Effect of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of duplex stainless steel

Present study concerns the effect of deformation and heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a duplex stainless steel. While hot rolling causes the coarse distribution of the constituent phases (ferrite and austenite), 50% cold rolling results into the elongated and splintered two — phase structure. Supersaturated ferrite structure established by water quenching from 1300°C results into the strengthening due to the formation of fine dispersed austenite precipitates within ferrite grain after isothermal heat treatment (1000°C, 0.5 hour). Duplex structure consisting of ferrite and austenite in a fine-grained form is obtained after isothermal heat treatment of cold rolled sample. Cold deformed and heat treated steel exhibits best combination of strength and ductility among all the investigated steel samples.     

热处理对X90管线钢组织性能的影响

将焊接的与未焊接的X90管线钢固溶后保温不同时间,对其显微组织和拉伸性能进行了分析.结果表明,X90管线钢在不同保温时间下的组织均由多边形铁素体和粒状贝氏体组成.随着保温时间的延长,粒状贝氏体由弥散状变为团状,M-A岛的含量增多,铁素体平均晶粒尺寸增大.焊接的与未焊接的实验钢保温时间为30 min,抗拉强度分别达最高660 MPa和725 MPa;保温60 min时抗拉强度分别最低为603 MPa和647 MPa.析出强化和细晶强化对钢的力学性能都有贡献,在保温30 min时,析出强化占主导地位.热处理对X90管线钢的性能影响对于经过焊接的与未焊接的实验钢,表现出了同样的趋势.     

The effect of prior heat treatments on the structure and properties of warm-rolled AlSl 52100 steel

Isothermal rolling of AISI 52100 steel at 923 K (650 °C) has been used to produce very fine spheroidized carbide particles 0.1 to 0.2 μm in size in a submicron grain size ferrite matrix. Pearlitic starting structures are not completely spheroidized by such warm rolling and some isolated pearlite colonies remain after rolling. Tempered martensitic starting structures result in more uniform structures after rolling. The effect of varying the austenitizing time and temperature and of two cycle austenitizing treatments before rolling of tempered martensite were studied. After rolling, the room temperature yield strength was raised, a result of the finer dispersion of carbides and the associated reduction in ferrite grain size. The presence of isolated pearlite colonies in rolled material reduces the room temperature ductility.

热处理工艺对高速钢轧辊组织和性能的影响

研究了淬火温度、冷却方式、回火温度和回火次数对高速钢轧辊组织和性能的影响.结果表明,油冷条件下,淬火温度低于1050℃,随着温度升高,硬度升高,超过1100℃,硬度反而降低.盐浴冷却(盐冷)和空冷条件下,淬火温度对硬度影响结果相似,但获得最高硬度的淬火温度高于油冷时的淬火温度.回火温度低于350℃,高速钢硬度变化不明显,超过475℃,随回火温度升高,硬度升高,并在525℃达到最高值,继续提高回火温度,硬度降低.二次回火后硬度变化不大,三次回火后,硬度反而降低.空冷高速钢轧辊,淬透性差;油冷高速钢轧辊易出现裂纹;盐冷高速钢轧辊,具有优良的淬透性,不易出现裂纹,辊面硬度高,硬度均匀性好,耐磨性好

The effect of heat treatment on microstructure and cryogenic fracture properties in 5Ni and 9Ni steel

Heat treatments were utilized in 5Ni and 9Ni steel which resulted in the development of tempered microstructures which contained either no measurable retained austenite (<0.5 pct) or approximately 4 to 5 pct retained austenite as determined by X-ray diffraction. Microstructural observations coupled with the results of tensile testing indicated that the formation of retained austenite correlated with a decrease in carbon content of the matrix. Relative values ofK _IC at 77 K were estimated from slow bend precracked Charpy data using both the COD and equivalent energy measurements. In addition, Charpy impact properties at 77 K were determined. In the 9Ni alloy, optimum fracture toughness was achieved in specimens which contained retained austenite. This was attributed to changes in yield and work hardening behavior which accompanied the microstructural changes. In the 5Ni alloy, fracture toughness equivalent to that observed in the 9Ni alloy was developed in grain refined and tempered microstructures containing <0.5 pct retained austenite. A decrease in fracture toughness was observed in grain refined 5Ni specimens containing 3.8 pct retained austenite due to the premature onset of unstable cracking. This was attributed to the transformation of retained austenite to brittle martensite during deformation. It was concluded that the formation of thermally stable retained austenite is beneficial to the fracture toughness of Ni steels at 77 K as a result of austenite gettering carbon from the matrix during tempering. However, it was also concluded that the mechanical stability of the retained austenite is critical in achieving a favorable enhancement of cryogenic fracture toughness properties.

