propagation (CTOAsc) in high-toughness API X70 pipeline steels was investigated in this study. Two-specimen CTOA test (TSCT) was conducted on
the rolled steel materials to measure the CTOAsc, and the test results were compared to the CVN and DWTT data to find correlations between them. The CVN total energy density
showed an almost 1:1 linear correlation with the DWTT initiation energy density. The TSCT results indicated that the materials
rolled in the single-phase region had the larger CTOAsc as well as the higher CVN and DWTT energy density than those rolled in the two-phase region because their microstructures
were composed of acicular ferrites and fine polygonal ferrites. The CTOAsc had a better correlation with the DWTT propagation energy density or the CVN total energy density than the DWTT total energy
density. In particular, the value of sin (2CTOAsc) reliably represented a linear proportional relation to the DWTT propagation energy density. 相似文献

In this study, drop weight tear tests (DWTT) were conducted on API X70 and X80 linepipe steels fabricated with various compositions and rolling and cooling conditions in order to correlate the strain hardening with the abnormal cleavage fracture occurring in the hammer-impacted area. Area fractions of fracture modes were measured from fractured DWTT specimens, and the measured data were analyzed in relation to microstructures, Charpy impact energy, and strain hardening. All the steels consisted of fine acicular ferrite, together with some bainitic ferrite, granular bainite, and martensite-austenite constituent. As the volume fraction of acicular ferrite increased, the area fraction of DWTT abnormal cleavage fracture decreased because the toughness of acicular ferrite was higher than other microstructures. The area fraction of abnormal cleavage fracture was weakly related with strain hardening exponents obtained from the quasi-static tensile and compressive tests, but showed better correlation with those obtained from the dynamic compressive test. This tendency could be more clearly observed when steels having similar Charpy impact energy levels were grouped. Since the DWTT was performed under a dynamic loading condition, thus, the abnormal cleavage fracture behavior should be related with the strain hardening analyzed under a dynamic loading condition. 相似文献

Correlation of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Thermomechanically Processed Low-Carbon Steels Containing Boron and Copper 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Byoungchul Hwang Chang Gil Lee Tae-Ho Lee 《Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A》2010,41(1):85-96
The correlation of the microstructure and mechanical properties of thermomechanically processed low-carbon steels containing
B and Cu was investigated in this study. Eighteen kinds of steel specimens were fabricated by varying B and Cu contents and
finish cooling temperatures (FCTs) after controlled rolling, and then tensile and Charpy impact tests were conducted on them.
Continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagrams of the B-free and B-added steel specimens under nondeformed and deformed
conditions were constructed by a combination of deformation dilatometry and metallographic methods. The addition of a very
small amount of B remarkably decreased the transformation start temperatures near a bainite start temperature (Bs) and thus
expanded the formation region of low-temperature transformation phases such as degenerate upper bainite (DUB) and lower bainite
(LB) to slower cooling rates. On the other hand, a deformation in the austenite region promoted the formation of quasipolygonal
ferrite (QPF) and granular bainite (GB) with an increase in transformation start temperatures. The tensile test results indicated
that tensile strength primarily increased with decreasing FCT, while the yield strength did not vary much, except in some
specimens. The addition of B and Cu, however, increased the tensile and yield strengths simultaneously because of the significant
microstructural change occasionally affected by the FCT. The Charpy impact test results indicated that the steel specimens
predominantly composed of LB and lath martensite (LM) had lower upper-shelf energy (USE) than those consisting of GB or DUB,
but had nearly equivalent or rather lower ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) in spite of the increased strength.
According to the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis data, it was confirmed that LB and LM microstructures had
a relatively smaller effective grain size than GB or DUB microstructures, which enhanced the tortuosity of cleavage crack
propagation, thereby resulting in a decrease in DBTT. 相似文献

Six ultra-low-carbon high-strength bainitic steel plates were fabricated by controlling rolling and cooling conditions, and
effects of bainitic microstructure on tensile and Charpy impact properties were investigated. The microstructural evolution
was more critically affected by start cooling temperature and cooling rate than by finish rolling temperature. Bainitic microstructures
such as granular bainites (GBs) and bainitic ferrites (BFs) were well developed as the start cooling temperature decreased
or the cooling rate increased. When the steels cooled from 973 K or 873 K (700 °C or 600 °C) were compared under the same
cooling rate of 10 K/s (10 °C/s), the steels cooled from 973 K (700 °C) consisted mainly of coarse GBs, while the steels cooled
from 873 K (600 °C) contained a considerable amount of BFs having high strength, thereby resulting in the higher strength
but the lower ductility and upper shelf energy (USE). When the steels cooled from 673 K (400 °C) at a cooling rate of 10 K/s
(10 °C/s) or 0.1 K/s (0.1 °C/s) were compared under the same start cooling temperature of 873 K (600 °C), the fast cooled
specimens were composed mainly of coarse GBs or BFs, while the slowly cooled specimens were composed mainly of acicular ferrites
(AFs). Since AFs had small effective grain size and contained secondary phases finely distributed at grain boundaries, the
slowly cooled specimens had a good combination of strength, ductility, and USE, together with very low energy transition temperature
(ETT). 相似文献

Typical features and the difference in specimen fractures are described for rolled plate DWTT specimens manufactured by controlled rolling technology with final deformation in the two-phase γ+α-region, or controlled rolling with final deformation in the γ-region and subsequent accelerated cooling. The question is considered of the effect of the amount of absorbed energy on specimen failure mechanism with dropweight testing. Results are provided for evaluation of the ratio of the amount of ductile component in a fracture and total specimen failure energy during the DWTT for rolled plate of strength class Kh70. 相似文献

