TRIP-相变诱发塑性钢的研究进展

相变诱发塑性钢是一种汽车用钢，通过相变诱发塑性(TRIP)效应使钢板中残余奥氏体在塑性变形作用下诱发马氏体生核和形成，并产生局部硬化，继而变形不再集中在局部，使相变均匀扩散到整个材料以提高钢板的强度和塑性。典型TRIP钢c含量为0．2％，Mn 1％～2％，Si 1％～2％，通过热轧变形热处理或冷轧 热处理，TRIP钢的组织由50％～60％铁素体，25％～40％贝氏体或少量马氏体和5％-15％残余奥氏体组成。TRIP钢的强度和韧性高于双相钢和微合金钢。介绍了TRIP钢的生产工艺和性能，残余奥氏体、合金元素、热处理对TRIP效应的影响和TRIP钢研究趋势。     

双相钢中相硬化和相软化现象

本文对铁素体加马氏体及奥氏体加马氏体两类双相钢中软相(铁素体、奥氏体)的相硬化及硬相(马氏体)的相软化现象进行了研究。结果表明,软相的硬化及硬相的软化是双相钢中普遍存在的现象。在铁素体—马氏体双相钢中,铁素体的相硬化原因是奥氏体向马氏体转变时由于体积效应致使铁素体产生塑性变形,造成较高的位错密度,从而提高了硬度。马氏体相软化的原因较为复杂:①双相钢中马氏体内孪晶数量较相同含碳量的单相马氏体为少;②马氏体内靠近铁素体处位错密度偏低。在马氏体岛内存在一些不规则形状的铁素体微区,也是造成马氏体实测硬度偏低的一个原因。     

加载方向对TRIP双相不锈钢板带拉伸性能的影响

 为了研究加载方向对一种TRIP型双相不锈钢板带力学性能的影响,利用拉伸试验机研究了加载方向与轧制方向分别成0°、45°和90°条件下试验钢板带的拉伸变形行为。利用EBSD、TEM、XRD等分析手段对比研究了不同加载方向下形变组织演化的特点及形变诱导马氏体相变动力学规律,探讨了作用机理。结果表明,试验钢表现出明显的各向异性,其中各方向塑性和抗拉强度(由高到低)的变化规律为0°＞45°＞90°,但屈服强度对加载方向不敏感。钢中奥氏体相发生了形变诱导马氏体相变,主要演化机制为γ→ε→α′,从而形成TRIP效应。0°加载有助于TRIP效应的发生与发展,而90°加载时,两相间的应变配分延迟了马氏体相变的进程,抑制了TRIP效应。通过回归分析分别建立了不同加载方向下形变诱导马氏体相变动力学模型,可实现各加载方向下不同变形阶段马氏体转变量的预测。     

TRIP钢单向拉伸过程的组织转变特性

采用XRD和TEM研究了低碳低合金相变诱导塑性(TRIP)钢在单向拉伸状态下的组织转变特性.用Rietveld方法拟合分析了不同应变量下TRIP钢中残余奥氏体(RA)的含量.结果表明,试验中TRIP钢中RA转变量(RA-M)随塑性应变量的增大而增加.TRIP钢变形前的组织为铁素体、贝氏体和残余奥氏体,残余奥氏体主要以晶间薄片状、块状和位于铁素体晶内的细小颗粒状三种形态存在.经拉伸变形后,晶问块状或薄片状RA在应力作用下转变为孪晶结构的马氏体,铁索体晶内的细小颗粒状RA则未发现马氏体相变,但其周围会塞积高密度位错.     

固溶温度对17Cr-1Ni-3Mn-0.12N经济型不锈钢组织及力学性能影响

针对一种新成分体系17Cr经济型不锈钢，通过室温拉伸试验、显微组织观察、X射线衍射等手段，研究了不同固溶温度对17Cr不锈钢显微组织和力学性能的影响，遴选出最佳的热处理温度区间，同时明确了固溶温度对该类型不锈钢奥氏体稳定性的影响。结果表明，17Cr不锈钢在900～1 000℃固溶处理会发生上下屈服，1 200℃固溶处理不发生相变诱导塑性(TRIP)效应，其最佳的固溶处理温度区间为1 050～1 150℃。不同固溶温度处理后试验钢均呈现铁素体、奥氏体和马氏体三相并存的组织；随着固溶温度升高，淬火马氏体相变发生率先降后增，奥氏体的热力学稳定性先升高后下降，同时TRIP效应减弱、抗拉强度降低、断后伸长率提高，奥氏体力学稳定性升高。分析拉伸试样断口可知，试样由马氏体处起裂呈解理断裂，而铁素体在断裂过程中阻碍了裂纹扩展。本研究为经济型双相不锈钢成分及显微组织设计提供了新的思路和理论基础。     