Controlling residual stresses in 52100 bearing steel by heat treatment

Compressive residual stresses can be induced in the surface of quenched and tempered 52100 steel (1 pct carbon, 1.5 pct chromium) by austenitizing in a carburizing atmosphere, even though the austenitizing temperature is well below that needed to dissolve all pri-mary carbides. The carburized surface layer contains a larger volume fraction of pri-mary carbides, more retained austenite and is slightly harder than the interior. Rolling contact fatigue tests show that carburizing can produce a 50 pct improvement in the fa-tigue life of 52100 steel.     

The effect of austenitizing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-quenched 4340 steel

The effect of austenitizing temperature on both the plane strain fracture toughness,K _IC , and the microstructure of AISI 4340 was studied. Austenitizing temperatures of 870 and 1200°C were employed. All specimens austenitized at 1200°C were furnace cooled from the higher austenitizing temperature and then oil quenched from 870°C. Transmission electron microscopy revealed an apparent large increase in the amount of retained austen-ite present in the specimens austenitized at the higher temperature. Austenitizing at 870°C resulted in virtually no retained austenite; only minor amounts were found sparsely scat-tered in those areas examined. A considerably altered microstructure was observed in specimens austenitized at 1200°C. Fairly continuous 100 to 200Å thick films of retained austenite were observed between the martensite laths throughout most of the area exam-ined. Additionally, specimens austenitized at 870°C contained twinned martensite plates while those austenitized at 1200°C showed no twinning. Plane strain fracture toughness measurements exhibited an approximate 80 pct increase in toughness for specimens austen-itized at 1200°C compared to those austenitized at 870°C. The yield strength was unaffected by austenitizing temperature. The possible role of retained austenite and the elimination of twinned martensite in the enhancement of the fracture toughness of those specimens austen-itized at the higher temperature will be discussed.

Study of the influence of heat treatment procedure on the microstructure and mechanical properties of H13 mandrel steel

In this study,the microstructural evolution of H13 mandrel steel during its manufacturing process and the influence of the preheat treatment procedure and the second-step tempering temperature on its microstructural and mechanical properties were investigated.The experiment results showed that,using an H13 mandrel steel billet in the as-annealed condition produced by Baosteel as a raw material,the preheat treatments of normalization,spheroidization annealing,or normalization plus spheroidization annealing,as described in this paper,had no significant effect on the final mechanical properties after quenching and tempering.H13 mandrel steel met all the mechanical property requirements via quenching and tempering without preheat treatment.In the temperature range from 600 to 680℃,with an increase in the second-step tempering temperature,the strength gradually decreased whereas the plasticity and toughness gradually improved.Using the quenching-plus-first-tempering procedure of1030℃/1 h/oil cooling+600℃/5 h/air cooling,good balance between strength and toughness could be achieved by selecting 650℃as the second-step tempering temperature.The test results also showed that the holding time of the second tempering played a big role in the mechanical properties.When this holding time was extended from 1 to2 h,the hardness of the H13 mandrel steel decreased and the extent of this reduction increased with an increase in the second-step tempering temperature.In the temperature range of 1 030 to 1 090℃,the yield strength,tensile strength,and hardness gradually increased,however,the impact toughness decreased with increases in the quenching temperature.     

Effect of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of plastic mold steel 10Ni2Cr2MnCuMoVAl

The effects of solution and aging treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of 10Ni2Cr2MnCuMoVAl plastic mold steel were experimentally studied. The results show that the dominant microstructure of 10Ni2Cr2MnCuMoVAl steel after solid solution treatment is lath martensite, and higher solution temperature results to larger width of martensite, while the highest value of hardness could be obtained after solution treatment at 890??. After aging, the microstructure consists of lath martensite, granular bainite and carbides. For steel aged at 460-520??, the strength of the material gradually increased with higher aging temperature, while the toughness decreased gradually. When the temperature exceeded 520??, higher temperature led to decreased hardness and increased toughness. Compared the mechanical properties of steel aged at 540?? for different time, the test steel reached the peak of mechanical properties at 8h. By comparing the mechanical properties of the test steels after different aging treatments, the optimized heat treatment process of 10Ni2Cr2MnCuMoVAl steel is solution treatment at 880?? for 2h with air cooling and tempering temperature at 540?? for 4h with air cooling.