Thermal mechanical control processing (TMCP), the combination of controlled rolling and controlled cooling, provides a powerful means of developing high-strength low alloy (HSLA) steels by intensive microstructural control. In the present investigation, the effects of TMCP parameters, consisting of the finish cooling temperature and the start rolling temperature in non-recrystallization region, on the final microstructure and mechanical properties of Q460q steel have been studied by tensile, Charpy impact tests, optical microscopy. The TMCP parameters for Q460q steel have been optimized by laboratory experiments. And the microstructure and properties of industrial product were coincident with the results of laboratory experiments. 相似文献

This study is concerned with effects of specimen thickness and notch shape on drop weight tear test (DWTT) properties and
fracture modes of API X70 and API X80 low-carbon microalloyed linepipe steels. Detailed fractographic analysis of broken DWTT
specimens showed that the fracture initiated in an initial cleavage mode near the specimen notch and that some delaminations
occurred at the center of the fracture surface. The chevron notch (CN) DWTT specimens had broader initial cleavage areas than
the pressed notch (PN) DWTT specimens. The larger inverse fracture areas (i.e., cleavage areas close the hammer impact side) appeared in the PN DWTT specimens, because their higher fracture initiation
energy at the notch allowed a higher strain hardening in the hammer-impacted region. The number and length of delaminations
were larger in the CN DWTT specimens than in the PN DWTT specimens, and increased with increasing specimen thickness due to
the plane strain condition effect. As the test temperature decreased, the tendency of delaminations increased, but delaminations
were not found when the cleavage fracture prevailed at very low temperatures. The DWTT test results such as upper shelf energy
(USE) and energy transition temperature (ETT) were discussed with relation to microstructures and fracture modes including
initial cleavage fracture, ductile fracture, inverse fracture, and delaminations. 相似文献

In this study, four API X80 linepipe steel specimens were fabricated by varying the cooling rate and finish cooling temperature,
and their microstructures and crystallographic orientations were analyzed to investigate the effects of the cooling conditions
on the tensile and Charpy impact properties. All the specimens consisted of acicular ferrite (AF), granular bainite (GB),
and martensite-austenite (MA) constituents. The volume fraction of MA increased with an increasing cooling rate, and the volume
fraction and size of MA tended to decrease with an increasing finish cooling temperature. According to the crystallographic
orientation analysis data, the effective grain size and unit crack path decreased as fine ACs having a large amount of high-angle
grain boundaries were homogeneously formed, thereby leading to the improvement in the Charpy impact properties. The specimen
fabricated with the higher cooling rate and lower finish cooling temperature had the highest upper-shelf energy (USE) and
the lowest energy transition temperature (ETT), because it contained a large amount of MA homogeneously distributed inside
fine AFs, while its tensile properties remained excellent. 相似文献

The effect of an intercritical heat treatment on tempor embrittlement has been investigated for a rotor steel containing 0.25 pct C, 3.5 pct Ni, 1.7 pct Cr, 0.5 pct Mo, 0.1 pct V, and deliberate additions of phosphorus, tin, or antimony. Both martensitic and bainitic steels were held at the intercritical temperature of 1380°F (750°C) for times up to 40 h and were then quenched or cooled to obtain martensitic or bainitic transformation. The steels were then tempered, followed by water quenching or step cooling from the tempering temperature. The residual ferrite maintained a fine plate-like shape even after 40 h at the intercritical temperature. Embrittlement induced by step cooling from the final tempering was mark edly reduced by the intercritical treatment as compared to the embrittlement observed after conventional heat treatment; for example, AFATT, the increase in the Charpy V-notch 50 pct shear fracture transition temperature caused by step cooling, was reduced by at least 80°F (45°C) as a result of the intercritical treatment of steels containing 0.02 pct P. Molybdenum effectively reduced AFATT in intercritlcally heat-treated steels as well as in conventionally treated steels. Possible mechanisms for reducing temper embrittlement with the intercritical treatment are discussed. 相似文献

Laboratory melts of microalloyed low carbon steels with an increased silicon content of about 1 % and manganese contents between 0.3 and 1.3 % were thermomechanically rolled in a laboratory two-high rolling stand to plates of about 10 mm in thickness. The influence of chemical composition and finish rolling temperature (FRT) on the ferrite-pearlite structure of the plates (tensile and Charpy impact tests) was investigated. The choice of the temperature range of finish rolling with respect to the γ/α transformation start temperature strongly influences the ferrite-pearlite structure and the mechanical properties. The most fine-grained and homogeneous ferrite-pearlite structure and the best combination of strength and toughness have been obtained with steels containing about 1 % Mn and 1 % Si rolled with a finish rolling temperature of about 850°C. 相似文献

The steels were rolled at 3 different finishing temperatures. The mechanical properties were tested by tensile tests. The results show that as finish rolling temperature decreases from 620 to 560 ℃ in ferrite region, the deep drawability of ferritic rolled P added high strength IF steels is improved, and r value rises from 114 to 137. Finish rolling temperature (FT) has less influence on other mechanical properties, such as yield strength, tensile strength and elongation. Microstructures of hot rolled and annealed steel sheets and precipitates of annealed steel sheets were also analyzed. 相似文献
