Ms以下温度等温淬火对中碳贝氏体钢相变和性能影响

摘要：设计了马氏体起始相变温度（Ms）以上和以下2个不同温度等温淬火试验，结合热膨胀仪、扫描电镜显微组织、X光衍射和拉伸试验等试验手段，研究了对比于Ms以上温度等温淬火试验，Ms以下等温淬火对中碳贝氏体钢相变、组织和性能的影响。结果表明，贝氏体相变可以发生在Ms温度以下，且其相变动力学被明显促进。相比于Ms以上温度等温淬火，Ms温度以下等温淬火虽然可以加速相变动力学，但导致强度和伸长率下降，因此降低了最终的力学性能。这主要是因为Ms温度以下等温淬火试样组织内部出现了大量的回火无热马氏体（AM）和少量的贝氏体和残余奥氏体（RA）。因此，Ms温度以下等温淬火热处理后的组织性能未必优于Ms温度以上等温处理后组织性能，这主要取决于具体的成分和工艺。     

Effects of Ni on microstructures and properties of high carbon nano- structured bainite steels

Two bainite steels with and without Ni were designed and austempering treatments at different temperatures were conducted. The purpose is to study the effects of Ni on the transformation behavior, microstructure and properties of austempered nano- structured bainite steels. The results show that Ni addition decreases the bainite transformation driving force during austempering treatment, and consequently decreases the bainite amount. Besides, Ni addition moves the TTT curve towards right and decreases the transformation kinetics of isothermal bainite transformation. This is different from the effect of Ni during continuous cooling. In addition, Ni addition increases the impact property after austempering treatment, but the tensile property decreases with Ni addition due to the decrease in bainite amount and the increase in retained austenite amount. Moreover, the product of strength and elongation increases slightly with the increase in transformation temperature in both Ni free and Ni added steels.     

The Effect of Graphite Fraction and Morphology on the Plastic Deformation Behavior of Cast Irons

The plastic deformation behavior of cast irons, covering the majority of graphite morphologies, has not been comprehensively studied previously. In this investigation, the effect of graphite morphology and graphite fraction on the plastic deformation behavior of pearlitic cast irons has been evaluated. The investigation is based on tensile tests performed on various different cast iron grades, where the graphite morphology and volume fraction have been varied. Pearlitic steel with alloying levels corresponding to the cast irons were also studied to evaluate how the cast iron matrix behaves in tension without the effects of the graphite phase. It is concluded that as the roundness of the graphite phase increases, the strain hardening exponent decreases. This demonstrates that the amount of plastic deformation is higher in the matrix of lamellar cast iron grades compared to compacted and nodular cast iron grades. Furthermore, this study shows that the strength coefficient in flake graphite cast irons increases as the graphite fraction decreases due to the weakening effect of the graphite phase. This study presents relationships between the strain hardening exponent and the strength coefficient and the roundness and fraction of the graphite phase. Using these correlations to model the plastic part of the stress-strain curves of pearlitic cast irons, we were able to calculate curves in good agreement with experimentally determined curves, especially for gray cast irons and ductile iron.     

Influence of Temperature and Strain Rate on Tensile Deformation and Fracture Behavior of P92 Ferritic Steel

Tensile tests were performed at strain rates ranging from 3.16 × 10^?5 to 1.26 × 10^?3 s^?1 over a temperature range of 300 K to 923 K (27 °C to 650 °C) to examine the effects of temperature and strain rate on tensile deformation and fracture behavior of P92 ferritic steel. The variations of flow stress/strength values, work hardening rate, and tensile ductility with respect to temperature exhibited distinct three temperature regimes. The fracture mode remained transgranular. The steel exhibited serrated flow, an important manifestation of dynamic strain aging, along with anomalous variations in tensile properties in terms of peaks in flow stress/strength and work hardening rate, negative strain rate sensitivity, and ductility minima at intermediate temperatures. At high temperatures, the rapid decrease in flow stress/strength values and work hardening rate, and increase in ductility with increase in temperature and decrease in strain rate, indicated the dominance of dynamic recovery.     

