锰对贝氏体钢中残余奥氏体回火稳定性的影响

为探索锰含量的变化(锰质量分数为0.1%(0.1Mn钢)和1.5%(1.5Mn钢))对无碳化物贝氏体钢中残余奥氏体(RA)回火稳定性的影响,利用扫描电镜(SEM)、电子背散射衍射(EBSD)及透射电镜(TEM)等试验方法对残余奥氏体稳定性和力学性能的变化规律进行研究。结果表明,0.1Mn钢的热轧态组织主要是由粒状贝氏体(GB)+板条贝氏体(LB)组成,而1.5Mn钢的热轧态组织主要以板条贝氏体为主,且1.5Mn钢中残余奥氏体含量较高,屈服强度和抗拉强度均优于0.1Mn钢。在经过300～500℃回火后,残余奥氏体体积分数逐渐下降至完全分解,屈服强度和抗拉强度均表现为先升高后降低,但伸长率逐步增加。300℃回火性能最佳,原因主要是由于残余奥氏体在300℃回火中,块状残余奥氏体分解为过饱和马氏体/贝氏体,碳从过饱和马氏体/贝氏体中扩散至邻近残余奥氏体中使其含量增加,热稳定性得到提高,在拉伸的过程中产生了TRIP效应,从而使试验钢的强塑性得到提升。1.5Mn钢的性能明显优于0.1Mn钢,因为锰可以与碳产生协同作用共同促进奥氏体的稳定,提高伸长率,另外锰含量的增加使碳当量也提高,强度增强。基于修...

Q&P工艺研究现状

 介绍一种马氏体钢淬火＋分配（Quenching and Partitioning）的热处理工艺即钢经奥氏体化后淬火到Ms-Mf间的某一温度形成一定量的马氏体和未转变奥氏体,然后在这个温度或高于此温度保温,使马氏体中的碳扩散至未转变奥氏体使之稳定化,最后淬火至室温得到由马氏体和残余奥氏体组成的混合组织,可以改善钢的性能。本文就该工艺的提出、热力学、动力学、试验参数对残余奥氏体的量和形态的影响以及力学性能等方面进行概述。

Chromium partitioning during the austenite-pearlite transformation

Partitioning of chromium between cementite and ferrite during the austenite to pearlite transformation in a eutectoid steel containing 1.29 pct chromium has been studied using analytical electron microscopy. No partitioning occurred at the austenite-pearlite interface below 703°C (the no-partition temperature), while above this temperature chromium partitioned preferentially to cementite at the transformation front. Chromium segregation to cementite occurred at all transformation temperatures after pearlite had formed. Measurements of pearlite growth rate and interlamellar spacing have been made for a range of transformation temperatures, and used to examine the rate controlling process for pearlite growth below the no-partition temperature. Growth rates calculated assuming volume diffusion of carbon to be rate controlling were in reasonable agreement with measured growth rates, although the discrepancies between the rates could be accounted for by the partial involvement of interfacial diffusion.

Effects of Initial Structure and Reversion Temperature on Austenite Nucleation Site in Pearlite and Ferrite–Pearlite

Austenite nucleation sites were investigated in near-eutectoid 0.8 mass pct C steel and hypoeutectoid 0.4 mass pct C steel samples with full pearlite and ferrite–pearlite initial structures, respectively. In particular, the prior austenite grain size had been coarsened to compare grain boundaries in the hierarchical pearlite structure, i.e., the low-angle pearlite colony and high-angle block boundaries with ferrite/pearlite interfaces in the austenite nucleation ability. When the full pearlite in 0.8 mass pct C steel underwent reversion at a relatively low temperature, austenite grains preferentially formed at pearlite block boundaries. Consequently, when the full pearlite with the coarse block structure underwent reversion just above the eutectoid temperature, the reversion took a long time due to the low nucleation density. However, austenite grains densely formed at the pearlite colony boundaries as well, as the reversion temperature became sufficiently high. On the other hand, when ferrite–pearlite in the 0.4 mass pct C steel underwent reversion to austenite, the ferrite/pearlite interface acted as a more preferential austenite nucleation site than the pearlite block boundary even in the case of low-temperature reversion. From these results, it can be concluded that the preferential austenite nucleation site in carbon steels is in the following order: ferrite/pearlite interface?>?pearlite block?>?colony boundaries. In addition, orientation analysis results revealed that ferrite restricts the austenite nucleation more strongly than pearlitic ferrite does, which contributes to the preferential nucleation at ferrite/pearlite interfaces. This suggests that austenite grains formed at a ferrite/pearlite interface tend to have an identical orientation even under high-temperature reversion. Therefore, it is thought that the activation of austenite nucleation within pearlite by increasing the reversion temperature may be effective for rapid austenitization and the grain refinement of austenite structure after the completion of reversion in carbon steels.     

Deformation induced pearlite transformation and dynamic spheroidization in a eutectoid steel

The microstructure evolution of a eutectoid steel during the deformation induced pearlite transformation of undercooled austenite was investigated by uniaxial hot compression simulation experiment. The effects of different deformation degree, deformation rates and deformation temperature on the deformation induced pearlite transformation were explored. The results indicate that the induced pearlite transformation can occur rapidly during the deformation, for the stress accelerates phase transition. With the increase of the deformation degree, the dislocation density and phase transition driving force in the microstructure are improved, accelerating the occurrence of phase transition and the process of cementite spheroidization. For the diffusion- controlled phase transition, the deformation rates decrease to prolong the deformation time, so the carbon atoms can diffuse sufficiently to obtain spheroidized cementite. At lower deformation temperature from A1 to Ar1, significant refinement of the fragmentation of cementite occurs due to the increase of supercooling and spheroidized time. The ultrafine microstructure of cementite particles can be obtained through the high deformation degree, low deformation rates and low deformation temperature. It is also observed that the pro- eutectoid ferrite nucleates along the austenite boundary in the process of deformation.     