回火对C-Si-Mn系双相钢组织与性能的影响

在实验室研究了回火温度对C-Si-Mn双相钢力学性能与显微组织的影响.力学性能测定结果表明,250℃以下的低温回火,对改善双相钢的伸长率具有良好作用,但是其它力学性能的变化不明显.高于300℃的高温回火对改善双相钢的延性作用不大,但会引起双相钢的屈服强度升高,抗拉强度、加工硬化与烘烤硬化值降低,使双相钢性能恶化.扫描电镜与透射电镜的观察结果表明,低温回火双相钢的显微组织变化不明显,马氏体为板条状,马氏体前沿的铁素体基体中分布着大量的可动位错,高温回火双相钢的显微组织则有较大变化,马氏体分解,边界变得模糊,岛内出现碳化物颗粒,铁素体中的位错密度减小,位错线附近出现粗大的析出物.高温回火后,马氏体的分解软化以及铁素体中位错密度减小是导致双相钢性能恶化的主要原因.     

7.9Mn-1.4Si-0.07C钢高强韧机理研究

通过热轧、温轧、奥氏体化、两相区退火处理得到7.9Mn-1.4Si-0.07C钢板,该材料的拉伸强度及塑性随奥氏体化温度不同而具有显著差异.奥氏体化温度降低,室温下奥氏体含量升高,综合力学性能提高.当奥氏体化温度由900℃降低为800℃时,所得到钢板的奥氏体体积分数由15%增加到28%,拉伸强度由1 150 MPa提高到1 340 MPa,塑性由21%提高至27%.实验钢优异的力学性能源于其中大量的超细铁素体及奥氏体,细晶强化使其具有超高强度,铁素体基体及变形过程中奥氏体向马氏体相变提供了良好的塑性.基体组织中的位错强化,形变诱导马氏体转变的TRIP效应等是增强该钢板加工硬化能力的主要因素.     

形变过程中TRIP效应的相变热动态研究

采用拉伸与测温试验同时进行的方法,将应力应变曲线与热能曲线相结合,动态研究热轧TRIP钢拉伸过程中的相变热.研究表明:热轧TRIP钢在拉伸过程中材料增加的热能由部分转变的塑性功和马氏体相变热组成,因此,拉伸过程中实际测得的试样热能高于由塑性功转变的热能.利用平均综合热能损失系数对低速拉伸的TRIP钢的热能进行补充,通过计算与推导,证实了试样在刚进入塑性变形时,一定数量的较不稳定残余奥氏体首先集中发生马氏体相变,随着应变的进一步加大,剩余的较稳定的残余奥氏体根据其稳定情况发生马氏体相变的数量逐渐减少,在试样均匀延伸结束前绝大部分残余奥氏体已转变为马氏体.结合相变热变化可动态描述热轧TRIP钢形变过程中马氏体相变的情况.      

热轧DP600汽车用钢的微观结构特征与力学性能

为了研究热轧DP600汽车用钢的微观结构特征及力学性能,使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)等分析了试验钢的组织、夹杂物及位错结构等,借助万能拉伸试验机测试了试验钢的强度与塑性。结果表明,热轧DP600汽车用钢的组织是铁素体+马氏体,随着应变量的增加,位错密度增加,位错缠结更为严重,在夹杂物与基体界面处、铁素体晶界处萌生微孔,马氏体发生断裂。热轧DP600试验钢的屈服强度为394.9 MPa,抗拉强度为641.6 MPa,塑性应变指数为0.154,屈强比为0.616,力学性能超过同级别的冷轧退火双相钢板指标。     

粉末冶金双相不锈钢中显微结构的控制

含铬质量百分比11%的粉末冶金不锈钢高温时具有奥氏体/铁素体双相结构,冷却后奥氏体转变为马氏体,而铁素体不转变,控制马氏体与铁素体的比例,可改变材料的性能,因而可根据需要控制生产粉末冶金奥氏体/铁素体双相不锈钢材料的性能,使这些双相钢既具有马氏体材料的高强度和硬度,又具有铁素体钢的抗腐蚀、塑性和焊接性能。调节马氏体与铁素体的比例可以通过改变材料的化学成分实现,一般对于锻造材料来说公式(1)表示了合金元素与Km 值之间的关系,式中正号表示增加铁素体,负号表示增加马氏体,Km 值<8为10 0 %马氏体,Km 值>10为10 0 %铁素体,Km …     