铁索体/贝氏体多相组织钢硬化行为表征参数

摘要：为了研究大变形管线钢应变硬化行为及其表征参数之间关联性,采用TMCP工艺调控制备了9种不同贝氏体体积分数的铁素体/贝氏体（F/B）多相组织钢。通过力学性能及应变硬化行为分析,对应变硬化指数、应力比、屈强比和伸长率等大变形管线钢应变硬化能力表征参数之间的关联性及其机制、内涵和适用范围进行了研究。结果表明,F/B多相钢中,应力比Rt20/Rt10和均匀伸长率与应变硬化指数呈线性正比关系,屈强比与应变硬化指数呈非线性反比关系,应力比Rt50/Rt10在一定条件下与应变硬化指数存在线性关系,应力比Rt15/Rt05、总伸长率、应变硬化指数之间不具备明显的关系。通过应变硬化行为分析合理阐释了以上参数之间的关联机制,并阐释了其内涵和适用范围。硬化指数、均匀伸长率和应力比Rt20/Rt10应作为描述F/B多相钢塑性形变阶段应变硬化能力的主要参数,屈强比和应力比Rt50/Rt10则应作为次要参数。采用工业化生产数据对上述结论进行了验证,与所得结论吻合良好。     

Mechanical behavior of aluminum-lithium alloys at cryogenic temperatures

The cryogenic mechanical properties of aluminum-lithium alloys are of interest because these alloys are attractive candidate materials for cryogenic tankage. Previous work indicates that the strength-toughness relationship for alloy 2090-T81 (Al-2.7Cu-2.2Li-0.12Zr by weight) improves significantly as temperature decreases. The subject of this investigation is the mechanism of this improvement. Deformation behavior was studied since the fracture morphology did not change with temperature. Tensile failures in 2090-T81 and -T4 occur at plastic instability. In contrast, in the binary aluminum-lithium alloy studied here they occur well before plastic instability. For all three materials, the strain hardening rate in the longitudinal direction increases as temperature decreases. This increase is associated with an improvement in tensile elongation at low temperatures. In alloy 2090-T4, these results correlate with a decrease in planar slip at low temperatures. The improved toughness at low temperatures is believed to be due to increased stable deformation prior to fracture.     

Effect of tempering temperature on strain hardening exponent and flow stress curve of 1000 MPa grade steel for construction machinery

To study the effect of tempering temperature on strain hardening exponent and flow stress curve, one kind of 1000 MPa grade low carbon bainitic steel for construction machinery was designed, and the standard uniaxial tensile tests were conducted at room temperature.A new flow stress model, which could predict the flow behavior of the tested steels at different tempering temperatures more efficient-ly, was established.The relationship between mobile dislocation density and strain hardening expo-nent was discussed based on the dislocation-stress relation.Arrhenius equation and an inverse propor-tional function were adopted to describe the mobile dislocation, and two mathematical models were established to describe the relationship between tempering temperature and strain hardening expo-nent.Nonlinear regression analysis was applied to the Arrhenius type model, hence, the activation energy was determined to be 37.6 kJ/mol.Moreover, the square of correlation coefficient was 0.985, which indicated a high reliability between the fitted curve and experimental data.By comparison with the Arrhenius type curve, the general trend of the inverse proportional fitting curve was coincided with the experimental data points except of some fitting errors.Thus, the Arrhenius type model can be adopted to predict the strain hardening exponent at different tempering temperatures.     

Influence of Strain Rate and Temperature on Tensile Deformation and Fracture Behavior of Type 316L(N) Austenitic Stainless Steel

Tensile tests were performed at strain rates ranging from 3.16 × 10^?5 to 3.16 × 10^?3 s^?1 over the temperatures ranging from 300 K to 1123 K (27 °C to 850 °C) to examine the effects of temperature and strain rate on tensile deformation and fracture behavior of nitrogen-alloyed low carbon grade type 316L(N) austenitic stainless steel. The variations of flow stress/strength values, work hardening rate, and tensile ductility with respect to temperature exhibited distinct three temperature regimes. The steel exhibited distinct low- and high-temperature serrated flow regimes and anomalous variations in terms of plateaus/peaks in flow stress/strength values and work hardening rate, negative strain rate sensitivity, and ductility minima at intermediate temperatures. The fracture mode remained transgranular. At high temperatures, the dominance of dynamic recovery is reflected in the rapid decrease in flow stress/strength values, work hardening rate, and increase in ductility with the increasing temperature and the decreasing strain rate.     

