一种耐海水腐蚀型超低碳贝氏体钢的研究

为了开发具有高强度、高韧性和耐海水腐蚀性的海洋工程用钢,考察了含磷超低碳贝氏体钢的组织、力学性能和耐海水腐蚀性.超低碳贝氏体钢中磷的质量分数提高至0.09%时能够产生较强的固溶强化作用,而对室温至-40℃范围内的低温冲击韧性影响不大,这归因于钢中C,B原子在原始奥氏体晶界通过竞争机制抑制了P的偏聚,减弱了P产生的冷脆性.与无磷和低磷含量超低碳贝氏体钢相比,高磷含量超低碳贝氏体钢在3.5%NaCl溶液中全浸腐蚀速率明显降低.Cu,P的复合作用促进了致密的内锈层的形成,有效阻止了Cl-的进一步侵蚀.     

淬火分配工艺对低碳低合金钢组织与性能的研究

研究了0.15C-Mn-Si-Cr低碳低合金钢在Ms点以下不同温度预淬火-碳分配工艺(QP工艺)及贝氏体转变对钢组织与性能影响。结果表明,实验钢经QP处理后获得贝氏体/马氏体复相组织,与淬火回火钢相比能获得更多的残余奥氏体量,随着淬火碳分配温度的升高,钢中残余奥氏体量增加,等温温度超过310℃后,钢中析出碳化物,残余奥氏体量减少。在250℃预淬火温度等温碳分配淬火,钢的冲击韧性显著高于传统的淬火回火钢。     

终轧温度对低碳Mn系贝氏体钢性能的影响

 Gleeble热模拟试验表明,低碳Mn系贝氏体钢随着变形温度降低,仿晶界铁素体和粒状贝氏体都发生了细化,冲击韧性显著提高。加Nb后的Mn系贝氏体钢在相同工艺下组织得到了进一步细化。实验室试轧数据表明,含Nb的Mn系贝氏体钢降低终轧温度后,韧性提高的幅度比不含Nb钢更大,工业化前景广阔。

采用相同轧制工艺试制低焊接裂纹敏感性钢,对比分析了微量硼元素对显微组织和力学性能的影响.结果表明:含硼钢的屈服强度和抗拉强度比无硼钢分别要高150和105MPa,但冲击韧性明显低于无硼钢.显微组织分析可知,硼的偏聚机制使组织中保留了明显的原始奥氏体晶界,并获得具有较大有效晶粒尺寸的板条贝氏体束,同时在贝氏体板条晶界上分...     

加热温度对X80钢级弯管用管线钢板冲击韧性的影响

根据X80钢级管线钢原始奥氏体晶粒尺寸随加热温度的变化规律,通过工业性试验研究了不同加热温度对冲击韧性的影响。结果表明:因加热温度过高获得的粗大原始奥氏体晶粒在变形后依然粗大,相变后获得的组织相对粗大,不同原始奥氏体晶粒间获得组织具有明显的取向差,同时可以清晰看到原始奥氏体晶界,冲击断口为解理断口,严重影响X80钢级管线钢的冲击韧性。而加热温度较低时,原始奥氏体晶粒细小,断口为韧窝状,具有良好的冲击韧性。

回火处理对一种低碳贝氏体钢组织及低温韧性的影响

对一种含硼的低碳贝氏体钢进行了不同工艺的回火处理,并通过室温拉伸、摆锤冲击实验和扫描电镜研究了回火处理对实验钢的晶粒尺寸、晶界比例、贝氏体板条块的演变及强韧性的影响。结果表明,回火处理可使实验钢屈服强度升高,低温韧性显著改善,高温回火后塑性提高。300T实验钢-20℃下断口为韧窝断裂和准解理组成的混合型断裂,而500T和650T实验钢断口为韧窝断裂,600℃出现回火脆性区间,韧性恶化,属混合型断裂。650T钢的低温韧性最优,较高的回火温度促进了小角度晶界的迁移、亚晶合并过程,亚板条块数量减少,大角度晶界的比例、数量提高,晶粒尺寸有效细化,同时单位面积内板条块数目显著增加,有效地钝化了裂纹,提高了低温韧性。     