Development of Ultrahigh Strength TRIP Steel Containing High Volume Fraction of Martensite and Study of the Microstructure and Tensile Behavior

A new transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steel containing high volume fraction of martensite was produced by austempering heat treatment cycle. Microstructure and tensile properties of this TRIP steel were investigated and compared to those of a dual phase (DP) steel with high martensite volume fraction. Microstructural analysis showed a mixture of ferrite, bainite, retained austenite and about 25–30 vol% of martensite in the TRIP steel. As a result of the strain induced transformation of retained austenite to martensite, the TRIP steel showed a strength elongation balance of 86% higher than that for the DP steel. In comparison to the commercial TRIP780 steel, the current TRIP steel showed a 15% higher ultimate tensile strength value while maintaining the same level of ductility. TRIP steel also had a larger work hardening exponent than DP steel at all strains.     

Low cycle fatigue of a high strength metastable austenitic steel

The low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of a high strength, metastable austenitic steel called TRIP steel has been studied. High strain LCF experiments on cylindrical, well-polished specimens under diametral strain control were carried out. To study the effect of a mixed austenite-martensite matrix, LCF tests were also done on the TRIP steel after inducing significant amounts of martensite in the austenite matrix by means of a very high unidirectional prestrain. To establish the role played by the martensite transformation, tests were also run above the M_D. The amount of martensite induced was magnetically measured by means of a “permeameter” built specifically for this purpose. It was found that the LCF life of the TRIP steel, both at room temperature (in the presence of martensitic transformation) and at 200°C (in the absence of the transformation), was related to the plastic strain range, ε_PR, by the Manson-Coffin law. Either cyclic hardening or softening occurred at room temperature, depending primarily upon the plastic strain range used in cycling. Hardening was observed below 3 pct plastic strain range. For LCF tests at 200°C, cyclic softening was observed in all cases. The hardening and softening behavior has been found to depend on the martensitic transformation taking place in these steels during cycling. However, the LCF life correlated best to the percent reduction in area, independent of the extent of the martensite transformation.     

In‐situ Synchrotron XRD Analysis of the Effect of Static Strain Aging on the Elasto‐plastic Transition in CMnSi TRIP Steel

In situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction was used to investigate the martensitic transformation kinetics, lattice straining and diffraction peak broadening in cold‐rolled TRIP steel during tensile testing. Direct evidence of stress‐strain partitioning between different phases, dislocation pinning and differences in yielding behaviour of the different phases were clearly observed. The TRIP steel was subjected to a bake‐hardening treatment and a pronounced static strain aging effect was observed. In the present work, the martensitic transformation kinetics and the elastic micro‐strain evolution for both ferrite and retained austenite during the elasto‐plastic transition are reported with an emphasis on bake‐hardening with and without pre‐straining.     

固溶温度对节约型双相不锈钢TRIP/TWIP行为的影响

 通过微拉伸、电子背散射（EBSD）、透射电子显微镜（TEM）等手段,研究了具有亚稳奥氏体相的节约型双相不锈钢在1 000～1 200 ℃范围内不同固溶温度下的组织与性能的演变规律;探讨了固溶温度对形变诱导塑性（TRIP/TWIP）的作用机制。结果表明,随着固溶温度的升高,抗拉强度与伸长率均先升高后降低,而亚稳奥氏体相比例由74%（1 000 ℃）降低到37%（1 200 ℃）;1 050 ℃固溶时,试验钢表现出最佳综合性能,抗拉强度达到960 MPa,伸长率达到62%,强塑积达到60 GPa·%。在经拉伸变形的微观结构中形变诱导马氏体与形变孪晶共存,表明试验钢中亚稳奥氏体相的变形机制主要受TRIP及TWIP共同控制,从而导致其塑性变形过程呈现多阶段应变硬化特征,而钢中铁素体相的变形机制主要变形为位错的滑移。     

Behavior of an Austenitic–Martensitic VNS9-Sh Sheet TRIP Steel during Static and Cyclic Deformation

The properties of austenitic–martensitic VNS9-Sh (23Kh15N5AM3-Sh) sheet TRIP steel during static and cyclic loading are studied. The specific features of the mechanical behavior of the steel during static tension that are related to shearing, twinning, and martensite formation processes are detected. The static stress–strain curve of the steel has a developed microyield stage, a long yield plateau, and a serrated stage of strain hardening (Portevin–Le Chatelier effect). The shear mechanisms at the initial stages of cyclic deformation and fatigue crack propagation mechanisms are investigated.     