Influence of PreTransformed Martensite on WorkHardening Behavior of SUS 304 Metastable Austenitic Stainless Steel

 The metastable austenite was transformed to martensite by prestrain tension of SUS304 stainless steel to study the influence of transformed martensite on its subsequent work hardening behavior under the uniaxial tensile condition. The X ray diffractometer (XRD) was employed to detect the transformed martensite. Results showed that the volume fraction of transformed martensite increases with increasing prestrain. The pre transformed martensite in the microstructure remarkably affects the deformation behavior of the steel, and the strength increases and the elongation decreases. The work hardening curve of prestrained specimens observably changes with true strain. The work hardening exponent n of stainless steel decreases with the increase of pre transformed martensite. The achievement is a significant contribution to the process design during pressing.     

MicroROM: A Physics-Based Constitutive Model for Ni-Based Superalloys

In this article, a physics-based constitutive model is developed for representing the stress–plastic strain response of Ni-based superalloys by considering the hardening mechanisms that contribute to the macroscopic yield stress and the subsequent strain-hardening response in order to derive the entire tensile stress–strain curve. It is demonstrated that the log stress vs log plastic strain curves of Ni-based superalloys such as 702 Li and ME3 exhibit a bilinear behavior with a lower strain-hardening exponent in the low plastic strain regime and a much higher strain-hardening exponent in the high plastic strain regime. These two hardening regimes can be modeled on the basis of self-hardening of individual slip planes and latent hardening of five operative independent slip systems due to cross-slip from {111} planes to {001} planes, leading to the formation of incomplete and complete Kear-Wilsdorf locks. The proposed physics-based constitutive model, dubbed as MicroROM, exhibits a form that is similar to the Ramberg–Osgood (RO) constitutive model, which is widely used in structural analyses of engineering designs and components. MicroROM is applied to predict the tensile stress–strain curves of 720 Li and ME3 with either a subsolvus or supersolvus microstructure for temperatures ranging from 24 °C to 815 °C. The agreement is good between model predictions and experiment data from the literature. The sensitivity of the predicted stress–strain response to individual microstructural parameters is highlighted and the relation to individual hardening mechanisms is elucidated.     

Effect of retained austenite on the yielding and deformation behavior of a dual phase steel

Tensile tests were conducted on a vanadium containing dual phase steel at temperatures between −53 and + 187°C to determine the effect of retained austenite stability on tensile properties. The transformation of retained austenite to martensite with stress/strain was shown to be a contributing factor in the yielding and strain hardening behavior of the dual phase steel. Increasing the stability of the austenite, by increasing the test temperature, caused the expected shift in the austenite to martensite strain transformation to higher strains. This led to a lower initial strain hardening exponent which increased with strain, compared to the ambient and sub-zero temperature deformation where the initial strain hardening exponent was higher but decreased with strain. The former behavior, which accentuated the strain hardening ability at higher strains, led to an increase in the uniform and total elongations, suggesting that the ductility of dual phase steels can be further improved by optimizing the stability of the retained austenite.     

Influence of Temperature on Tensile Stress–Strain and Work Hardening Behaviour of Forged Thick Section?9Cr–1Mo Ferritic Steel

True stress (??)?Ctrue plastic strain (??) behaviour examined for temperatures ranging from 300 to 873?K suggested that a combination of Ludwigson and Hollomon equations describes ??C?? behaviour most accurately in forged thick section?9Cr?C1Mo steel. Alternatively, the flow behaviour for temperature range 300?C873?K can be described adequately using single Voce equation. Good correlations have been obtained between work hardening parameters evaluated using Voce equation and the respective tensile properties. The variations of instantaneous work hardening rate (???=?d??/d??) and ??? with stress displayed two-stage behaviour characterised by a rapid decrease at low stresses (transient stage) followed by a gradual decrease at high stresses (stage-III). The variations of work hardening parameters, ?? versus ?? and ??? versus ?? with temperature exhibited three distinct temperature regimes along with signatures of dynamic strain ageing at intermediate temperatures and dominance of dynamic recovery at high temperatures. Comparison of work hardening parameters obtained using Voce equation and Kocks?CMecking approach suggested an analogy between the two for the steel.     