低碳贝氏体钢的组织类型及其对性能的影响

低碳贝氏体钢受控冷工艺的影响会得到不同类型的组织，在较慢速冷却时，在奥氏体中先形成针状铁素体，残余奥氏体会被包裹在铁素体之中，形成粒状贝氏体团。工业轧制试验表明．不同控制冷却工艺可得到两类组织，一类出现黑珠组织(富碳马氏体组织)．具有该组织的钢轧态冲击韧性低。另外一类为细化的板条贝氏体组织，具有该组织的钢轧态强度高，冲击韧性好，但伸长率不足。通过回火处理，存在黑珠组织钢的冲击韧性能得到提高，超细化板条贝氏体组织钢的伸长率也能得到改善，但后者屈服强度会比前者高100MPa左右。     

硼对低焊接裂纹敏感性高强钢组织性能的影响

 分析了在控轧、控轧加回火、调质等不同工艺条件下,硼对低焊接裂纹敏感性钢显微组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明,硼抑制先共析铁素体形成,提高淬透性,在控轧工艺下含硼钢形成粗大的贝氏体和马氏体组织,并保留了原始奥氏体晶界;调质工艺得到回火索氏体组织,但含硼钢的大角度晶界比例与无硼钢相比较低。硼在强度上的作用显著,上述3种工艺下含硼钢的抗拉强度分别比无硼钢高300, 214, 101MPa,屈服强度分别高320,259,144MPa,但伸长率和冲击韧性均有所降低。无硼钢在调质工艺下、含硼钢在控轧加回火工艺下具有较好的强韧性匹配。     

Effect of Boron on the Isothermal Bainite Transformation

The role of Boron on the isothermal bainitic transformation in low-C, lean-alloyed steel was investigated. B clearly affected both the transformation kinetics and the morphology of isothermally transformed bainite. The effect of B was more noticeable in the high-temperature range of the bainitic transformation. The microstructure of bainite formed at 773 K (500 °C) consisted of a bainitic ferrite matrix and the martensite/austenite constituent. While the martensite/austenite constituent had an elongated morphology in B-free steel, the martensite/austenite constituents in the B-added steel had a granular morphology. Two types of bainite unit nucleation were considered: the initial nuclei and the nuclei formed on previously formed units. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis showed that the initial bainitic ferrite nuclei were formed at austenite grain boundaries with a Kurdjumov-Sachs (K-S) crystallographic orientation relationship with respect to one of the neighboring austenite grains, revealing the importance of interfacial energy reduction in the nucleation stage. The nuclei of the bainite transformation in the B-added steel were confined to the austenite grain interior, and the bainitic ferrite nuclei had crystallographic orientations limited to K-S variants within the same Bain variant. The characteristic bainite microstructure in B-added steel is due to the inhibition of the bainitic ferrite nucleation at austenite grain boundaries.     

不同工艺下低碳Mn-Si钢的组织与力学性能

通过Gleeble-1500热模拟压缩试验,借助光学显微镜、扫描电镜、X射线衍射及拉伸试验等,研究一种低碳Mn-Si钢在基于热轧动态相变的热轧TRIP钢工艺和基于贝氏体等温处理工艺下的组织与力学性能,比较了通过两种工艺获得的不同复相组织状态对材料的加工硬化能力的影响.结果表明:实验钢在基于动态相变的热轧TRIP钢工艺下获得了以细晶铁素体为基体和贝氏体、残余奥氏体组成的复相组织,而在基于贝氏体等温处理工艺下得到了以板条贝氏体为基体和残余奥氏体组成的复相组织,前者中残余奥氏体含量较高且其碳含量也较高.实验钢具有以板条贝氏体为基体的复相组织时屈服强度和抗拉强度较高;但由于残余奥氏体稳定性较差,实验钢的加工硬化能力较弱,导致其均匀延伸率和总延伸率较小.      

