A medium manganese steel designed for water quenching and partitioning

An aluminium-containing medium manganese steel has been designed to undergo intercritical annealing followed by quenching in water and subsequent partitioning. Water quenching, replacing the quenching temperature (QT) between 150 and 300°C in conventional quenching and partitioning steels, is therefore adopted in QP alloys, in order to guarantee the precise QT in practice. The low intercritical annealing temperature of 750°C refines both ferrite and prior austenite grains into submicron size. The large fraction of ultra-fine ferrite, as well as the transformation-induced plasticity effect of retained austenite, improves the overall ductility of this water-quenched and partitioned steel. The alloy has achieved excellent mechanical properties of 1130?MPa ultimate tensile strength combined with 19.2% total elongation.     

Microstructure and mechanical property of high strength Mg–Sn–Zn–Al alloys

This paper aims to reveal the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast and hot-rolled Mg–Sn–Zn–Al based alloys. Three alloys, Mg–5Sn–2Zn (TZ52), Mg–5Sn–2Zn–2Al (TAZ522) and Mg–5Sn–5Al–1Zn–0.2Mn (TAZM5510) alloys were studied. The results revealed that the as-cast alloys showed fine dendritic structures. The TAZM5510 alloys exhibited moderate yield strength of 98?MPa with good elongation of ～15%, which was comparable to several commercially used Mg die-castings. Mechanical properties were significantly improved after multi-pass rolling. The TZ52 sheet showed a high yield strength of 277?MPa with excellent ductility exceeding 30%, and the TAZM5510 sheet exhibited the highest tensile strength of 386?MPa while keeping desirable elongation of 16.6%. These sheets are termed as strong and ductile Mg–Sn–Zn–Al wrought alloys.     

Development of rapid heating and cooling (flash processing) process to produce advanced high strength steel microstructures

Abstract

Flash processing of an AISI8620 steel sheet, which involves rapid heating and cooling with an overall process duration of <10 s, produced a steel microstructure with a high tensile strength and good ductility similar to that of advanced high strength steels. Flash processed steel [ultimate tensile strength (UTS): 1694 MPa, elongation: 7·1%], showed at least 7% higher UTS and 30% greater elongation than published results on martensitic advanced high strength steel (UTS: 1585 MPa, elongation: 5·1%). The underlying microstructure was characterised with optical, scanning electron, transmission electron microscopy as well as hardness mapping. A complex distribution of bainitic and martensite microstructures with carbides was observed. A mechanism for the above microstructure evolution is proposed.     

变质细化和热处理对挤压铸造成形A356铝合金构件性能的影响

用Al-10Sr变质剂和Al-5Ti-B细化剂处理A356铝合金熔体,并结合挤压铸造和T6热处理工艺,研究变质细化与热处理对A356铝合金挤压铸造件的组织和性能的影响规律。结果表明,随着Al-10Sr变质剂加入量的增加,共晶Si的形貌由片状和长杆状变为颗粒状和蠕虫状,α-Al的晶粒尺寸先减少后增大。当Al-10Sr的加入量(质量分数)为0.3%时,挤压铸造成形件的最优抗拉强度、屈服强度和延伸率分别为221.3 MPa、104.5 MPa和10.3%。Al-10Sr变质能提高形核率、细化α-Al晶粒尺寸和改变共晶硅形貌,使铸造件的力学性能提高。随着A-5Ti-B的增加,晶粒尺寸先降后增,力学性能先增后降。Al-5Ti-B的加入量为0.6%时,最优抗拉强度、屈服强度和延伸率分别为215.6 MPa、106.6 MPa和9.0%。T6热处理(固溶540℃/4 h+时效190℃/4 h)使屈服强度和抗拉强度显著提高和延伸率降低。经过0.6% 的Al-5Ti-B细化处理,T6处理挤压铸造件的最优的抗拉强度、屈服强度和延伸率分别为297.5 MPa、239.3 MPa和8.0%。共晶硅的球化和细化、成形件成分的均匀化以及Mg₂Si强化相在基体中弥散析出,是热处理后构件力学性能提高的主要原因。

高强贝氏体基体钒微合金化TRIP钢的性能

对一种钒微合金化TRIP钢进行冷轧连续退火,研究了钢的组织特征和力学性能。结果表明,贝氏体基TRIP钢的组织由贝氏体/马氏体和少量的残余奥氏体组成。随着贝氏体区等温时间的延长,钢的抗拉强度下降,屈服强度和延伸率提高。残余奥氏体由块状向薄膜状转变,体积分数增加,薄膜状残余奥氏体主要分布在贝氏体板条间,厚度为50-90 nm。在400℃等温180 s连续退火钢板呈现出相对低抗拉强度(960 MPa)、高屈服强度(765 MPa)和高延伸率(22.0%)的特性,而且加工硬化指数(0.20)、各向异性指数(0.94)和强塑积(21120 MPa.%)也较为优良。     

450~780 MPa系列双相钢扩孔性能实验

目的避免双相钢在成形过程中经常出现的翻边或扩孔开裂的问题,提高生产效率。方法以几种强度级别为450~780 MPa的双相钢为实验对象,测试材料的单向拉伸和扩孔性能,并从微观组织上分析影响双相钢强度和扩孔性能的因素。结果 450~780 MPa强度级别双相钢的屈服强度随铁素体晶粒尺寸的减小而增加,抗拉强度随马氏体体积分数的增加呈近似线性增加。双相钢的扩孔性能随着材料强度的提高呈下降的趋势。DP500与DP450和DP600相比,抗拉强度(579 MPa)居中,伸长率最高,但由于其马氏体形态和分布的差异,其扩孔性能反而最低。结论双相钢的扩孔性能会受到马氏体的含量、尺寸、形态和分布的影响,与材料强度和伸长率没有必然的关系,当马氏体呈颗粒状均匀分布时,具有更好的扩孔性能。     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of as-built and heat-treated electron beam melted Ti–6Al–4V

This paper investigates the effect of post-deposition heat treatment on porosity, microstructure, and mechanical properties of Ti–6Al–4V produced via an Electron Beam Melting process. Samples were studied in the conditions of as-built and heat treated at 920°C and 1030°C. The as-built samples were characterised by columnar β grains consists of α+β microstructure with Widmanstätten and colony morphologies were found. Heat treatment resulted in increased α lath width. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength was greater in the as-built condition than wrought material. Porosity re-growth occurred after heat treatment but it did not affect the tensile properties. Greater ductility after heat treatment was attributed to the larger α lath width which increases effective slip length.