Dilatation measurements of plain carbon steels and their thermodynamic analysis

Dilatation of the low-carbon steels with small additions of mass contents of Mn (up to 1.50%), Si (up to 0.347%), Nb (up to 0.053%), and V (up to 0.082%), was measured at a heating rate of 3°C/min, and the experimental results were compared with calculations based on thermodynamic models. The differences between experiments and calculations were analysed. It was found that the thermal expansion of pearlite and of austenite in the steels exhibits almost linear temperature dependencies, and these dependencies are described very well by the present calculations. During the transformation of pearlite to austenite, contraction of the steels may occur due to the dissolution of cementite within a narrow temperature range. The dilatation of the steels during the transformation of ferrite to austenite depends on the competition between the thermal expansion and the transformation process, and it finally leads to an increase in the length change to a maximum followed by a decrease down to the temperature at which the transformation is completed. For some steels, however, a certain amount of ferrite may remain in the samples during heating even at temperatures well above that of the minimum dilatation. This will affect the determination of the A₃ temperature, and makes the expansion of the steels deviate from the true expansion behaviour of austenite.     

Effect of Warm-Rolled Pearlite Microstructural Features on Austenitic Transformation

The austenite transformation characteristics for various warm-rolled pearlite during rapid heating were investigated. The results indicate that the start temperature (Ts) is sensitive to the microstructural feature of pearlite,whereas the dislocation plays an important role in the transformation rate; at the same time, the uniformity of austenite grains is more or less affected by the amount of spheroidized pearlite. A critical effect on the state of austenite grain is created through the influence of initial microstructures on the start temperature of transformation.     

Pearlite spheroidization by thermomechanical treatment of directly charged thin slabs

Considering coarse initial austenite grain and the reduced thickness of directly charged thin slabs, a modified thermomechanical treatment was carried out on an unalloyed engineering steel with 0.66% C. For the laboratory simulation to determine the microstructural and mechanical properties a continuous casting simulator linked with the hot deformation simulator (Wumsi) were used. The aim of these tests was to study the process of the strain induced spheroidization of lamellar pearlite in order to improve the cold deformability of the steel, taking account of the particular conditions of direct charging. By the Variation of hot rolling deformation schedules, the influence of austenite grain size, pearlite interlamellar spacing as well as strain and strain temperature were investigated. The spheroidization process was mostly influenced by the strain applied just after finished pearlite transformation. Improving both strength and ductility by increasing fraction of spheroidized pearlite was supported by a smaller pearlite interlamellar spacing before deformation. A coarse austenite grain hardly affects the spheroidization process and brings about no impairment of mechanical properties, which makes this processing particularly attractive for direct charging of thin slabs. Moreover, a finely spheroidized pearlite exerts structural similarities to a tempered martensite, concerning distribution, shape and size of the cementite, accordingly leading to comparable mechanical properties. This justifies such modified hot rolling to be accepted as a potential substitution for the conventional post-rolling quench and tempering of high carbon steel products.     

82B高速线材拉拔过程中显微组织的演变分析

借助扫描电子显微镜(SEM)观察分析研究了82B线材在拉拔过程中显微组织和芯部马氏体的演变规律。分析认为:由于索氏体属于细片状珠光体,拉拔变形时,承受滑移的铁素体相不易引起应力集中;渗碳体相为细薄片层形态,也能够发生塑性变形,经过多道次的拉拔,索氏体基体变形量较大,没有出现任何裂纹。而芯部由偏析形成的马氏体,其塑性变形能力明显低于索氏体,基本无变形,在基本拉应力和附加拉应力的共同作用下,在早期拉拔时就在芯部出现裂纹,在后期拉拔过程中,裂纹沿着拉拔方向不断扩展。为减少断丝,可采用加大吹风量、扩大连铸坯、控制钢水过热度、增加电磁搅拌等工艺,来提高索氏体含量和细化渗碳体片层及预防马氏体的形成,以提高拉拔性能。     

共析轨钢塑性应变与应变疲劳关系的研究

用全反向恒应变幅试验方法,研究了C-Mn轨钢珠光体及回火索氏体的应变疲劳行为,探讨了塑性应变在应变疲劳中的作用。试验结果表明,轨钢的疲劳是塑性应变控制过程。大应变幅时,疲劳寿命的急剧缩短与塑性应变幅的快速增长有关,减小片间距会降低塑性应变幅在总应变幅中所占比例;抗拉强度相等时,因循环软化而致的塑性应变幅增大及较小的可允许应变范围是回火索氏体疲劳寿命低于珠光体的主要原因。     

剧烈塑性变形对珠光体钢丝奥氏体转变的影响

Possibilities of influencing the γ-α-transformation products of hot-rolled pearlitic steels

Controlled alloying, optimum configuration of the rolling schedules, and a suitable cooling strategy make it possible to broadly influence the microstructure and mechanical properties of higher-carbon steels. Increasing the manganese content and microalloying with vanadium delay the diffusion-controlled γ-α-transformation, and the increase in the amount of pearlite improves strength properties. Lowering of the finishing temperature refines the austenite microstructure, and increases the level of residual strengthening that remains in the austenite. This changes the amount of ferrite and improves the resistance to brittle fracture. Applying a cooling interruption step in the ferrite formation temperature range also permits an additional variation of the amount of ferrite. The extent to which recalescence develops during the formation of pearlite can bring about significant changes in the pearlite morphology and hence influence strength and toughness properties. Accelerated cooling to a low coiling temperature, as a further process-related modification, promotes the formation of bainite, obtaining high strength properties without any mentionable loss of toughness.