70Si3MnCrMo钢中贝氏体及其回火稳定性

 对一种新型70Si3MnCrMo钢进行了等温和连续冷却贝氏体相变热处理。利用拉伸和冲击试验研究试验钢的力学行为,利用XRD、SEM和TEM等方法对试验钢进行了相组成分析和微观组织形貌观察。研究结果表明,试验钢经等温贝氏体相变,其最佳综合力学性能出现在200 ℃回火,强塑积为26.4 GPa·%。经连续冷却贝氏体相变,其最佳综合力学性能出现在300 ℃回火,强塑积达到28.6 GPa·%。回火温度较低的情况下,热处理后的组织为由贝氏体铁素体和残余奥氏体组成的无碳化物贝氏体组织,这种无碳化物贝氏体由超细贝氏体铁素体板条而获得超高强度,由一定量的高碳残余奥氏体来保证较高的塑性和韧性。试验钢经连续冷却贝氏体相变,其贝氏体铁素体板条中出现了超细亚单元,并且残余奥氏体呈薄膜状和小块状两种形态分布于贝氏体铁素体板条之间,这两种形态残余奥氏体的稳定性不同。拉伸试样在变形过程中残余奥氏体持续发生TRIP效应,直至全部残余奥氏体都发生转变生成应变诱发马氏体,从而使钢得到更好的强、塑性配合,表现出十分优异的综合性能。     

Bainite Growth Behavior at Early Stage of Transformation in a High Carbon Silicon-Containing Steel

 The growth behavior at the early stage of bainitic transformation was investigated using optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electronic microscopy. The bainite was obtained by isothermal transformation at 200 ℃ only for a short time in a high carbon silicon-containing steel after austenitization at 200 ℃ only for 20 min. Transmission electronic microscopy shows that the bainite appears in the form of plates with a width of about 30 nm, and that the interface of the bainite leading tip is wedge shaped. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the bainite plates consist of single ferrite phase, with absence of carbides. The results confirm the occurrence of the moiré which suggests the existence of austenite grain boundaries at the bainite leading tip. Both the lateral growth and longitudinal growth of bainite have weak ability to traverse the lattice-distortion strain fields and austenite grain boundary. The austenite grain boundary impedes the longitudinal growth of the bainite plate, i. e. , the growth of bainite plate stops at the austenite grain boundary. The longitudinal growth of bainite associated with the features of shear mechanism can not completely be in accordance with that of martensitic transformation.     

Effects of Cooling Conditions on Microstructure, Tensile Properties, and Charpy Impact Toughness of Low-Carbon High-Strength Bainitic Steels

In this study, four low-carbon high-strength bainitic steel specimens were fabricated by varying finish cooling temperatures and cooling rates, and their tensile and Charpy impact properties were investigated. All the bainitic steel specimens consisted of acicular ferrite, granular bainite, bainitic ferrite, and martensite-austenite constituents. The specimens fabricated with higher finish cooling temperature had a lower volume fraction of martensite-austenite constituent than the specimens fabricated with lower finish cooling temperature. The fast-cooled specimens had twice the volume fraction of bainitic ferrite and consequently higher yield and tensile strengths than the slow-cooled specimens. The energy transition temperature tended to increase with increasing effective grain size or with increasing volume fraction of granular bainite. The fast-cooled specimen fabricated with high finish cooling temperature and fast cooling rate showed the lowest energy transition temperature among the four specimens because of the lowest content of coarse granular bainite. These findings indicated that Charpy impact properties as well as strength could be improved by suppressing the formation of granular bainite, despite the presence of some hard microstructural constituents such as bainitic ferrite and martensite-austenite.     

超低碳贝氏体钢快速加热奥氏体长大过程中移动晶界上硼的反常偏聚

利用径迹显微照相技术研究了超低碳贝氏体钢焊接热影响区在焊接热循环快速加热过程中硼在奥氏体晶界上的偏聚行为。发现以高密度位贝氏体为原始组织的材料进行快速加热时，新形成的奥氏体晶粒边界上在很高温度下仍会出现反常的晶界硼偏聚。用晶界位错驰原制对这种新的非平衡现象进行了讨论。     

Effect of phosphorus on the formation of retained austenite and mechanical properties in Si-containing low-carbon steel sheet