Multiphase microstructure and property of low carbon bainite/ferrite steel by quenching and carbon partitioning

The multiphase microstructure and properties of low carbon steel by IQ&PB process under different partitioning temperatures and time were studied by means of SEM, EPMA, XRD and tensile testing. Results show that the microstructures of experimental steel consist of ferrite, bainite and retained austenite. With the increase of the holding time in two- phase region, the C and Mn contents apparently increase in martensite which transformed from austenite, and C and Mn content are 1. 47 times and 1. 16 times than average value of the base. With the decrease of the quenching and partitioning temperature, the volume fraction of the bainite increases, the microstructure is refined, and the content of M/A islands increases. With the temperature and time increased, the volume fraction of retained austenite at room temperature increases, the tensile strength decreases, the total elongation increases, and work hardening behavior occurrs continuously. When the partitioning time is 30min and the partitioning temperature is 400??, the tensile strength of the steel is 1107MPa, the elongation is 24%, the product of strength and elongation reaches above 26568MPa??%.

The effect of grain size, strain rate, and temperature on the mechanical behavior of commercial purity aluminum

Commercial purity aluminum AA1050 was subjected to equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) that resulted in an ultrafine-grained (UFG) microstructure with an as-received grain size of 0.35 μm. This UFG material was then annealed to obtain microstructures with grain sizes ranging from 0.47 to 20 μm. Specimens were compressed at quasi-static, intermediate, and dynamic strain rates at temperatures of 77 and 298 K. The mechanical properties were found to vary significantly with grain size, strain rate, and temperature. Yield stress was found to increase with decreasing grain size, decreasing temperature, and increasing strain rate. The work hardening rate was seen to increase with increasing grain size, decreasing temperature, and increasing strain rate. The influence of strain rate and temperature is most significant in the smallest grain size specimens. The rate of work hardening is also influenced by strain rate, temperature, and grain size with negative rates of work hardening observed at 298 K and quasi-static strain rates in the smallest grain sizes and increasing rates of work hardening with increasing loading rate and grain size. Work hardening behavior is correlated with the substructural evolution of these specimens.     

Determination of Optimal Recrystallization Annealing Temperature of Nb-Ti Microalloyed High Strength IF Steel

The Nb-Ti microalloyed high strength IF steel sheet was used to study the effect of annealing temperature on the microstructures,mechanical properties and textures.The experimental results show that experimental steel is incomplete recrystallization at 750℃ annealing,but complete recrystallization from 780℃ to 870℃ under experimental conditions.When the annealing temperature was increased,the yield strength and tensile strength would gradually reduce,the plastic strain ratio and yield point elongation would gradually increase.The yield strength,tensile strength,elongation,the plastic strain ratio and the strain hardening exponent were approximate 300MPa,410MPa,36.5%,1.7 and 0.22 respectively under annealing temperature 810℃ to 840℃.When the annealing temperature was increased,the α-textures and γ-textures were gradually weakened,and the α-textures have a trend to {111} texture.Therefore,the suggestion of the optimal recrystallization annealing temperature is about 810℃ to 840℃ in industrial production.     

含硅镍低密度钢的温拉伸力学行为及强韧机制

 为了分析硅镍合金化奥氏体基低密度钢在中温环境下的拉伸变形行为,采用Instron电子拉力试验机对Fe-28.64Mn-8.99Al-1.68Si-1.39Ni-1.0C(Mn29Al9Si2Ni,质量分数/%)低密度钢在23~300 ℃下进行了温拉伸试验,研究了该钢的温拉伸力学行为,并采用SEM、TEM和热力学计算对该钢的强韧化机制进行了研究。结果表明,随着应变的增加,温拉伸应力-应变曲线主要包括弹性变形、均匀塑性变形和断裂等几个过程,没有明显的屈服现象。随着温度的提高,该钢的强度逐渐降低,塑性(断后伸长率)先增加后减小再升高,于200 ℃时出现塑性低谷,此时该钢的应力-应变曲线和应变硬化率曲线均具有明显的锯齿状特征,应变硬化率随应变的增加变化不大。而该钢在其他温度下的应力-应变曲线和应变硬化率曲线没有发现明显的“锯齿状”特征,应变硬化率随应变的增加而平缓下降。试验钢在23~300 ℃下的主要强韧化机制为κ-碳化物强化、应变强化、孪生诱发塑性和动态应变时效强化。较低温度下位错可动性较差对孪生诱发的促进作用、镍元素和硅元素对孪生的抑制作用、较高温度下孪生现象的减弱和温度对动态应变时效的促进或抑制作用等使得试验钢在23、100和300 ℃时存在明显的孪生诱发塑性,而在200 ℃时存在明显的动态应变时效强化的主要原因。动态应变时效强化是该钢在200 ℃时出现塑性低谷的主要原因。