Mechanical Property and Microstructural Characterization of C-Mn-Al-Si Hot Dip Galvanizing TRIP Steel

 Mechanical properties and microstructure in high strength hot dip galvanizing TRIP steel were investigated by optical microscope (OM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dilatometry and mechanical testing. On the heat treatment process of different intercritical annealing (IA) temperatures, isothermal bainitic transformation (IBT) temperatures and IBT time, this steel shows excellent mechanical properties with tensile strength over 780 MPa and elongation more than 22%. IBT time is a crucial factor in determining the mechanical properties as it confirms the bainite transformation process, as well as the microstructure of the steel. The microstructure of the hot dip galvanizing TRIP steel consisted of ferrite, bainite, retained austenite and martensite during the short IBT time. The contents of ferrite, bainite, retained austenite and martensite with different IBT time were calculated. The results showed that when IBT time increased from 20 to 60 s, the volume of bainite increased from 14.31% to 16.95% and the volume of retained austenite increased from 13.64% to 16.28%; meanwhile, the volume of martensite decreased from 7.18% to 1.89%. Both the transformation induced plasticity of retained austenite and the hardening of martensite are effective, especially, the latter plays a dominant role in the steel containing 7.18% martensite which shows similar strength characteristics as dual-phase steel, but a better elongation. When martensite volume decreases to 1.89%, the steel shows typical mechanical properties of TRIP, as so small amount of martensite has no obvious effect on the mechanical properties.     

Development of high strength low alloy TRIP‐aided steels with annealed martensite matrix

Formable high‐strength low‐alloy TRIP‐aided sheet steels with annealed martensite matrix or TRIP‐aided annealed martensitic steel were developed for automotive applications. The steels possessed a large amount of plate‐like retained austenite along annealed martensite lath boundary, the stability of which against the strain‐induced transformation was higher than that of the conventional TRIP‐aided dual‐phase steel with polygonal ferrite matrix. In a tensile strength range between 600 and 1000 MPa, the TRIP‐aided annealed martensitic steels exhibited superior large elongation and reduction of area. In addition, the steels possessed the same excellent stretch‐flangeability and bendability as TRIP‐aided bainitic steel with bainitic ferrite matrix. These properties were discussed by matrix structure, a strength ratio of second phase to matrix, retained austenite stability, internal stress in matrix and so on.     

退火温度对超细晶中锰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,在钢板连续退火模拟机CCT-AY-域上研究了590~710℃不同退火温度下保温3 min对低碳中锰钢组织性能的影响.利用扫描电镜、透射电镜、电子背散射衍射和X射线能谱分析等微观分析方法对实验钢进行了组织结构和成分表征,利用X射线衍射法测量了残余奥氏体量,通过拉伸试验机测试了钢的单轴拉伸性能.结果表明:保温3 min时,随着保温温度的升高,残奥含量先增加后减少.在650℃退火时断后伸长率（21.3%）和强塑积（28 GPa·%）获得最大值,抗拉强度达到1330 MPa.马氏体基体通过回复,而残余奥氏体通过孪晶,获得超细晶组织.亚稳奥氏体的TRIP效应和超细晶铁素体（马氏体）共同提供了实验钢高的塑性.实验钢真实应力-应变曲线上呈现锯齿状现象,且稳定阶段加工硬化指数远高于传统TRIP钢.      

淬火温度对不同铬含量的低碳马氏体不锈钢组织和性能的影响

摘要：为研究淬火温度对不同铬含量的马氏体不锈钢组织和性能的影响,采用高温共聚焦显微镜(CLSM)、光镜(OM)、扫描电镜(SEM)、万能拉伸机、显微硬度计等方法对材料组织和性能进行了测试及表征。随着淬火温度的升高,不锈钢淬火后的晶粒尺寸都变大,计算确定了13%Cr和14%Cr不锈钢的晶界迁移能分别为113.62和125.92J/mol。13%Cr不锈钢经过淬火后显微组织为板条马氏体,回火后的组织为回火马氏体。但是,14%Cr不锈钢在1200℃淬火后生成了板条马氏体和少量的高温铁素体,并且在回火后高温铁素体并未消失,会对后续性能产生影响。淬火温度对不锈钢的强度影响不大。不锈钢中的铬质量分数从13%增加至14%,马氏体不锈钢强度增加,但伸长率有所降低。马氏体不锈钢的硬度随淬火温度的升高而下降,这主要与晶粒尺寸有关。