Microstructure and tensile properties of metal injection molding Co–29Cr–6Mo–0.23C alloy

The microstructure and tensile properties of a metal injection molding 0.23%C Co–Cr–Mo alloy (F75 alloy) were investigated. The as-sintered microstructure contains a significant amount of carbides, and is modified by solution annealing, the main effect being to reduce the amount of carbides. Ductility and ultimate tensile strength increase significantly, but yield strength decreases with solution annealing. Aging causes both intragranular and intergranular precipitation, which increases hardness and yield strength but decreases ductility excessively. In both as-sintered and solution-annealed conditions, the material displays noticeable work hardenability. By sintering at 1300 °C and solution annealing at 1220 °C, 440 MPa yield strength and 25% elongation at fracture are obtained.

Effect of inter-critical annealing parameters on ferrite recrystallization and austenite formation in DP 590 steel

This research investigates the effect of inter-critical annealing parameters on ferrite recrystallization and austenite formation during processing of a dual phase microstructure from a cold rolled low carbon steel. The main effort was to determine optimum annealing parameters for producing a desired ferrite-martensite dual phase microstructure in the steel for improved strength–ductility combination. A 57% cold rolled steel sheet was subjected to inter-critical annealing under different temperature–time conditions. Annealing temperatures were determined using Thermo-Calc. After annealing experiments, the resulting microstructures and corresponding hardness values were evaluated to determine ferrite recrystallization and austenite fraction under different conditions. The activation energy for ferrite recrystallization was 235.6?kJ/mol using standard Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov analysis. Experiments showed that inter-critical annealing parameters affect the phenomenon of ferrite recrystallization and austenite formation. It was observed that both the rate of ferrite recrystallization and austenite formation increase with an increase in annealing temperature. Finally, steel was annealed under conditions similar to industrial processing in an annealing simulator with the selected annealing parameters to obtain improved strength–percentage elongation combinations. The steel under these conditions showed significant improvements in strength–ductility combination (610?MPa–26%; 680?MPa–15%) with an ideal yield strength to an ultimate tensile strength ratio of 0.5.

Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Si-AI-Mn TRIP Steel with Niobium

Microstructure consisting of ferrite, bainite and retained austenite can be obtained through intercritical annealing and isothermal treatment in bainite transformation region for low silicon TRIP （transformation induced plasticity） steel containing niobium. Effects of strain rate, Nb content and soaking temperature in bainite region on microstructure and mechanical properties of test steels were investigated. It is shown that as strain rate ranges from 10^-2 to 10^-4 s^-1, the volume fraction of transformed martensite from retained austenite, as well as tensile strength, elongation rate and strength-ductility product, increases. When Nb is added, the volume fraction of retained austenite decreases, but tensile strength and yield strength increase. While Nb content reaches 0.014%, the steel exhibits high elongation and combination of strength and ductility. Higher retained austenite volume fraction and good mechanical properties are obtained in the test steels when the soaking temperature in bainite region is 400℃. The maximum values of tensile strength, total elongation rate and strength-ductility product can reach 739 MPa, 38% and 28082 MPa%, respectively.

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties at high temperature of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg

In this study,the microstructure and tensile properties of selective laser melted AlSilOMg at elevated temperature were investigated with focus on the interfacial region.In-situ SEM and in-situ EBSD analysis were proposed to characterize the microstructural evolution with temperature.The as-fabricated AlSilOMg sample presents high tensile strength with the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of~450 MPa and yield strength(YS)of~300 MPa,which results from the mixed strengthening mechanism among grain boundary,solid solution,dislocation and Orowan looping mechanism.When holding at the temperature below 200℃for 30 min,the micro structure presents little change,and only a slight decrement of yield strength appears due to the relief of the residual stress.However,when the holding temperature further increases to 300℃and 400℃,the coarsening and precipitation of Si particles inα-Al matrix occur obviously,which leads to an obvious decrease of solid solution strength.At the same time,matrix softening and the weakness of dislocation strengthening also play important roles.When the holding temperature reaches to 400℃,the yield strength decreases significantly to about 25 MPa which is very similar to the as-cast Al alloy.This might be concluded that the YS is dominated by the matrix materials.Because the softening mechanism counteracts work hardening,the extremely high elongation occurs.     

Enhanced tensile properties of 316L steel via grain refinement and low-strain rolling

Excellent strength–ductility synergy of metallic materials is significant for their industrial applications. This study presents a fine-grained 316L stainless sheet (average grain size of ～5?µm) with a good combination of strength and ductility achieved via low-strain cold rolling (rolling strain of 30%). The fabricated steel sheet exhibits maximum yield strength and ultimate tensile strength values of 1045 and 1080?MPa, respectively, with a uniform elongation of 7%. Experimental results confirm that the high density of dislocations, strain-induced martensitic phase, and deformation twins together contribute to the high strength of the rolled stainless steel. Moreover, its good ductility is attributable to the strain-induced martensitic transformation and deformation twins.