The effect of phosphorus and silicon on the formation of retained austenite has been investigated in a low-carbon steel cold rolled, intercritically annealed, and isothermally held in a temperature range of bainitic transformation followed by air cooling. The steel sheet containing phosphorus after final heat-treatment consisted of ferrite, retained austenite, and bainite or martensite. Phosphorus, especially in the presence of silicon, in steel was useful to assist the formation of retained austenite. Mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, uniform elongation, and the combination of tensile strength/ductility, were improved when phosphorus was increased up to 0.07 pct in 0.5 pct Si steel. This could be attributed to the strain-induced transformation of retained austenite during tensile deformation. Furthermore, two types of retained austenite were observed in P-containing steel. One is larger than about 1 μm in size and usually exists adjacent to bainite; the other one is of submicron size and usually exists in a ferrite matrix. High phosphorus content promotes the formation of stable (small size) austenites which are considered to be stabilized mainly by their small size effect and have a different formation mechanism from the coarser retained austenite in the lower P steels. The retained austenites of submicron size showed mechanical stability even after 10 pct deformation, suggesting that these small austenites have little effect on ductility. The 0.07 pct P-0.5 pct Si-1.5 pct Mn-0.12 pct C steel showed a high strength of 730 MPa and a total elongation of 36 pct.     

热轧态与回火态 AH80 DB 低碳贝氏体钢组织与冲击韧性

采用光学显微镜、扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜对热轧态和回火态AH80DB低碳贝氏体钢的显微组织、马氏体/奥氏体（M/A）岛、第二相的析出行为以及晶界取向差、有效晶粒尺寸进行研究,揭示回火后低碳贝氏体钢冲击韧性得到改善的原因.结果表明:两种试样的组织均由板条状贝氏体、粒状贝氏体和针状铁素体组成,其中回火态试样中针状铁素体组织较多.热轧态钢中存在较大尺寸M/A岛且呈方向性分布,大角度晶界比例占17.33%,有效晶粒尺寸为3.57μm;而回火态钢中M/A岛的尺寸较小,大角度晶界比例增加3.43%,有效晶粒尺寸减小0.56μm.热轧态钢中析出相主要是（Nb,Ti）C,尺寸在50~150 nm之间,回火态试样中析出较多细小的球状（Nb,Ti）C析出相,尺寸在10 nm左右.      

Mn-Series Low-Carbon Air-Cooled Bainitic Steel Containing Niobium of 0.02%

 A new hot-rolled low carbon air-cooling bainitic steel containing 0.02%Nb has been developed based on alloying design of the grain boundary allotriomorphic ferrite (FGBA)/ granular bainite (BG) duplex steel.The as-rolled microstructure and mechanical properties of 0.02%Nb bainitic steel were investigated by tensile test, X-ray diffraction(XRD),Optical Microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) ,and Transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results show that (1) The addition of 0.02% niobium improves the strength obviously without sacrificing toughness of the FGBA/BG steel. Compared with Non-Nb FGBA/ BG steel, 0.02% Nb increases the tensile strength and yield strength about 20% (From 780Mpa to 937Mpa)and 17%(From 557Mpa to 650Mpa) respectively, remaining 18% elongation and 83J Akv. (2) Small addition of Nb(0.02%) not only refines the allotriomorphic ferrite grain but also promotes the nucleation of intragranular ferrite, both of which in turn contribute to the refinement of granular bainite cluster including its ferrite platelets and M-A islands. Compared with Non-Nb steel, the volume fraction of M-A island in 0.02%Nb steel increases from 21% to 31%, and the average size of M-A island decreases from 1.2μm to 0.95um.(3)There is hardly any Nb(C,N) has been observed in 0.02%Nb steel. It is suggested that the strengthening effect of 0.02%Nb can be mainly attributed to the influence of the segregation of Nb to γ/α phase boundaries(solute drag-like effect) on the phase transformation rather than the precipitation strengthening of Nb(C,N).     

Bainite morphologies in a 0.2 C–1.5 Mn steel

The isothermal transformation products of austenite over a wide range of temperatures and times in the bainitic range in a 0.2 wt.% C–1.5 wt.% Mn steel have been studied by transmission electron microscopy in order to characterise the bainitic microstructures in low-carbon low-alloy steels. Widmanstätten ferrite has formed with alternate layers of austenite (martensite) as a transition product at 600 and 500°C that has finally transformed on further isothermal transformation to either pearlite (at 600°C) or upper bainite (at 500°C). This type of transformation product was referred to as BI bainite by earlier investigators, but on the basis of the present investigation it is concluded that such ferrite-austenite (martensite) structures are not bainitic as this is not the final transformation product either at 600 or 500°C. Both upper bainite and lath-type lower bainite are formed at 450°C while the transformation product has been only lath-type lower bainite at 400°C.
