重加热过程中含Nb微合金钢组织热稳定性

运用热模拟技术，结合金相和透射电子显微镜观察，研究了含Nb微合金钢在奥氏体区变形后等温弛豫不同时间再水冷得到的复合组织的热稳定性，发现在各样品的贝氏铁素体内部，位错组态与应变诱导析出颗粒的分布状态明显不同。在随后的700℃重加热等温过程中，弛豫60s的样品重加热时热稳定性明显高于弛豫1000s的样品。重加热前的预应变加速演化过程。这些现象表明，显微组织的热稳定性在很大程度上取决于它的形成历史。重加热等温过程发生的组织演化是以板条内位错摆脱钉扎发生多边形化，板条间小角倾转晶界通过位错攀移而逐渐消失和发生再结晶形成多边形铁素体的次序进行的。     

Microstructure Evolution and Mechanical Hardening of Hypereutectoid Pearlitic Steel During Cold Rolling

The microstructure evolution of different cold rolling reductions (from 0 to 81.6%) was studied by SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and TEM (transmission electron microscope). The study showed that the orientation multiplicity of pearlitic lamellas resulted in inhomogeneous deformation of different pearlitic lamellas, and with the increase of reduction, the microstructure underwent a course of "homogeneity → inhomogeneity → homogeneity". The result of XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis indicated that cementite did not decompose and dissolve into ferrite; the results of the mechanical property test suggested that the relationship between Rp0.2 (yield strength) and ε (true strain) was in good agreement with Hollomon relationship. With the equation Rp0.2 = 1465ε0.18, the yield strength of the steel in different reductions could be well predicted.     

Finite Element Analysis for Microstructure Evolution in Hot Finishing Rolling of Steel Strips

A computer model that describes the evolution of microstructures during the hot finishing rolling of SS400 steel has been proposed. It has been found that the microstructure strongly depends on processing of materials and on their parameters,which affected the history of the thermomechanical variables,such as temperature,strain,and strain rate. To investigate the microstructural evolutions during the hot finishing rolling process,the rigid-thermoviscoplastic finite element method(FEM) has been combined with dynamic recrystallization,static recrystallization,and grain growth models. The simulation results show a good agreement with those from the prediction software online.
